Hyperlapse from Instagram, a new app to capture high-quality time lapse videos even while in motion. Traditionally, time lapse videos depend on holding your phone or camera still while you film. Hyperlapse from Instagram features built-in stabilization technology that lets you create moving, handheld time lapses that result in a cinematic look, quality and feel-a feat that has previously only been possible with expensive equipment.

A retired teacher, Bob Greenberg, has been going around the country over the last year interviewing some of the important thought leaders, as well as local teachers and students, about education topics.

This is a great channel on Youtube for teachers to use. The groups that create these videos take popular songs and rewrite them in order to teach students about different time periods or events in world history. This can be used as a great intro or ending video clip, or as a brain break. Beware- some songs are very catchy and can get stuck in you head. =)

I recently signed up for a free trial of this site. It has some really great videos for all subject areas! The kids found them informative and entertaining because of the little cartoon graphics. Now to cancel before they charge me $50! 

This is a great website with so many science activities, games, and videos.

How do I use Google Scholar to find scholarly articles that I canaccess for free? New! Learn how to find free, full-text articles with Google Scholar in a simple video tutorial! Google Scholar is a specialized search engine which looks much like Google web search, but searches only for scholarly articles and books. The search results list from a Google Scholar search will list citations for articles, and may provide links to free or fee-based full-text articles. Sometimes, a link to find the full-text article using D'Amour Library subscriptions will appear in a citation as well; this feature is only available when searching Google Scholar from the campus network of Western New England University.

I just recently learned about this search and shared it with family members. I am surprised I haven't heard of others talking about it, as I would think this search would cut down on wasted search-time.

This Marketing video for a high school outside of Boston really hits home. This school is located outside of Boston and truly shows the lighter side in advertising.
