It is called Adam's Synchronological Chart or Map of History and it is available at Amazon for the bargain price of 26.39! It starts with creation (Genesis) and ends with the Geneva council in 1872. It is worth every penny!!! I got one at a home school convention for $30 and it is illustrated even better than the one you have pictured.

I like it a lot. But not $900 worth of like. The people who have it listed for $900 are just selling the map, right? Not the map and a big screen TV? That map is really interesting. I like it a lot.

Our school has bought into this web site and its advice (metaphorically -- it's free), and I check for movie ratings from there when considering a movie. The reviews address the following categories: educational value, positive messages, positive role models, violence & scariness, sexy stuff, language, consumerism, and drinking, drugs & smoking. It also gives recommended ages for each movie, not just PG, PG-13, etc. I print out the Common Sense Media review for each movie my department acquires and tuck it into the DVD cover; that way if there are any questions, I can point to the review as backup.

Also "Sneakers" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" You also might want to look at the Nova documentary "Smartest Machine on Earth", which is about the computer who took on the Jeopardy champions. Might spark some of your technology application students to want to take computer science. We show “Wargames” to our 9th grade computer science class. Also “Sneakers” and “2001: A Space Odyssey”
