visually impaired

I am enrolled in a master class dealing with special education. My team has been assisgned teaching visually imapaired students. The video from the Boston Latin School would be an excellent venue to show the class the latest teaching techniques. I would like to show it in class . Does anyone know how I can obtain a dvd of this clip. It says that you can download it from Itunes but I don't have an IPOD. Any ideas ?

Thank you

Hey Jonathan,

Thanks for your comment.

Anything you download from itunes can be played on your computer (of course, you need to use itunes to download it and to play it), you don't need an ipod.
If you click on the "Download" link below the video, you will see that in addition to the link to itunes, you can also click the link to download the itunes program to your computer.

Downloaded videos are designed to play on all computers and PDAs and are most appropriate for personal or small group viewing.
