A far cry from the usefulness of the more mature Discovery Streaming, and yet this free educators website from National Geographic is going to be infinitely useful for educators.

They have done a good job of segmenting their views by audience. Teachers, Informal Educators, Families, Students, Kids all have their own view. This is smart.

They also have a lot of free tools for educators and a very interesting Geography Alliance to promote Geography literacy and some useful material on the Japanese earthquake.

The more non-fiction multimedia companies do to organize resources, share, and help those with common learning interests network - the better off we'll all be.
