Teachers’ Domain is a producer and online library of public media resources that strives to help teachers use technology in the classroom and inspire students to learn by providing educational digital content paired with innovative teaching tips, resources, and background information. As part of that mission, Teachers’ Domain has shared a selection of videos and Flash-based interactives with Mimio that MimioStudio users can save in their Gallery for free and easily incorporate into their lessons.
Over 250 science and social studies videos and interactive activities from Teachers’ Domain have been built into content packs and are available to be downloaded from MimioConnect and installed into the MimioGallery. The Teachers’ Domain files include content appropriate for preK-12th grade, cover a broad range of subject areas such as biology, earth and space sciences, environmental science, physics, cultural studies, and history, and are aligned to national and state standards.
For more classroom resources associated with these videos and interactives, such as background essays, discussion questions and standards alignment, please visit the Teachers' Domain website at www.teachersdomain.org.
