Operation Homecoming - Writing the Wartime Experience
$11.97

About this product:
This pioneering film illuminates the extraordinary experiences of American servicemen and women through their own powerful stories. Based on the acclaimed NEA-sponsored book of the same name, this eloquent and moving (Entertainment Weekly) film offers a profound look at the lives of those serving in America s armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Distinguished actors like Robert Duvall, Beau Bridges and Aaron Eckhart give voice to the poems, stories, essays, letters, and journal entries of people on the frontlines. Weaving these dramatic readings with interviews with their authors, OPERATION HOMECOMING transforms the written word into a living, breathing look at the human side of America s current military conflicts. An honest and intensely personal look at war through firsthand accounts, this groundbreaking documentary adds depth to individual experiences by looking at them within the context of the long and venerable tradition of war writing. By turns poetic, comic, and chilling (Variety), this film gives voice to those heroes who have served and wish to share their experiences with the world.

DVD Features: Deleted Interview Clips; Poetry Reading; Men in Black Illustrated Storyboard; Making of the Short Film Featurette; Theatrical Trailer; 5.1 Sound

Dyslexia and Writing Challenges in Gifted Children
$24.95

About this product:
Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide, experts in the fields of gifted education and learning differences, presented this 2 1/2 hour Live Webinar for an international audience of parents, teachers, psychologists, and other professionals working with Gifted and Twice Exceptional Children.

Gifted Dyslexics are a remarkably talented group of individuals who may be misunderstood and under-identified in conventional educational or gifted educational systems. Often they are recognized as bright, but underachieving or misdiagnosed with ADD. Many gifted dyslexics miss being identified because their reading comprehension score are high although individual word decoding is hard and spelling and writing are effortful.

The Eides explain why students are "stealth dyslexics" whose dyslexic challenges and gifted abilities fly under the radar of detection. In this webinar, they discuss how dyslexia presents differently in gifted children, what accommodations are necessary at different levels of education (K-college), how giftedness and dyslexia tends to present in families, and most importantly how positive talents can be recognized and developed.

Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide conclude the conference discussing Dysgraphia and Writing Challenges in Gifted Students, including topics such as the causes and different types of writing challenges and effective approaches to overcoming these writing struggles.

The conference concludes with a highly engaging and informative question and answer session with the audience. The DVD consists of the Powerpoint sessions with audio and the question and answer session that followed.

Praise for the Eides' Gifted / 2E Webinars:

"Exceptionally good! Bravo!!!"

"That was by far one of the best presentations I've ever heard --
whether in person or by webinar. The information was extremely informative and timely. It means so much to have your intuition validated by the research and experts in the field. Finally, someone
addressing written expression. Finally, someone addressing stealth dyslexics"!

"Outstanding!!

DVD
America at a Crossroads: Operation Homecoming - Writing the Wartime Experience (Edited for TV)
$13.93

About this product:
It's weird, most of the documentaries I've seen just don't nail the experience of being apart of the military but this one hit home for me. I was in the Army at the time the 2nd Iraq war started but never was sent to battle zone I was apart of a training post and they kept us there to train the troops going in. In a way I was the lucky one.

If you ever want to explain to someone what it's like to be in the military and what it feels like this is a good way to do it. It shows the ultimate decisions a solider may have to make after signing on the dotted line and what parts of the job make it so demanding. It shows the person what life could be like for them as a soldier. It doesn't church it up either way good or bad it's just reality.

Not, only was it well written but PBS just has some amazing people working for them now, because the way it was shot is breathtaking.

If you have someone who wants to join the military have them watch this video...not to scare them...but to give them a glimpse of what is possible. It will help open their eyes and their mind. I'll also say there is a very good life in the military but it comes with risk and luck playing a factor.

In closing if you were in the military, you'll love this video and you'll love showing it to your friends and family.

Pray for our Troops and their safe return and
pray for our Leaders and their tough decisions.
