GEN: 100% Videos

[Johanna Halbeisen <johanna@MASSED.NET>]

My teachers requested lots of videos from this company due to their policy
of sending each teacher a flier of videos for that grade.  I found them
very uneven.  Some were good, some were not at the grade level advertised,
some were very sloppily done.  What I did was keep a record of what teacher
requested which video and when they came in, I asked that teacher to review
the video and tell me if it was useful.  The company allows a 60 day return
(I think, check with them).

I like Library Video Company.  They have a much larger selection and you
can collect a list of the subjects of videos teachers request and go search
the web site (libraryvideo.com).  I printed out the descriptions of the
ones I found, ran those by the teachers and ordered that way.  For the most
part these are cheaper, but I found with one thing and another, I sent
nearly as many back from this company too.  I guess there's no magic bullet
for purchasing videos, unless the teacher knows the producer and the series.
