The above video is a link to TeacherTube and its accessories. It would be a great learning tool for the aid of young children when preparing to take the VA History SOL.

This video is also based off of the VA History SOL and the two paired together would be great if used in a Jeopardy syle learing environment. It could be used as a type of visual learning aid. Both videos provide the visual and auditory portions of study mechanisms that help in studying. They would be great for young classrooms! :)
