Discovery Education Video Streaming

The Discovery Education Video Streaming (DEVS) website is a very helpful resource for teachers to use in the classroom.  It is similar to Teacher Tube in that it provides educational videos for teachers to use.  However, when comparing these two sites, it is easy to notice the differences in the searching capabilities.  DEVS is very organized and advanced in searching options.  Searching is self explanatory and efficient because teachers can search for videos using specific state standards.  This cuts down on a lot of time spent looking through videos that do not pertain to what they are looking for.  How the videos are broken down into segments is also very useful because it allows teachers to pick which part of whole videos is most important for students to see.  DEVS makes it easy for teachers to save and organize videos they want to use by using the My Content folder.  The site also offers many bonus features to enhance student learning such as the quiz builder and world atlas.  DEVS is a great classroom resource for teachers to have access to.
