After our launch, WatchKnowLearn has garnered enormous amount of word-of-mouth and "buzz." Here is just a sampling.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
You have all created an awesome resource!!!
Reasons you deserve high praise?
1. In the past, I have been going from site to site (you tube,
discover ed, etc) to find videos to use for our lesson plans and often
lose track of where I saw something to use.
It is sooooo nice to come to one place and have the ability to keep a
list of the videos that I want to include in our lessons, in one place!
2. The kids no longer have to go to you tube and be subjected to
inappropriate content - THAT IS TERRIFIC!
3. As a home school parent, I no longer have to bug the the school
board for discovery education logins or other sites, annually.
The kids respond amazingly well to video content and I am so very
grateful to have such a wonderful source as this. It saves me so much
in terms of time, effort, and money that I can now devote to our
curriculum and lesson plans.
You are all truly angels!
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
Warmest Wishes,
XXXXX
