FEATURED PARTNER: Next Vista for Learning
Next Vista for Learning is an educational nonprofit (U.S. 501(c)3) dedicated to building a free, online library of videos by and for teachers and students everywhere.
The library contains three collections: Light Bulbs (help with academic topics), Global Views (introductions of communities to help people learn about other parts of the world), and Seeing Service (profiles of those who in a big or small way make life better for others). There is no cost to use or submit to the site; the idea is to get good insights to people wherever good resources are in short supply.

Contribute to the Next Vista Video Library for Curriki
These videos follow four rules. Videos should be five minutes or shorter in length, should contain no copyrighted material, should not be inappropriate for a young audience, and should be factual with resources and information cited where appropriate.
It is our hope at NextVista.org that the videos we have collected for our library might be useful to the members of Curriki. To that end, we hope that people who find these videos helpful will share their own ideas on how most effectively to use them. Those who create supplementary material to use with the videos are encouraged to post such resources here at Curriki. Those with suggestions for Next Vista for Learning are welcome to contact us at info@nextvista.org.
Next Vista for Learning is honored to be a partner of Curriki and looks forward to seeing what we contribute used in creative and educationally valuable ways by teachers and students around the world.
