As educators increasingly look to customize their own lesson plans, the Channel One News Video Library is a comprehensive resource of Channel One News’ video segments and activities created with one goal in mind: to help students interpret the news and spark important conversations around current events.
The Channel One News Video Library includes:
- 2,200 Channel One News video segments, searchable by grade, subject area and keywords
- 1,200 video transcripts
- Interactive, standards-aligned content including slideshows, timelines, discussion questions, writing prompts and quizzes tied to specific video segments
Later this fall, Channel One News will roll out themed content packages covering significant news events, like 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, climate change, the Constitution and the life and death of Nelson Mandela.
Channel One News General Manager of Digital Products, Sharleen Smith, said: “As we gear up for another exciting school year, we’re thrilled to offer educators a robust video library that aggregates the very best of our award-winning news videos and supplemental, standards-aligned activities. Over the last few years, we’ve recognized several simultaneous needs in the teaching community: educators are looking to seamlessly integrate more current events into their lesson plans; they’re adopting new teaching environments like BYOD and flipped classroom; and many of them are looking to align their daily lesson plans to newly-implemented standards. We’re proud that this video library addresses all of those needs in one, easily searchable database.”
