Informative Videos from Scout :)

This is actually a Techno Tuesday from a little while ago. But, I was having some trouble with the keywords on the original post, so I had to delete it. But, here it is again, with better keywords :)

So I got to attend a webinar on a new service from Idaho Public Television and the Idaho Commission for Libraries, and I wanted to tell you about it.

The service is called Scout, and its basically a free database of informational videos from Idaho Public Television.

There are two sides to the interface. The Idaho Collection features full episodes on topics like history, science, and places. The Classroom Edition (requires a very short registration, but is still free) features three to six minute clips on almost any topic a teacher or student could need. The Classroom Edition also features the ability to creat playlists, and to favorite and organize videos.

If you're a fan of Idaho Public Television, need quick, informative videos, or are just curious about what kind of content is available, I encourage you to check this out!
