TABS in addition to all of THen's great suggestions I just wanted to bring up a few points.

Are you trying to go chronologically through the bible or choose the most influential people first and then moving to less influential? What I would do is choose 10 magnitudes of intelligence moving from easiest/most accessible to children and then moving on to more complex. (i.e. roughly when they were born and died (maybe even they were born at the same time as...(some other famous person)), where they were born, other important bible characters they were related to and how/why, important events they took part in, books of the bible they are mentioned in). Because each character is so different you might only come up with 5 consistent magnitudes and then fill in the remaining 5 with points you find interesting about that particular person. Hope that helps, let me know if I can be of more assistance.

I have a couple more... but havent uploaded all of them so I have to double check which ones have POIs.... hope this helps though to get everyone started

I would love to do this too weekly... but need a couple weeks before I can get started... both  kids are sick and my husband is off of work with a hairline fractured disk since Friday. (he cant pick up the kids and is in bed for a while)  So I dont want to commite to something then not follow through but I would love to add some POIs  and get some too    Thanks. 

[linzy]

No problem THen. I know how the time can sneak past.  By the way I made a slide show using the software you suggested and it worked great.  It looked like something you'd buy and I even added background music.  Thanks again.

Mandi, we'd love to have you join us.  What category would you be interested in?  I saw your files, the geography from famous places had POIs but I didn't see them for the top ten most populous countries, was I missing something?

[heath]

Yeah... I am back.  I had some issues with my laptop.  Now it's all fixed and working.  I have loaded 4 music files for all the weeks that I missed.  Including this weeks file.  Sorry for the delay. 

[linzy]

Don't worry about it Heath it happens to everyone.  It's good to see you back

[THen]

Wow, heath, I'm just impressed you got all that done, even with laptop problems.

Hi there everyone, 

You guys are doing a great job!!!

Well, I am back to ask a few things.  I have tried to do Bible Characters as POI's but can't seem to get what I want.  What do you think if I do them as BIT's?  In this way there is no restriction on how many can be done and if the magnitudes are not followed exactly, it won't matter so much.  And those that prefer POIs could quickly compile from the Pronounciations, a list of 10 that they feel they'd like to teach their child.  Another reason - in fact the main reason really - for doing it this way, is because I'd like to include for my son the scriptural referance for each bit of information.  As everyone has their own translation of the Bible, I would not include this in the download but would give the references so that should you wish to, these could be read into the Picture Audio.  Also I would not include pictures as everyone has their own Bible literature and am sure there must be places on the Internet where you could get Biblical pictures.   I had thought too that the shorter facts could be used as sentences in their reading program, in that way they would recognise the names, Adam, Eve etc.   Would love to hear your thoughts and comments.

Hi TABS!

Personally, I would be happy with anything you put together.      If you do put audio (or pictures) in for your son, I would like it, even if it is in a different translation.  I can always edit it if I want to.  Whatever you choose to do, I'll be greatful for you sharing.   

I think most of us have been doing printable POIs, so we've not worried about audio.
