Story Time from Space: Videos as a Resource Anytime
The Global Space Education Foundation Experience project, Story Time from Space, sends great story time books into space that are then read by astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS)! These experiences are captured on videos and produced with a split screen that include a close-up view of the book so that those watching can easily see the page of the book being read as well as the astronaut.
