    Watch Bible Movies is a website that catalogs Christian movies. According to this site all films are streamed from sources such as youtube and vimeo. The films are broken down into categories. One of the categories is Children Bible Stories. The section is sub-divided into stories from the Old Testament and stories from the New Testament.
    The quality of materials is great. This is a type of site that I have been looking to find. It is a safe site to send children to view a Bible story. Because the story is streamed, viewers are not re-directed to Youtube. If children are not monitored on Youtube, they can find themselves into places they intended not to want to be. Therefore, this is a site that Sunday school teachers can feel confident in using.
    One problem I see is the movies do not have suggested ages. At first glance, the videos appear to be for any age group. However in viewing some of the videos, I found that if you are teaching 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade, it can be somewhat advanced. Therefore, preview the videos to make sure your group will understand the vocabulary and the concepts.

    Christian Unite is a website that started as a simple web directory. One glance at the home page and you will see how it has expanded into a website that has a searchable data base. On this site you can find games, blogs, sermons, song lyrics, and so much more. The section I am interested in is the kids section, the cartoon section, and for purposes of my class - the Clipart section. The clip art section has a wide variety of Christian clip art featuring pictures of Jesus, Bible characters, and other religious clip art. This section has a disclaimer which states, "Christian images here are free for your use on web sites, newsletters, church bulletins or anywhere else you can find them useful, however redistribution is prohibited. A link to http://clipart.christiansunite.com/ would be appreciated but not mandatory if you use any of these images on a web site." I also like this site not only because it is free, but you do not have to sign up.
    In evaluating this resource, there are some aspects you should know. The clipart is divided into 34 categories which could be a problem for some using this resource. I say that because it takes awhile to search through the categories to find the perfect image you imagine. Being flexible in what you want can help mitigate this issue. The clip art can be adapted to any age group but I think that middle and high school would enjoy the images more than the small children. Hence, the reason for a time consuming search for the perfect image.
    Almost all of the clipart on this website is either a jpeg or a gif so if you plan on using them on the web there should not be a problem. Also jpeg's and gif's are relatively small in size so it won't take up much space. However, keep in mind that each time you save a jpeg it will diminish in quality.
    Overall, this can be a good repository to add to your collection. This website can be found at http://clipart.christiansunite.com/.

    Often Christian education lags behind secular education in terms of technology. Many churches are still using Sunday School books that do not go beyond the material that is in between the front and back covers. If secular education is loaded with media and technology, it is unfair to expect children to be as excited about learning the Bible if we cannot engage them with multimedia resources. There are many Christians that are doing a fantastic job teaching the Word. What they often lack is Christian resources to help equip them. I have found three resources that will help Sunday School teachers. The first resources is Free Christian Clip Art "Mini=Biblicals. The link to this site is http://freechristianillustrations.com/clipart.html . I especially like this site because there are no sign ups and they do not ask for donations. Also they have a disclaimer that states, "these illustrations may be downloaded, copied or distributed without permission as long as no cost is charged and source is recognized. The site itself is user friendly and organized so you can easily find what you are looking for. This site has lots of illustrations, ebooks for ages up to an adult, posters and bookmarks that you can download and print and clipart. I especially like the clipart section. This section is divided into Old Testament, New Testament, and some major holiday categories. This clipart can be used with any age group because what age does not like imagery. This is also a tab to take you to additional resources. The only challenge I can see is the fact there are so many illustrations to be read that it can be time consuming. This can be mitigated by reading one per week.
