Created with an exceptionally diverse array of individuals and organizations, Educate.Today’s First-Person, Real World, and Expert-Driven videos are designed with an active, thinking, curious learner in mind.

Learners Go:

• “Inside the head” of expert practitioners applying the topic or skill they are studying.
• “Inside the location” where real world work is happening.
• “Inside the historic or current event” described by the people who were there when it happened.

So They Can:

• Actively think and make connections with the outside world.
• Analyze what they are learning and apply information successfully.
• Ask questions, collaborate, and take ownership of their learning journey.
• Construct, express, and evaluate their learning through multiple avenues.
• Transfer what they learn into real-life experiences.
