The Storm

We hope that all those affected by the massive storm that hit the eastern U.S. last night are safe.

Due to major power outages in New York City, where our email servers are based, we are presently without email service. Therefore, if you have emailed us with a question, we apologize for not being able to respond promptly.  We are still available on the phone at 888-242-0563 and we'll be here until 6pm EST today to answer any questions you may have.  

Coming Soon - Pups of Liberty

We've had a number of teachers contact us recently looking for DVDs that are appropriate for elementary students in grades K-4.  Until now we've mainly focused on producing videos for middle and high school students.  That's about to change.

In December we will be releasing our first DVD produced specifically for the lower grades.  It is called Pups of Liberty: The Boston Tea-Bone Party.  This short animated film tells the story of the Boston Tea Party, but with the real people of history portrayed by cats and dogs.  It's a great way to teach young students about the ideas and events that led to the founding of the United States.  Along with the DVD we'll also have a new section on our website called izzitKIDS which will include interactive features for students.

After this initial release, if there is a good response, we're hoping to begin producing more videos like this one.  So make sure to tell all your friends and colleagues who teach in elementary schools to check out izzit.org in December!

Teaching Resources

Did you know that on our website we list additional resources for all of our DVDs?

On the right side of each DVD's page there is a "Teaching Resources" tab that includes links to websites, videos, and articles that can provide you with more information on the video's topic or be additional resources for your lesson.  

Check it out the next time you use one of our DVDs in class!

New DVD! - The Paradox of Progress

We've just released our 3rd new DVD of the year, The Paradox of Progress.  This teaching unit examines the idea of "creative destruction," focusing on how FedEx has innovated and changed the way people send things.  It is a great DVD for teaching Business, Economics, and Technology.  

Here's a sample of what you'll see:
