I have
seen a lot of curriculum since I have been teaching, but nothing
greater than this. This CD boosted my confidence in becoming a teacher.

"What
it does is to bring science into a human context that grounds the
material for children. The challenge is that sometimes the science
is lost. In this case, it is good science in the context of one
people's culture."

"I was really impressed that the CD did not allow the science
things to interfere with the cultural things, or the cultural things
to interfere with the science. It's really well balanced. I'm looking
forward to the next productions."

"I have
found the CD ROM easy to use and easy to set up. I am quite a techno
phobe but was able to navigate my way through the set up instructions
with realitive ease. I think that the popularity of the program
with my students speaks to their opinion of it. There is a genuine
utilization of culturally relevant material to convey important
scientific principles."

"This is the only thing of its type being done. It is the best
example I've come across of excellence in education technology.

"Stereotyping is hard to break. Unfortunately, many of our
students have a Disney sense of reality. A project like Cradleboard
takes something abstract and makes it concrete.

It gives mainstream children the opportunity to see that Native
American peoples still exist. "
