Chalkwaves Ohio

ChalkwavesChalkwaves Ohio is an Ohio standards-based version of the popular digital media-on-demand content library. It is a hard drive-based solution that streams video directly into the classroom from its own hard drive attached to a school’s network.

The full K-12 collection contains more than 1,300 outstanding video titles. Each video is divided or “chunked” into a total of 11,000 two- to eight-minute clips for easy integration into lesson plans. Custom video clips can also be created with only a few clicks of the mouse, so teachers can use only what they need.

Chalkwaves Ohio is available to schools for an annual licensing fee of $1.25 per student, plus a one-time cost of $275 to $425 depending on drive configuration for the content library on a USB, Firewire, or NAS hard drive. Yearly license renewals are only 95¢ per student.

Chalkwaves Ohio is so intuitive and easy to use that students can quickly learn to search for and play GLI-targeted video clips on their own—making Chalkwaves Ohio especially helpful for differentiated instruction that emphasizes self-paced learning.

More information about Chalkwaves Ohio is available in Questions and Answers.
