"The AT&T Tech Channel is a visually appealing website with videos on the "past, present and future of the world of technology."

ThreatTraq, updated weekly, is particularly valuable for information on privacy issues, gaming, malware, e-mail forgery, and other security news. The Cyber Challenge videos are up to five minutes long, and each has an online game that could be used in staff development sessions or the classroom.
The majority of videos include text with discussion topics, speaker information, and for historical videos, background information on the significance of the discovery or subject. Users can share videos through Twitter, Facebook, or e-mail, or embed them into their own sites. The videos load quickly and are of variable lengths. Some channels have not been updated for two to three years, but are still valuable. Users can conduct simple keyword searching via a search box at the top of each page or filter videos by popularity or topic. The site has no advertising and is free to use. AT&T Tech Channel is useful for history, technology, and science curricula; the material presented can provide discussion points in face-to-face or online classes. Summing Up: Recommended.
