Planet Nutshell tells stories through animation. Their website provides access to videos in three areas:
* Climate Change - a series of 11 videos that explore issues in climate change including What is Climate, Too Much Carbon Dioxide and How the World can Tackle Climate Change. In addition to the series there is also a list of resources used to create the series.
* NetSafe is a series of videos that explore issues that students may experience online. The videos are divided into grade levels. There are four videos for Grade K - 3 that explore What is the Internet?, What is Personal Information?, Tell an Adult, and Be Kind Online. For Grades 4 - 6 you will find five videos including " Cyberbullies are No Fun!, Understanding Online "Friends", and Posting Pictures Online. Five videos are available for Grades 7 - 12 including How to Stop Cyberbullying, Protect Your Personal Information and Say No to "Sexting". Several other videos cover Distracted Driving, Public WiFi Network Safety and Mobile Location Privacy. These videos also allow you to download the transcript.
* A third category is Borrow Wisely that discusses FAFSA, Student Loans, and Financial Aid.
It appears that they continue to create videos for education (as well as businesses).
