Nice Glog Jeff. The 'Napoleon eats ice cream' video is a nice touch. He is such an interesting character to study because I always wonder how he gained so much power so quickly. I think it is a similar situation to how Hitler and Stalin came to power, not that Napoleon should necessarily be classified with those two, but they all did rise to power in fascinating ways. Like the stars aligned just right at the right time to allow them to take the reigns of their struggling countries.
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure...classy. Also great audio clip, you could really have a future in voice-over work. This glog really seems like a great way to teach kids about a topic in history.
Good layout and use of video. It's always more difficult to find good media examples from the distant past. Like the ice cream video, especially the well crafted belch! :-)
