 Here in Schenectady, we are lucky to have the best of both - DEstreaming and PowerMediaPlus.  I don’t know what our teachers would do if they didn’t have access to DEstreaming. However, in all fairness, Discovery’s other video on demand product, PowerMediaPlus, is worth some time to browse the content contained within.  Here is a listing of what is included in PowerMediaPlus.

• 3,300 full-length, up-to-date, curriculum-based videos (and growing!)
• 23,000 core concept video clips
• 6,000 curriculum-oriented audio files
• 25,000 high-resolution photographs, illustrations, and clip art images produced for the classroom
• 5,000 print resources, including teacher’s guides and worksheets
• 4,000 online resources related to specific titles
• 15,500 quiz questions and 1,100 pre-made quizzes
• Podcasts and episode publishing tools
• Programs correlated to state and national standards
• Current content for all K-12 subject areas: social studies, science, language arts, literature, math, guidance, health, professional development, and more—plus the largest collection of music, art, and children’s literature titles in the industry

If your district doesn’t have PowerMediaPlus, it may be worth talking to your administrators about.

Did you know Discovery has another media on demand service called PowerMediaPlus?  Schenectady receives PowerMediaPlus from WMHT, our local public television affiliate; and the NY Lottery.
I know there are other districts across the country that have access to PowerMediaPlus as well. In an effort to share features of PowerMediaPlus, I will be posting entries every so often about the product and how it can be used in your classrooms. Please feel free to comment on how your district uses PowerMediaPlus  and what you like about it.
