Snag Learning, the education division of Snag Films that launched in August, contacted me today to say that they now have 275 films in their collection. Snag Learning offers access to most of the same films available on Snag Films. Snag Learning categorizes documentaries by grade level and content area. Additionally, Snag Learning offers a series of guiding questions for each film. You can embed previews of each video into your blog, but you have to watch the full-length versions on Snag Learning.


Applications for Education
Snag Learning is a good resource for teachers who would like to use high-quality documentaries in their classrooms, but don’t have the funds to purchase DVDs. Snag Learning also solves the problem that arises when you show a documentary to a class when a student is absent. Rather than having to lend out a valuable copy of the DVD you can direct the student returning from an absence to watch the film on Snag Learning.
