I thought to share something my husband's Grandfather used to say about education in general and I find it especially applicable to early learning in particular:

"Think of schooling and training like a pot of popcorn! When you make popcorn you pour oil in the pot, put it on the stove, and then pour the kernels in the pan. Even with the fire on, nothing happens right away, and you may wonder whether the kernels are any good, but from experience you know that once they're heated up just right they're going to pop. You shake the pot to make sure the kernels are evenly heated, and then you wait to hear the first pop.

At first only a few kernels pop, but within a few minutes they all start popping. Those little kernels of corn in the pot have popped and expanded until they fill the entire pot!

That what happens when you teaching and training your little ones. Just wait and see when it all starts "popping" 

Kl,

Yes yes I have uninstall ffdshow an reinstall it as instructed. It didnt make a difference.

Thanks, I've uploaded my .cat file.  The file name is "Diere - Afrika - Enkelvoud & Meervoud - 001.cat", I'm attaching a screenshot of what the category should look like & also a screenshot of the import options screen when I'm importing my category back in.

Is this the one that you were looking for?

[great materials]

Would be great if you will share the Creationism bits with all of us, Mandy!

I know for teens, there are great materials on http://www.drdino.com/, because I used those materials to teach Creation vs Evolution classes. ( There are videos, seminars, classes, workbook, also great section with questions and answers, with lots of links to scientific evidence, which is great for teaching)

We also teach Creationism, it is very easy, simple, explainable, straight from the Bible and supported by scientific evidence. No need to come up with theories for everything, like in Evolution theory  , just to teach the kid next year that those theories were disproofed 

Some fun parts can be taken also from this awesome documentary "The Priviledged Planet" http://www.privilegedplanet.com/  It is not made for kids ( very good for teens and adults), but some facts and POI can be taken from there for teaching younger children, I think ( I am planning to do it in a little while, but not for the next few months just yet  )

And this is another good documentary http://www.illustramedia.com/cfacinfo.htm , by Lee Strobel by Illustra Media

In any case, will be great if you can share the bits that you have created! K2U!

That is a brilliant question and since I am a Christian, I don't teach evolution to my son at all. Instead I teach creationism, directly from the bible. It makes sense, especially since Darwin has been disproved, I want to teach my child what I believe to be correct. If you are looking for a fantastic series, or you want some bits on creationism, google Ken Ham. He has made books for kids. If you want bits, I changed the books into bits and would be happy to share them with you. It is taught it a factual, scientific way using Genesis as the basic foundation.
