Dune's Island - a free video learning series

[Eric_Matyas]

Hi everyone,

If you happen to have kids (or know someone who does) here's a brand new free resource that I hope is helpful. It's a website for my video learning series, “Dune’s Island,” which aims to teach kids environmental stewardship in a really fun way through stories and characters. Within the site you can freely access all the episodes, support documentaries and even tie-in curriculum (like vocabulary, math problems, writing prompts and more.)

In the coming weeks, I’ll be expanding the site with all kinds of activities and more cool documentaries, so please be sure to bookmark it. In the meantime, any and all feedback is welcome and very much appreciated. Enjoy and stay safe.

If anyone happens to wonder what I get up to when I’m not creating music for everyone, I write and direct films that hopefully help kids (and grownups) learn important things.

Here’s a link to the page on my new site where you can freely access all of the “Dune’s Island” episodes. I’ve enabled the download function on Vimeo so you don’t even have to be online to share it with your kiddos.

Enjoy…and please feel free to share with anyone who might find it useful.

Stay safe and healthy.

This is not something I have interest in, or time for, but teaching kids about the environment is a worthy cause.
I hope it works out for you (and the kids who watch).

I did take a quick peak, lots of good photographic camera work in there!

Thanks, we think it's a very important cause and we're already receiving wonderful feedback from parents and teachers. Getting the word out is a massive challenge, though (especially for a grass-roots project like this one.) Please feel free to share it with anyone who might find it useful. Thanks in advance! :-)

I had always intended "Dune's Island" to be an immersive learning world. The idea was to produce films that teachers and home educators could actually pull lessons from to share with their students. After completing the episodes, a team of science teachers went through the films and created curriculum for grades K-5 that ties into the episodes.
