Ohana Debuts DVD Bundles
Edited by Walter Minkel -- School Library Journal, 5/1/2001
The Ohana Foundation, an educational foundation based in Honolulu, presents educational programming on video—and on the Web—with a twist. Ohana's products, which include K–12 educational videos on topics from the seasons to career skills, are sold on DVDs that allow teachers and librarians to present discrete classroom units that are matched to national—and soon state—standards. An initial bundle of 10 DVDs for a particular school or classroom costs $1,350, and includes one of Ohana's customized DVD players, which features an infrared wireless keyboard and can be connected to the Web. Ohana's Web site offers lesson plans and standards information for each of its disks. For more information, visit www.ohanalearning.com .
