[AstroNet] NASA eClips - educational downloads

[Maciej Soltynski]

An (edited) announcement from NASA



NASA is making available a free Web-based educational product to learners of all ages. NASA eClips consists of more than 55 short, 5-10 minute video segments, which are available on-demand on the Internet. NASA eClips features many of the agency's missions and engages students in the excitement of science and engineering. From the deepest regions of space to hurricanes here on Earth, the goal of NASA eClips is to inspire students to learn more about science and math concepts. Additionally, the NASA eClips program is separated into grade-appropriate topics and designed as a resource for classroom teachers. Accompanying the collection of NASA eClips will be educator guides to provide teachers with examples of how to effectively use the products as instructional tools. Students, teachers and the general public can look forward to new video and educational content highlighting current research and innovations each week throughout the (US) school year. The number of video clips is expected to grow to more than 220 by next year. 



I note that some of the clips are large (more than 100MB) and many are not Astronomy related. For more info go to:
