History, Civics, and More

The Michigan Learning Channel supports social studies educators with videos, printable resources, and more.

All of our content is free to use for everyone. Educators use our videos in the classroom to introduce or reinforce topics, as plans for substitute teachers, and for students looking for extra practice in target areas. Families use lessons as an opportunity to learn together as a family.
