SnagLearning (Snag quality films and instructional content)
I’ve been a fan of SnagFilms for a couple of years now. The site offers convenient and free access to more than 2100 award-winning documentaries. It has been among the most popular sites on our documentary film pathfinder.
SnagLearning features carefully selected films from SnagFilms’ award-winning library of over 2,000 documentaries that are appropriate for students from middle school and up. Our titles cover nearly every classroom subject and many are produced by well-known educational sources, including PBS and National Geographic. The goal of this site is to highlight documentaries that make for engaging educational tools. We will also feature guest teacher bloggers as well as special programming stunts like Q&As with the filmmakers.
SnagLearning can be searched by content area, grade level, or channel. Entries include film descriptions, learning questions, and the opportunity to submit plans and engage in discussion. New films are added weekly.
Encourage teachers who use video to enhance their curricula to subscribe to the site’s email newsletter or follow the site on Facebook and Twitter.
