PK-12 School Datacasting

Datacasting lets you build a digital library of ECB resources in your school district. Through datacasting, we can broadcast digital versions of many ECB programs directly to a server in your school or district, without using any of your Internet bandwidth. You can then make these videos available on-demand through a shared server or on DVD's or CD's.
