Tips

  • To perform a keyword search of only the multimedia collection (as opposed to the whole website), select “multimedia” from the drop-down menu at the top of the page, then type your keyword(s) into the search box next to it.
  • Look in the sidebar of our multimedia records to see where an image, audio recording, or video clip is used in context — a page of text where it’s embedded or a lesson plan designed around it.
