2009-2010 STUDENT VIDEO REVIEWS

Included here are short video reviews of each of the 2009-2010 Iowa Children's Choice nominated titles. There is also a version of the reviews edited together into one 17-minute video. This version is available to check out from your local AEA as a DVD. The files on the website are hosted on the video hosting site TeacherTube (educational use "YouTube-like" website) so if your school blocks your access to this site you may want to ask your web administrator if the filter can be bypassed or check out the DVD from your local AEA.

 

The reviews were written by third through sixth grade students but they would like to point out that they were filmed at the end of the previous school year so they are actually one grade higher than some of them indicate in their introduction!

All nominated titles in one long video!
