Downloadable and searchable video: Immediately usable video clips for your social studies classes. A fully searchable database of C-SPAN video clips, with many available for download.

Standards-based content: Video clips and discussion questions are linked to national standards, copyright-cleared for classroom use, and include primary source materials. New video clips are added regularly, and are searchable by keyword, speaker, or teaching concept.
