Overall solid app but needs improvement for student users

Community Review for Smithsonian Channel
My Take
This app could be extremely helpful if the videos provided more information. Unfortunately, the videos are extremely brief in time and information. I did like how the app is set-up. Very user-friendly for teachers and students. For kids, the app provides a small supplement to what is being taught in class. It benefits them because the information is coming from another source other than myself.
How I Use It
In my classroom, the students use the videos as a supplement to prior learning. For example, they watched the videos about Japan surrendering during WWII. The videos worked really well, but they needed to be longer. It was easy to find the videos together, but categories would have been more helpful.
