      About our Site

      Thank you very much for visiting our website. We appreciate it, because it makes us feel like our homework is being used for something useful. We would like to give you some recommendations if you are working on a research project. Please check the spelling of all names. We wrote the names down while watching the videos, and many were not spelled out in the series, so the spelling of some could be incorrect. Also, there is much more information in the video series than we could possibly present to you for a school project. We encourage any people doing research to watch the series. Also, we had trouble finding internet sources, so try searching a media database such as EBSCOHost or look in your library. If you're looking for images, we can't really help you at all because we couldn't find any. If you need them bad, find some digital video hardware, the videos, and a computer person. Have a nice day.
