Ruth Smith Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi! The new teaching company DVDs make this sound great. Does anyone have any experience with this? Linwood Thompson teaches the classes. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharonTennessee Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 We just finished watching the first lecture in the course. It was the one about the Vikings and early inhabitants which isn't my favorite topic, but he did a great job. He was dressed as a Viking and presented just a ton of information presented in storytelling fashion. We're looking forward to the other lessons.

Stephanie/MO Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Thumbs up here! They are great for the entire family. Not exactly Saturday night at the movies, but still..... They are worth the money, IMO. Blessings, Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne/Ankara Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 We liked his lectures too-- we watched both series by him, and they were a bit cheesy but fun to watch. Not too dry, certainly! This was the series that really started us watching other Teaching Company videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Does anyone have any experience with this? Linwood Thompson teaches the classes. My Thompson *World* History tapes are high school level and, yes, they are cheesy but also entertaining and education. Teaching Co. should also have a U.S. History set for the college/adult level if you'd prefer a more advanced presentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
