Hi Pooja,

Thanks for your inquiry.  Here's some sample DSH material.

Samples from Lucknow:

http://pnet.cs.washington.edu/cgi-bin/DisplaySelection.py?objstr=R764MJ8KRQULLO7NH86S%231

Samples from Bangalore:

http://pnet.cs.washington.edu/cgi-bin/DisplaySelection.py?objstr=CM0AB7WSYQKMR5ZL4VUO%231

On each of these pages, you will see links to more categories of
things, among which are one thing you asked for in
particular---collections of example videos of how our materials are
being used in village schools.  (We call the methodology "mediation.")

There's a lot of other things in addition to the two above sample
links.  For example, we have quite a bit of stuff from Pune and
Calcutta, which you can see by typing in "pune" or "calcutta" into the
key word search box on:

http://pnet.cs.washington.edu

You may also want to look at the instruction on this page about how to
access the videos.  (Advice concerning the "XviD codec," or a
"download manager," for example.)

If you haven't seen it yet, the following writeup might be helpful:

In a couple months, we'll publish a preliminary evaluation report of a
small set of pilot schools.  We'd be happy to share any/all of our
stuff with you, and we'd be happy to take yours as well, particularly
if you guys crank out a lot more stuff :)

Cheers,
Randy
