The videos were produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica. For reasons unknown, sometime after their original publication, these videos were lost.<BR/><BR/>When we discovered them and how intrinsically edifying they are, we negotiated an agreement with Encyclopaedia Britannica to be the exclusive worldwide agent to make them available.<BR/><BR/>For those of you who teach, this is great for the classroom.<BR/><BR/>I cannot over exaggerate how instructive these programs are--we are so sure that you will agree, if you are not completely satisfied, we will refund your donation.<BR/><BR/>Please go here to see a clip and learn more:<BR/><BR/>http://www.thegreatideas.org/HowToReadABook.htmMax Weismannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02461338802201367403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23087312.post-1154006541267217372006-07-27T06:22:21.266-07:002006-07-27T06:22:21.266-07:00I missed the Carnival, Can you add me to your list of when these Carnivals take place so I can contribute?

It's unanimous...that was wonderful! :-)<BR/><BR/>I didn't realize how many other homeschooler were out there. As a homeschooling graduate of last year, I've seen friends and family go through the "homeschooling stage" and end up in public school to graduate. It's great to see so many families schooling all the way through!no_average_girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07387924388981230190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23087312.post-1148495447666350102006-05-24T11:30:47.666-07:002006-05-24T11:30:47.666-07:00Great job, Dana!RichieDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09808171904420008024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23087312.post-1148490216012858252006-05-24T10:03:36.013-07:002006-05-24T10:03:36.013-07:00Dana-<BR/><BR/>You did a beautiful job putting this together.

I read the post after noticing a few visitors from a site I didn't recognize. I couldn't figure out how to comment, though. I'll try again now that I know it is possible! And thanks for the link!<BR/><BR/>And thank you everyone else for all the kind words. I really hope you enjoy all the entries.

Very nice.<BR/><BR/>I wrote about homeschooling and the Carnival today on the BlogHer site (<A HREF="http://blogher.org/node/5653" REL="nofollow">http://blogher.org/node/5653</A>). I invite you to come by and leave a comment. There's some discussion about homeschooling, but the general attitude is that it's a good thing and makes for happier kids. Your insight would be appreciated, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post. Hope you have a great summer planned!Mary Tsaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15062516568965811085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23087312.post-1148422080260070172006-05-23T15:08:00.260-07:002006-05-23T15:08:00.260-07:00Cardinal Fang---<BR/><BR/>That is a great suggestion and I'll bring it up with the owners (Why Homeschooling). I apologize...perhaps this has something to do with my remarkably slow connection or my pop up blockers or something, but nothing brought up music as I was going through the posts. It never would have occured to me to do this, anyway, but I don't know which they are either!Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07363108115499781703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23087312.post-1148416457228473022006-05-23T13:34:17.230-07:002006-05-23T13:34:17.230-07:00Wonderfully organized. Just one little quibble- could you warn us about links that include music? I brought up a few windows to read some entries, and one of them included music. I don't like sites that choose my music for me, and anyway I was listening to something else, so I wanted to get rid of the offender. I couldn't figure out which one it was!<BR/><BR/>I hope that sites that play music unasked will reconsider that choice. There are a lot of reasons that we might want to keep our browsing silent: baby's sleeping, older child studying, college student doing a timed exam.Cardinal Fangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23087312.post-1148405545261081942006-05-23T10:32:25.260-07:002006-05-23T10:32:25.260-07:00You did a beautiful job on this, Dana!
