This is a DVD with information on all 44 presidents of the United
States, from George Washington to Barack Obama. There are various
interactive ways of learning about the presidents. The main page
has pictures of all of them in order. You can click on a picture
to learn information about each president. You can click on "name
tags" to see names presented in the top left hand corner;
then you drag them to the correct picture. The next self-quizzing
option is a list of names that you drag them into the correct order.
Following that is a screen with 44 boxes, numbered 1 to 44. As
the pictures appear at the top left-hand corner of the screen,
you drag them into the correct numbered box.
Quizzes are also available on the informational part. The categories
are Trivia, Money, Presidential First, Presidential Deaths, Who
Am I?, Crossword Puzzle, and Word Search. There is no sound with
this DVD. There is also a Wars Timeline and an Inventions Timeline
to help put various historical events into perspective in relation
to a President's term.
This is a fun way to learn the presidents. I will be utilizing
it as I teach American history and government, both with my high
school student and my elementary-aged student. I recommend this
to all homeschoolers that are learning about the Presidents. This
DVD sells for $15 on the company's website.
