[Discoveryeducation.com] Discovery Education Digital Curriculum is a customized, comprehensive collection of digital resource coupled with professional development and curriculum alignment services to ensure success in the classroom. Created by the Discovery Channel, we engage students through dynamic curricular resources like Discovery Education streaming Plus and Discovery Education Science, support teachers through customized professional development and assessment services, and ultimately improve student achievement.

I like the website because I can type in what I am looking for. I chose Pearl Harbor. From there I received the following information: 24 Full Videos, 85 Video segments, 2 Audio files, 28 images, 3 Encyclopedia Articles, and 8 Events. 47 of the videos have Closed Captioning, 81 are editable, and 2 are primary Source.

What makes it so useful to me is I can download and save to my computer ANY of the resources listed. That is 150 digital resources in 25 seconds. Our district is a subscriber to this service, which allows us to do this.
