Hi Sarah,
Very nice. If I might give a suggestion, that would be: Show the clip twice - first like it is, second, with subtitles. It would help elementary students and clear doubts on pronunciation.
Here in Brazil, students are used to listening to American pronunciation so sometimes they don't understand when the accent is different.
:-))

Yes, that's right, present continuous and present progressive are the same thing. Good point ... I'm going to put a note in the description.

A lot of those pictures look familiar :]. Like the one where they inducted the stick into the toy hall of fame or w/e. Very interesting, and in many other languages as MyMyMichael stated, they call it the present progressive. It's probably the difference in UK, US And New Zealand english at work here.

I have heard of this, and perhaps you have also, though under a different name. In Spanish (my second language) "Present Continuous" is called "Present Progressive" (PrP), as opposed to "Past Progressive" (PaP), and "Future Progressive" (FuP).
PrP: Estoy mirando la televisión. (I am watching television.)
PaP: El estaba bailando. (He was dancing.)
FuP: Ellos estarán bailando. (They will be dancing.)
Sarah, this is fantastic instruction for ALL ESL courses ... I'm smiling.

Present continuous? Haven't heard of that one, and I've taken Latin, French, and German. Thought I had heard of every possible tense. Interesting.
This is excellent work. Hope you don't mind if I embed it in a 'glog' I'm making for the Grammarman website.
