Educators may videotape and keep for classroom use "The Great Dinosaur 
Hunt" which is part of the Discovery Channel's "Assignment Discovery" 
series aimed at providing quality, commercial-free television programming 
for use in schools. Cable in the Classroom is a public-service initiative 
of the cable television industry and local/national cable providers.
Rights for Cable in the Classroom programs vary with each network. 
Discovery allows you to use their Cable in the Classroom programs for one 
year, and they frequently re-broadcast them so you can re-tape them and 
extend the time of their use.
