This looks really cool. Do you think this would be above the head of my 7th grader?

I think McCullough is pretty accessible. It says grades 6-12. I'm making my 7th grade son watch it. :D

The lecture was terrific--the interactive chat was an unfortunate distraction for my son.

Well, how was it? I was unable to get it to stream. Is there anyway to watch it after the fact?
