As classroom teachers prepare their lesson plans around the upcoming presidential election, searching for ways to engage students in the fundamentals of our political process, NBC News in partnership with HotChalk is launching today the most comprehensive digital, curricular resource ever available on American presidential politics.

The pioneering Decision '08 resource, designed specifically for classroom instruction, offers the latest, up-to-the-minute presidential election news through a video-on-demand user interface, allowing teachers to effortlessly customize their lesson plans with compelling and relevant content to bring the election process and political issues to life.
