Customer Reviews
Great for Teaching
I've begun using CNN Heroes video podcasts in my lesson plans for Middle school age students. I highly recommend teachers consider how they may use the CNN Heroes segment in their lessons on Character, Citizenship and individual subject areas. Parents may want to take the time to review these for discussion with their children. If your child has a major interest in iTunes and the iPOD this is a way for you to "break into their world" if you are having trouble.
