Homework Help Education Videos for Students: Download or Watch Online

Free online streaming and downloadable video programs for elementary, middle, and high school students and teachers are now available through the new ECB VideoLink service.

Videos may be viewed immediately on a computer – or in some cases – downloaded for later use.

ECB VideoLink features more than 350 educational video programs that span the spectrum from art to zoology, and include series designed for use in pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade classrooms. The collection also includes professional development series for teachers.

This is a great opportunity for students to get high quality educational content whenever they need it.

All these videos have been chosen in cooperation with Wisconsin teachers and Department of Public Instruction content-area specialists, and are designed specifically to address the academic standards for Wisconsin students.

The Educational Communications Board (ECB) has been providing video programs for classroom and professional development use for over 30 years through instructional television broadcasts on Wisconsin public television stations. With this new service, many of those same programs are available through the Winneconne Public Library.

The library’s access to ECB VideoLink videos is provided by BadgerLink, a project of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s Division for Libraries, Technology, and Community Learning.
