wbgh: a night on a coral reef

I watched the video about the coral reef on the 9 thorough 12 section. the video is a documentary on the animals that live on and in the coral reef. it also describes what forms a coral reef and that the shelter attracts the fish to stay there.

In education visual learning is a very useful tool. some kids learn better by watching things in action or being shown how to perform a task. Now that i tunes has put podcast like this one up for anyone to download it opens a whole new world of topics that teachers can teach and have some visual references to back up the things they are teaching to the students.

Videos like these were very educational as i came through grade school. i remember watching videos like this one in several different classes and they helped me to develop the knowledge base that i have to day. this video has proabley already introduced kids to things they have never heard of before
