Time Search is a good general resource for history teachers and students. Simply enter a year, press "go" and you're shown a list of significant events that happened in that year. Scroll up or down the list to see events that happened early or late in the year. Time Search lists events that happened worldwide. You can select historical themes to narrow your list of events. You can also narrow results by selecting a region of the world. Next to each item in your events list you will see icons indicating availability of related images, quick text references, and map references. Not all icons appear for all events

Think-Pair-Share is a strategy designed to provide students with "food for thought" on a given topics enabling them to formulate individual ideas and share these ideas with another student. It is a learning strategy developed by Lyman and associates to encourage student classroom participation. What is Think, Pair, Share? Think-Pair-Share is a strategy designed to provide students with "food for thought" on a given topics enabling them to formulate individual ideas and share these ideas with another student. It is a learning strategy developed by Lyman and associates to encourage student classroom participation. Rather than using a basic recitation method in which a teacher poses a question and one student offers a response, Think-Pair-Share encourages a high degree of pupil response and can help keep students on task. What is its purpose? * Providing "think time" increases quality of student responses. * Students become actively involved in thinking about the concepts presented in the lesson. * Research tells us that we need time to mentally "chew over" new ideas in order to store them in memory. When teachers present too much information all at once, much of that information is lost. If we give students time to "think-pair-share" throughout the lesson, more of the critical information is retained. * When students talk over new ideas, they are forced to make sense of those new ideas in terms of their prior knowledge. Their misunderstandings about the topic are often revealed (and resolved) during this discussion stage. * Students are more willing to participate since they don't feel the peer pressure involved in responding in front of the whole class. * Think-Pair-Share is easy to use on the spur of the moment. * Easy to use in large classes. How can I do it? * With students seated in teams of 4, have them number them from 1 to 4. * Announce a discussion topic or problem to solve. (Example: Which room in our school is larg

"dotSUB is the world's leading solution for creating, translating, and rendering multiple language subtitles for videos across all platforms."

DotSub is mostly for collaboratively translating excellent videos into multiple languages, but the end result is that you get subtitled videos!  Here's an example - a collection of the "in plain English" videos embedded into this wiki page: https://confluence.delhi.edu/x/IwBiB Each one has a dropdown where you can select the subtitling language to display:Note that not all languages for each video are complete. It shows the percentage that is complete next to each language in the dropdown. Then, if you know a certain language, you can contribute by adding subtitles to a portion of the video... Very cool site!

Radbox works through a simple bookmarklet that you click whenever you're on a page with a video you want to save. The basic compatibility list reads "YouTube, Vimeo, Metacafe, DailyMotion, CollegeHumor, Hulu, Blip.tv, Megavideo, TED, etc." In my own testing, I liked the way Radbox lined up and played my selected videos with a note about when I saved them, but found that, about half the time, I'd need to click on a video and bring it up on its original site (i.e. click embedded YouTube clips and view them on YouTube) to ensure the Radbox bookmarklet picked up the video for sure. Radbox is a free service, requires a quick sign-up to use

I am trying to count cells based on multiple criteria from multiple cell ranges using google docs.  In Excel the formula is simply: =COUNTIFS(S2:S26, "IN", E2:E26, "A") This would select all of the cells with the word "IN" and the Letter "A" in the same corresponding row.  Can anyone help me figure out a workaround for not being able to use the "countifs" function in google spreadsheet?
