EVERYTHING! This is our first year to actively use Safari Montage and the response from my teachers has been overwhelming! They love the ease of searching, on-demand service, quality of the content and that the videos are more educationally oriented than some services we have used in the past. Being able to view segments and bookmark even smaller segments enables teachers to actually teach using the videos rather than just "show a movie".
Teachers approach me in the grocery store, in the community, etc. to thank me for providing this service. Many say they never want to teach without Safari Montage again!

I love everything about Safari Montage. Here are some of my favorites:

- Search by Standards, select specific TEKS
- Watch specific segement of a video instead of watching entire one
- Transfering from English to Spanish (when available) is easy
- Close Captioning helps ELL students with spelling
- Speaking rate can be adjusted to help ELL students
- Creaqting Playlists and sharing them with campus or district

These are jsut a few suggestions that teachers in my school district trully enjoy.
