10 Sites for Educational Documentaries

Tech and Learning recently published a well-informed article about internet documentaries.  I am enclosing this article for your reference.  There is nothing that makes a subject area come to life than actual footage!

Documentaries are used in education all the time to educate and inform students about different nonfiction topics.  While there are a ton of sites to choose from,
I've decide to curate this list to make it easier for educators to find what
they are looking for. This list is in alphabetical order.

1. Chockadoc - A nice site for finding documentaries
   with an educational category where people can rate videos as well. (Editor's
   note: Chockadoc's website is down temporarily while they switch servers. Visit
   them on Facebook to learn more.)
   


2. Documentary Heaven - A great place to find 1000s
   of documentaries on a wide variety of subjects.


3. Documentary Storm - A fun community for finding
   documentaries rated on a six-star scale.  Users have the ability to leave
   comments and collaborate with others.


4. Documentary Tube - A wonderful place to find
   documentaries where users can save documentaries by creating
   playlists.


5. Documentary Wire - A simple site with lots of
   educational documentaries to browse through.


6. DocumentaryZ - A great place to find free
   documentaries where people can search by most popular, subject, or best
   rated.


7. Free Documentaries - This is a excellent place to
   find political and educational documentaries.


8. John Locker - A nice place to find documentaries
