New Medianet Service

We have begun to add links to websites in our Medianet catalog. There are links to election sites such as CNN and MSNBC. A teacher can click on the link and go automatically to the website. Try it by searching for CNN or MSNBC in the media catalog.

We are also adding links to teachers guides on videos and DVDs. We began with PBS American Experience. Search for "New York Underground" to find one of these links. Click on the Resources link to be taken to the site.

We will be adding more links. If you find a link that you would like added please email to lnichols@cayboces.org
