DISCOVERY EDUCATION ACCESS INFO:
FROM RYAN: The good news is... we are ready to test. I have downloaded a limited amount of content (roughly 20GB) to a server hosted at Glennallen High School. Content for the Glennallen School will be super fast, because it is hosted over the local network. However, I want to see how it works for everybody else, so we can determine whether or not this is a viable solution.
So... especially for Teachers in Copper Center, Kenny Lake, Slana, or Chisto; I would love if you would sign up for a Discovery Education account, select one or two titles from the list I am enclosing, and test some videos out during the school day. Glennaliens, you are also welcome to test, but the emphasis will be on those using the DSL connections to access the content. The title must match exactly for the test to be successful.
