What is the Digital Media Service?
UEN's Digital Media Service is a digital media repository filled with video and other educational media free for Utah's educators, students and citizen learners. The Digital Media Service allows you to search for content, preview it and then download the media for on demand use. The digital repository includes: videos licensed by the Utah Instructional Media Consortium, local programs from KUED-7, National PBS programs, as well as media from other trusted education partners.

NLVM is an excellent interactive math resource for grades K-12!

processing tool.
Start a document. Collaborators type the web address of the document into their browser and start collaboration in real time. Up to 16 people can work on the document at a time. Each collaborator can type using a different color. The chat feature allows for IM conversation to take place while working on the document. Play back the progress of the document as it was created, and then save it in one of several choices of formats.

Possible Uses:

 * === Project it on the classroom screen and collaborate with other classes to solve a curriculum problem in real time ===
 * === Have students work on a collaborative document/project while they're using the student classroom computer centers ===
 * === In a lab or eMints classroom, use it to pose a question to the class. All students can answer instead of one at a time. ===

It takes only minutes to learn. Try it out with another teacher and then get the students using it. They'll love it!
