[IAEP] Etoys Videos for Khan Academy

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi Again,
Someone posted a link to where they are being translated into Spanish. Maybe they will read this and post it again.  I didn't get a chance to check it out because it came when I was traveling.  I don't know if they used subtitles or created a new soundtrack. The latter would seem to be preferable. It wouldn't distract from the writing and it doesn't depend on the learner being able to read.
