[LM_NET] HIT: Izzit

[Sharon Hamer <shamer@HYDE.EDU>]

Here are the responses I got. Most people were positive.

We have taken them up on it for the last 4-5 years. The videos are excellent and 
the teachers who use them have all been complimentary. The company wants feedback; 
some of my teachers have all the students log-on to the web site and enter comments 
as part of their grade after watching. We've gotten the one featuring David 
Robinson, Pennies a Day, the set of 4 John Stossell videos and at least one other. 
Teachers using them at HS are home-ec, life skills, history, math...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have gotten some.  They're really free.  No hidden agenda.  Well, you then will 
receive ads for buying more of them, of course.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have received one DVD with David Robinson.  I thought it was excellent.  The only 
catch is that you have to review it on their website, a minor problem in my opinion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We've ordered from them. The DVD's were actually free, and there's been no 'catch'.
They just announced 3 new titles which I am recruiting some more of my teachers to 
order. (Only one DVD per year, per teacher) 
Hope this helps.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have their videos, and they are fine.  They have no more of an agenda than many 
of the other media offerings.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have some of their dvds. . . they're ok. . . for free. . . I don't think I would 
pay for them. . .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a few.  They are not bad.  You do have to fill out a survey after viewing 
it, but it's short and simple.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have gotten two of their videos. They are short, attention getters that I have 
been able to use in class.  They are designed for middle and highschool use but I 
have to had any problems or hang ups with them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a teacher that uses izzit and loves it.  No problems.  Even got a free dvd 
player last year.
