Teachers’ Domain is an online repository of media resources for educational use, gathered primarily from public television. There are three editions of the site: K-12, college, and an edition specific to New York State educators. The college edition has a number of resources for Science, as well as Engineering and Technology. The K-12 edition has many more resources available than the college edition, but some of the movies for grade 12 could also be applicable for developmental studies and 100-level courses. There is also a “special collections” area that includes—among other things— an Alaska Native Perspectives on Earth and Climate. You may need to create an account to access some of the content.

You’ll want to note the license agreement for any resources you use. As typical with OERs, the licenses range from link and view only, to remix and share with attribution.

Major funding for the site was provided by the National Science Foundation.
