Boycott The Use of Educational Video With No Subtitles or Closed Captions
Educational Video Without Subtitles or Captions Fails To Provide Equal Access for all Children
We live in a time where now more than 94% of teachers use video as an important educational video resource in the classroom.
As a result a host of services now attempt to provide online educational video to satisfy that growing demand. However with the exception of only two companies, they all conveniently ignore the fact that providing educational video without the essential availability of subtitles or captions, fails to provide equal access for all children. And it’s all because of cost …it simply costs too much.
The power of Visual Learning is beyond doubt, but the use of captions and subtitles on Educational Video is regarded as essential for:
- The Deaf and hearing impaired students.
- Improving comprehension for struggling readers.
- Improving literacy for children with learning disabilities and Special Needs.
- Enabling all children to improve Reading and Literacy skills.
- When combined with the audio visual nature of video they provides for the widest range of Learning styles.
- Providing language benefits for students learning English as a Second Language
They are so important that the company Zane Education recognises the use of subtitles and captions on educational video as The Missing Piece.
Even the law now recognises and demands the use of subtitles and captions on video.

The Best Bagel Recipe Ever !
Say Goodbye to Bagel Recipes that Don’t Work. THIS BAGEL RECIPE WILL
Once you have discovered the taste and texture of a REAL bagel, there is no going back.
Most of what is sold in supermarkets and stores and is mass produced as a Bagel, is nothing whatsover like the real thing.
So after having been introduced to the real thing many years ago, I became sick and tired of making do with the ‘imposter’ bagel – or the Bagel that was nothing more than just another bfread roll, I decided to learn how to make my own. I spent 6 months buying whatever cooking and baking books I could find with all types of Bagel recipes, but without exception – they were all failures that would not produce the REAL Bagel, no matter how closely I followed each recipe and set of instructions.
I finally found the right recipe that worked for me and produced the REAL Bagel after more than 9 months searching. Yes, there is a little bit or worked involved, but if you are a true Bagel lover, then what I am about to share with you is the next best thing to a treasure map. Follow the instructions as carefully as you can and you will reap the rewards. I have decided to share this on our Blog due the the number of requests I received.
