Safari Live Montage Pam Newman & Marisa Greco Dana-221 Tuesday 27th 8:10am & 1:10pm

SAFARI Montage is the award-winning Video-On-Demand and Digital Media Management solution for schools designed to cut costs by utilizing intelligent digital media delivery, while facilitating visual instruction and learning in the classroom. SAFARI Montage servers come preloaded with educational video titles from the industry's leading video publishers, including Schlessinger Media, PBS, The History Channel, National Geographic, Scholastic, Disney Education, BBC and more.

The Pennsylvania Association of Intermediate Units, PAIU, is pleased to announce that, beginning July 1, 2010, SAFARI Montage Video-on-Demand will be available to all public schools in the commonwealth connected to its high-speed network, PAIUnet.

“This is an exciting announcement and illustrates why PAIUnet is such an integral tool for Pennsylvania schools. Without PAIUnet’s high-speed, broadband infrastructure, we would not be able to provide SAFARI Montage video content in this capacity,” said Mark Hoffman, Director of Instructional Materials and Technology at Bucks County Intermediate Unit #22. “The content available through SAFARI Montage will supplement curriculum with cutting-edge digital resources that will enrich our students’ learning experiences.”

SAFARI Montage will be available to all PAIUnet-connected public schools at no cost for school year 2010-2011 through an Act 183 grant awarded by the Pennsylvania Department of Education to the Intermediate Units. Following the first year, schools will have access to SAFARI Montage at discounted pricing.
