Streaming Video!
- 11,000+ Full Videos
- 38,000+ Video Clips
- 5,800+ Short Videos, Newsreels, and Speeches
These cover virtually every curricular area. Some examples of the notable publishers are A&E, BBC, History Channel, and National Geographic.
All of these videos can be both streamed and downloaded to show in class. You can also assign your students videos links for viewing online outside class and students can access the database of videos themselves with this generic student login:
Username: miracosta Password: mchs
Your teacher login is in the format:
Username: firstinitial+lastname
Initial default pasword: MCHS (It is case sensitve. You will be prompted to create a new password the first time you login.)
In addition to videos, there are also additional materials such as timelines, maps, fact sheets, and more.
You can search for material by content standards, keywords, grade level, media format, publisher, series, date, and language. There are even videos in Spanish, French, and Mandarin!
Please take some time to explore and use this new resource! Visit this link for easy getting started information, and be sure to contact me with questions or if you would like a demo or help.
