5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Video, August 9, 2010

This review is from: Modern Marvels: Mad Electricity (DVD)

I recently watched this video on the History Channel. Thought it would be a great addition for a unit on electricity that I teach to 8th graders. Tesla was a very smart man though a little odd. The only part I don't like about this video is when they show the elephant being electrocuted. It's only a short piece and I plan on fast forwarding that section when I show the video to my students. That piece really wasn't necessary. Even though I will skip that part I'm not sure if I will expand upon why I skipped it or not. It's gross and inhumane. However, it does provide some valuable learning if approached properly.

I'll make this review quite short but hopefully effective. This is one of the BEST DVD'S I've watched in years ! - - - and I'm not easy to please ! It's only approx. 47 minutes long, and TOTALLY interesting the entire time. How many DVD's (on any subject) can you say that about ? I even purchased 3 more and sent it to 3 other people (and I'm not rich) - - - it just THAT GOOD ! People need to know about Nikola Tesla, and all his contributions. A definite 5 Stars in my opinion.

I TEACH AT A LOCAL COLLEGE IN THE AREA OF ELECTRICITY, POWER DISTRIBUTION, SOLAR AND WIND ENERGY AND THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INTRO DVD TO SET THE STAGE FOR WHY THE MATERIAL THEY ARE LEARNING IS IMPORTANT. IT IS WELL DONE AND HOLDS THEIR ATTENTION. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE ORIGINS OF OUR CURRENT TECHNOLOGY.
