Vic Learning abour camels from a Digital Photo Frame

Ok, so this isn't technically about internet marketing but seeing as I'm in the training business
and you're never too old or too young to learn, I thought I'd share an idea that occured to me whilst
in John Lewis today.

My son at 14 months old has a mobile above his cot to help him sleep. I was thinking about
ways of putting a laptop or something next to it so that I could make up Powerpoint
presentations with music in the background, so that whilst he was going to sleep, he
could see pictures of people and everyday objects and hear the sounds as well
as having the text appear on the screen.(I'm convinced some of it will go
in...even if he's not yet able to understand it all.)

Then the idea came to me - digital photoframes! Of course!.

After some quick checking around I bought a John Lewis own brand
one that plays multimedia files(mpeg) and has sound. It was cheap enough.

The next step was to download loads of video of nursery rhymes
and early learning stuff from YouTube - et voila! An inexpensive
way to educate Victor(my nipper) and get him to sleep.

I use AVC(any video converter) to convert the youtube clips to Mpeg
for the digital picture frame and job - done. Vic's happy as Larry.

At this rate, he'll be the next Einstein... or a couch potato!
