I really appreciate you sharing the ease at which your students ran with this tool. If I had high speed out where I live, my son would never leave the site. He loves pretty much anything Nat Geo. Your point about the sounds is right on. They have a great item to draw the kids in, now pump it up just a little bit with more pics and audio so they can really enjoy it. Otherwise, it could get boring after a little bit. I hope you either subscribe to my site or come back. I look forward to hearing more from you and what your students are doing in the classroom with technology. Thanks so much, Nedra.

I have a 40 minute period with them. They were able to get logged on, listen to directions, make a movie, save it, copy the retrevial code and get logged off in that 40 minute slot. A few of them even added captions. They loved it. Since my IWB wasn't working today I went to plan B with my third graders and had them make one as well. They needed minimal directions and enjoyed it as well. My wish for the program is more animal sounds to match all the great clips. Although listening to lions roaring while watching lobsters crawl across the ocean floor was pretty amusing! BTW, this is my first time to your blog. I love all your great links, thanks for sharing.
