Comments on Three Next Vista Videos

Science: Understanding the Periodic Table

This video was informative but it had no audio. It was very informative reviewing the organization and layout of the periodic table but I had to go back and watch it a second time because I miss read something. I liked how the Periodic Table changed color to highlight different periods and groups.

History: U.S. Forefathers

I liked this video but the title was not descriptive enough. It should have been stated that it was about the pilgrim monument and the meaning behind its design. I liked this video because it acted as a virtual field trip. There was statement at the end about how a shell monument showed the value of history but I needed a little more of an explanation.

Technology: Gaming in the Classroom

It was really short it has taken me to longer to comment on it than it did to watch it.
It was based on a few points: Be careful of underling messages in games and make sure it is age appropriate. It was just a talking head. But as I said before was short and concise but maybe too concise.
