School Bus Keep Kids Safe on the School Bus with New Online Videos

 

Three new online videos promoting school bus safety for all grades are available at no charge to Ohio schools through INFOhio's Digital Video Collection.

 

Magic Tent (7:09) - For elementary school. A fifth grader explains school bus safety to his younger sister.

 

Safety Station (6:07) - For elementary school. Using models in a classroom setting, a teacher helps children understand key concepts of school bus safety, including The Danger Zone.

 

Just the Facts (8:58) - For middle and high school. Two teenagers give their peers a quick refresher in school bus safety.

 

The videos are available in both FLV and MP4 formats and can be streamed for immediate viewing, downloaded to view later, and even embedded on school web pages and within a school's learning management system. All videos come with support materials: teacher guides and classroom activities, links to school bus safety websites, and ideas for promoting National School Bus Safety Week.

 

Access to the videos within INFOhio's Digital Video Collection is openly available within all Ohio school buildings. Home access requires a username and password. If you do not know your school or district's username and password, just complete the fields on the Find My Password page. Please email [email protected] with questions or comments.

Supercharge!
Supercharge! Use Closed Captioning in the Digital Video Collection
You know closed captioning helps students with hearing impairments. Did you also know that it helps beginning, ESL, or struggling readers match spoken language with written language? And all students retain more when they can see as well as hear information.

To give your students that little extra boost, use the closed captioned educational videos available in INFOhio's Digital Video Collection. To find videos that offer closed captioning:
  1. Go to dvc.infohio.org and click Search.
  2. Select the CC box.
  3. Click Search to see the complete list. 
  4. Enter a keyword and click Search again to narrow the results.
