Please pardon the cross-posting.

Happy first day of November.

Gale added "nearly 600 high-quality educational videos on concepts essential to STEM learning;" each video is one to three minutes long. They also "added a new feature that allows users to increase the font size for all documents" and made the default font size larger. Additionally, the Gale to Google and Gale to Microsoft Office 365 integrations are available in Kids InfoBits.

For details and screenshots, see the Gale blog posting: http://blog.gale.com/product-update-exciting-video-additions-and-increased-text-size-to-kids-infobits/.

Thanks,
Jen
