You can easily insert the videos you have discovered into pages on your own wiki, or on my wiki pages if I give you permission, which I already have done. Test this now by adding a video on health to the Lesson Two Sustainable Families Practice Page. Click the EDIT tab at the top of the page, and then select Insert, Video, and be sure to click on SAVE at the bottom when done. Experiment to see what you can teach yourself, and ask questions of your instructor as necessary.
