Captioning this video?
Would you consider adding this great video to your YouTube channel, so that it could be captioned in English for deaf users - and maybe subtitled in other languages for people who don't know English - with http://www.universalsubtitles.org, e.g.?

Today it is amazing what children can learn in the classroom. I have been working with children before they are school age and it will be incredible what they will be able to learn in their years to come ahead.
How different things are today for our children than they were when we were younger. Hooray for technology!
