The creators of the massive work in progress known as the Animated Kid’s Bible are leaving no stone unturned by issuing interactive teaching DVD’s to go hand in hand with the series that is being released. These teaching tools help educators and parents make the most of the material that is being shown, with prompts that indicate when questions should be asked of the class.
Furthermore this type of interactive educational support saves educators a great deal of time and work as the questions and quizzes have already been written and the teacher is already supplied with onscreen answers.
Even better, the Animation Kid’s Bible Interactive Teaching DVDs can be used by parents and other relatives as a way of home schooling children in the lessons of the Bible. There are even specific versions of these DVDs made for home education that are slightly different than the ones used for educational purposes. The convenience of using The Home Education Version is that, unlike viewing a movie, you do not have to use replay, rewind or search functions, as the entire lesson has already been organized for you and your children to operate.
Aside from questions and quizzes about what they have just seen in the videos, the creators of the Animated Kid’s Bible have also created songs about the Bible that can be taught to them after seeing the movie. This is a clever idea as rhyming has been used for years to help children retain facts. Singing definitely has its place in the history of Christian spirituality and here the joyous practice is applied with the dual purpose of elevating the mood of the class as well as having them enjoy learning about the Bible. The lyrics are catchy and tunes are memorable.
The DVDs also contain Special Features which includes a Genealogy, a Fact File showing historical facts about the culture and customs of the time as well as an explanation of how those details relate to us in the present and the Music Video.
You can purchase the interactive or home education teaching DVDs in a full set or one at a time. For many the latter is a more economical option as you can spread out the cost of owning the DVDs month by month. This however, does cost slightly more than purchasing the complete set.
Each single video contains about 120 minutes of video that includes the 23-minute dramatic 3D computer generated animation of a different episode in the Bible. The rest of the digital footage is devoted to helping you as a parent or a teacher aid your students in the process of remembering and retaining the Christian values taught by the stories in this beautiful animated Bible.
