New! Movie Clips on CD ROM

These Quicktime movie files are large enough to display to an audience in a lecture hall (most are 640 x 480 pixils). They are the same clips included in Multimedia Toolkit for Educators in the Plant Sciences, but larger. Purchasers may copy and use these clips however they choose except they may not be included in a copyrighted work without permission. With th epurchase of Multimedia Toolkit for Educators in the Plant Sciences (both volumes), these may be purchased for $20.00 each. If purchased alone the cost is $40.00 each.
