Most of the Video On Demand content is aligned with NYS Learning Standards and Performance Indicators. You can search for content by going to the Standards tab or you can search for content and click on the NYS standards link located below the video window.
[edit] Playlists
Educators and students can create playlist that are a compilation of relevant videos, documents, images, and/or audio that will aid in learning.
Educators can create playlist for students to view at home that are assessment, anticipatory sets, introductory, and/or part of daily learning.
Please remember to name playlist in a manner that will aid in searching for both educators and students.
We suggest: District Initials/School Initials - Topic - Teacher Name
For example: BOTS - Cells - Pietrantoni (BOCES Technology Services - Cells - Teacher Pietrantoni)
