Reviews of Inspire! Youth Series

“The Inspire! Youth Series program are just that, complete easy to use multimedia tools for team building and group activities. I have had the pleasure of working with this CD-ROM program that gives you information, directions and actual footage of 20 games and activities. Wow! What a great concept. You can actually view the activities in action. It is a virtual workshop that you can use at any time. This program would be great for the Physical Education Specialist to organizers involved in youth-group programs (faculty, scouts, church, student councils). Anyone involved in student activities promoting team building and team development would benefit from this innovative instructional program.” Catherine Altenburg, 2002 Southwest District Elementary Physical Education Teacher of the Year

“Learning initiatives in The Inspire! Youth Series provide a valuable context for students of all ages to display, practice and reflect habits of mind. Educators who use these initiatives as teaching tools are able to find explicit connections to academic curricula, personal and physical growth and team dynamics. Authentic education embraces each of these aspects, and initiatives are often the bridge that connects them.

“The Inspire! Youth Series has opened teachers’ eyes to the use of learning initiatives in their classroom. The software is extremely user-friendly and provide a three-dimensional perspective of each featured initiative. This archive is accessible…and tons of fun. These CD sets are permanent resources in my workshops and sessions.” Andy Mink, Director of Outreach and Education
