DVRs for Educators

I am a member of a number of local groups that discuss homeschooling. One of the members mentioned recording educational programming to a DVR for use later in the classroom and I thought I would pass the idea along here.

We have been recording shows to our DVR for quite sometime. The National Geographic Channel, the Discovery Channel, the Science Channel, the History Channel, DIY, HGTV, and many others are all wonderful resources. In addition, we have purchased a number of series sets from the Discovery Store.

Cable in the Classroom offers a lot of help with scheduling and additional information that would be useful for educators.

Using a mix of different media with my children has been very beneficial. They need to hear information from a variety of sources and the visual images available through these films and programs are much more realistic than we could offer through textbooks.
