“This is one of the best ideas...”

“This site is great . . . Did you ever have your kids ask you something like; ‘When you turn the electricity switch on, why does the light come on’? This is one of the best ideas I have seen Bell Aliant come out with in a long time.” ~ TIM READ Parent and Learning Centre Subscriber

Why Choose Bell Aliant Learning Centre Premium Service?

The Bell Aliant Learning Centre Premium Service allows you to download any of the 30,000 clips or the 4,300 full length programs in the library. You can use them in your own computers or SMART Boards, or even burn DVDs to add to your school library.

We now feature France24 News Highlights clips as our current events programming.

The France24 world-news clips are gathered by the France24 professional newsreporting network, and available to Premium Service subscribers. The Daily Planet video science magazine library is also available only to Premium Service subscribers.

All of the titles and clips in the library are matched to provincial curriculums and can be easily searched by this filter, as well as by keyword, grade level or grade range.

There are now over 4,300 titles on the Premium Service (over 1,300 more titles than the basic service), and new titles are added monthly to the Premium Service only. We have also added over 1,500 Post Secondary Education videos that target High School advanced placement and Level 1 high school curriculums. Supporting teacher guides, lesson plans and study guides are also on the site.

“I highly recommend this resource...”

“Bell Aliant Learning Centre certainly saves A LOT of time accessing resources elsewhere. Teachers need easy access to resources that have the visual learner in mind. We need to touch on the multiple intelligences of our students and Learning Centre does just that. I highly recommend this resource for teachers, students, and their parents alike. Teachers at our school are finding it very useful.” ~ CARLA PORTER Teacher, Beachy Cove Elementary, East NFLD School District

“...clearly explains complex concepts...”

“My students love Bill Nye, he’s their new hero - ‘Bill Nye rocks Mr. Higdon’. I just completed teaching the Bernoulli affect which demonstrates wind pressure on surfaces, the basis for the flight of planes, and the visual learning experience that comes from the extensive Learning Centre Video Library clearly explains this and other complex concepts in my science and math classes.” ~ BRIAN HIGDON Principle/Teacher, JJ Curling Elementary, West NFLD School District
