coachmac said:Dad gum......completely forgot that this was on. I have no idea if this is possible, but does anyone that recorded it have the ability to email it as an attachment and email it? I have a shortened, less dramatic version of a dust bowl film that I use in my classes during the soil science unit that I teach. I remember my great grandma mentioning how it was pretty bad across the country during that time, but the farmers really had it rough. If anyone has a clue, (I do not) on the steps to email something of that size, (if it is possible) I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

I have caught another documentary on it previously. Fascinating because it is really not that long ago and affected the area where I live. I find the people that lived in that era much resilient than people today.

It is only about 54 minutes, and fits well in a class period. It does not go into as much detail as the program last night. I have to figure out how I can incorporate this new one in my class without taking away too much lecture time! It was really good.
Shawn, the older one is on PBS (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/dustbowl/) and I have a questionnaire sheet that I made up to go with it that students need to turn in. I even make my on-line ag class watch it and do the assignment. Works well. And fits within reason for a hour long period. If you want it, let me know and I'll email it to you.
The second half shows tonight for those that missed the first part.
