K-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 almost all 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. For more information about how to get started datacasting in your school district, contact the ECB Liaison in your area (contact information below) or send an email to datacastsupport@ecb.org.
