Here is a post that looks extremely fun and awesome for researchers and kids. Crittercams are small cameras attached to animals in the wild in order for researchers to see animal behavior they would normally not see. However, the Crittercam Chronicles is rather disappointing because it really only offers mediocre virtual interactives rather than offering the real time viewing of Crittercam experiences. I have to admit, I don't usually get a kick out of animal studies, but I am curious about hidden animal behavior and I don't want to have to purchase a Crittercam movie in order to see the potential of this research method. Thus, when I clicked on this post, excited to see critters gone wild, I was let down by National Geographic articles and virtual tours for which even kids would find limited in entertainment value. Furthermore, although it pertains to researchers as well, the post is not very effective in being both child-friendly and scientifically legitimate. So until this Interactive Narrative shows live footage of a penguin with a camera strapped to its back, I will be, sadly, uninterested.
