 he
10 Quick-&-Quiet Steps to Hand Washing Success is more
than a poster hanging in the restroom facilities throughout
Prescott Early Childhood Center. It's now an instructional video
created by the students at Prescott. It comes complete with
the "Handwashing Theme" sung to the tune "Row,
Row, Row..."
Okay, pass
the soap, and let's get scrubbing. Students and parents know
that colds and viruses are spread by contact, and keeping one's
hands thoroughly clean will lessen the spread of germs that
cause illnesses. Don't think you can remember the 10 steps?
Well, the photos at right should help, and if you watch the
video a couple of times... maybe learn to sing the song, you
may be well on your way to clean hands, or perhaps a career
in medicine.

Instructions
For Those Outside of Our School Network (The General Public)
|
|
We are now providing a choice of RealPlayer applications for you to download
and install on your computer to enable you to view the video and audio
files. One is RealPlayer8 and the other is RealOne Player, which is an
excellent player with many new features. It's easy to install, so just
 follow
the on-screen steps. You will be required to register with Real.com, but
these are free software applications (there are versions you can pay for
if you choose, but they are not necessary for basic viewing and listening).
Which
Player is Best for Me?
 Of
the two types of free players available, RealPlayer 8 is the traditional
player that is free and will work beautifully to access Web based multimedia
files from our site. There is also a new player available, which is also
free, called RealONE. Either player will probably work for your operating
system. If your system is older (Windows 95, NT), however, you may want
to use the RealPlayer 8 software. If you are running a newer, faster system
like Windows 98, ME, XP, or 2000, go for the RealOne player.
Macintosh
Owners:
 You
can get a RealPlayer for Macintosh, Visit Real.com
to download their free player options. Remember, look for the FREE players.
They are sometimes difficult to find on their Web site.
Oh, and one more
thing... sometimes when you click on a sound or video file in our Web
site with the RealPlayer installed, you get a little commercial window
that pops up on your desktop. It's annoying, but a small price to pay
for the privilege of having the free RealPlayer on your system. Just click
it off, and it will disappear.
