iuniversity teacher video

On the PBS section of iuniversity there were a couple of movies that a teacher could use in their classroom. There were only a couple available and mostly science was the subject that you had to pick from. I watch the video on the sun. I never knew the sun was a dwarf star so yeah, now I do.
As for me using this in my class I would say no. The reason is because of the load time. I had to wait an unusual amount of time to get it to play and it would play for about 2 seconds before it stopped. I guess it was buffering but I really don't know because it never continued on without me doing something.
If it was more user friendly I would totally use this if it worked properly. The video about the sun was very helpful and informative. It told specifics about the sun such as the temp and the distance from the earth. Good stuff bad stuff.
