Are you looking for some extra help with some of your subjects? Zane Education might be the answer for you. This is a great addition to any curriculum.

 

What is Zane Education you ask? Well, it is an online library of fully subtitled education videos. There are interactive quizzes, video study tools and free lesson plans. With nearly 2,000 videos, and 23,000 curriculum based multiple choice questions for 11 different subjects for grades K-12.

There subjects include:

  • Art
  • Biology
  • Geography
  • Health
  • History
  • Library Skills
  • Literature
  • Music
  • Religious Studies
  • Science
  • Social Studies

 

It was a bit overwhelming to me at first, but I just kinda jumped in. The first thing we watched was about the Solar System, since we are studying about that right now. They are cute little animated movies, and the kids really enjoyed them. They were engaged from them.. and wanted to keep watching them. It was a great addition to our already unit study.

We really enjoyed this program, and are excited to keep using it. I think it is great to supplement some of our curriculums. My son has asked to watch more video’s and the girls like it enough to sit and watch. It is a great way to add some fun to learning.
