Children of the Code: Digital Video Files: THE JEWELS

These are the 319 "Jewels" of the Children of the Code Project. They are "clips" of the key points and most important quotes culled from over 450 hours of interviews with experts, children, and young adults. These are the same clips our own audiences praise so highly when we use them in our keynote presentations, workshops, and seminars.For those who want to avoid the clumsiness of DVDs, these files can be played directly on your computer and/or they can be easily embedded in your slideshows. And, unlike the "TV" format of DVDs, these clips have been framed and formatted for optimal viewing on computer displays and LCD projectors. (See also: COTC SEQUENCES.)
