United Streaming Online


This is the best things since slice bread and you don't have to pay for the bread you eat. This site is apart of the Discovery Channel internet sites. Imagine going to Blockbuster Videos Online and you can pick any movie you want and download or stream it to your computer. Simply type in www.unitedstreaming.com and the user-friendly website will request your user ID and password. It easy to register if you don't have an account but you will need a school code. Your curriculum instructor should have or know how to obtain this information.

I wanted to show a video to my students about the different types of vertebrate animals. I just type in the word "vertebrate" into the search box that is located at the top of the page. I was able to choose from a full videos on vertebrate animals or choose from sub topics like mammal, fish, or birds. Once type in the topic all the videos related to the topic will be listed. If you have to too many to choose from you can also do a more detailed search as well.

They even give you the capability of previewing the video before you down load it or stream it to your computer for students. Most of the video have a quiz included at the end of the video help with attentiveness and helping student to recap what they just viewed. Let me not forget the lesson plans and activities that are connected to the videos as well. They have quick videos as well as longer length videos on any content related to the topics we teach in school. And best of all this is free. Yes its free!
