We need to try this from within the DOE proxy and find out if we can copy URLs of youtube videos from a Google search index and paste them into here to download. That would be nice.

I am working with a 6th grade social studies teacher who was trying to improve his pedagogical techniques by referring to the original version of Bloom's taxonomy - I asked if he knew about the revised taxonomy and we quickly discovered this web site that explains the changes point-by-point.

Hi everyone,
Aviary is an online suite of multimedia programs. They're very similar to Photoshop, Garageband, Illustrator etc, but FREE and WEB-BASED. Basically like Google docs but multimedia creation software. Would be cool for class projects and/or students who want to experiment with media programs but don't have any installed on their computer.
