Dear Angela,
We regret that the videos cannot be enlarged for full-screen viewing.
Meaningful, accessible and applicable

The piece is a substantive and comprehensive presentation of an intriguing concept. I am particularly interested in how implementing emotional learning creates a documented physiological change in the brain.
On a technical note, it seems that I am not able to enlarge the image for a full-screen presentation in order to share it with my class. Am I missing a feature or is this the design of the video elements?
Thanks for a great resource.
Findings from neuroscience

Thanks for some exciting new information! Hopefully, the findings from neuroscience will convince school administrators who previously regarded social-emotional learning as an 'add-on' that's 'nice if you have the extra time for it' that these learning experiences are, in fact, some of the most critical experiences our students need in order to lay a strong foundation for all the complex learning we hope will occur in our schools and in our communities, including students' academic achievements.

I am enjoying your website, the content, both written and filmed, and I am excited to know that you are empowering people this way. Among other things, I teach skills for personal development (http://vivation.com), and I am very much enjoying the work that neuroscientist Richard Davidson is sharing on your site.
