Newsy | Multisource Video News Analysis - 1 views

  •  
    Newsy.com is a multi-source online video news site that monitors, analyzes and presents the world's news coverage. In an increasingly connected world, access to multiple sources of news is in demand by global citizens. News sources are abundant yet redundant. Newsy.com delivers context with convenience to help keep you better informed. Through short video segments available on the web and mobile devices, Newsy.com offers a way to accelerate your global understanding of a news story. Newsy.com takes a step back to show how the world's news organizations are reporting a story - providing an unprecedented global and macro point of view. You'll find CNN right next to Al Jazeera, the BBC right next to ABC. Newsy.com also covers major newspapers, news magazines as well as top blogs from around the world. Like FORA.tv, this site presents current news, but with the added feature of allowing students to compare various news sources.

Amazon Storybuilder - 3 views

    This is "a free, easy-to-use screenwriting tool that helps you build stories for Movies or TV." The interface is a set of notecards on a virtual corkboard that can be moved around to create and organize a storyline. Accessible from table or smartphone as well as desktop. Additionally, there are "post-it notes" that you can stick anywhere to remind yourself where further information is needed, etc. Colorful and flexible, this is a nice graphic organizer for teens and young adults.

Designing Education - UKEdChat - 0 views

  •  
    "Many of us will have fond memories of children's TV engaging us to turn our used bottles into rockets, our wooden spoons into cartoon character puppets, and attaching googly eyes to anything which keeps still for more than 3 seconds! Schools are great at turning recycling into creativity, and design is at the heart of this. Later, the skills pupils learn turning pasta into planes and tins into trains fuel are the beginning of making the engineers and artisans of the future."

Periodic Table of Storytelling - 3 views

  •  
    If you are a fanatic of literature, tv shows, or pop culture, this "periodic table" might be a great source of inspiration. Combine the periodic elements into simple story molecules. Students might use these tropes to create their own stories or videos--and learn something about classic literature along the way.

    A really interesting site for listening practice based on current issues and news events. Has a nice non-commercial ad-free look, also. Would be useful for a culture class as well.

Jeff Matthews Is Not Making This Up - 0 views

  • People watch more than one hundred million videos on YouTube every day. Since YouTube accounted for just under half of all visits to U.S. online video sites in September, more than two hundred million videos are viewed every day on U.S. video sites, including YouTube, MySpace, Google and others. Keep that number—two hundred million a day—in mind. Now, consider that of the nearly 300 million Americans alive at this moment, roughly 15% are below the age of 10 and roughly 50% are 35 or older, which leaves some 35% of those 300 million within the prime online-video-watching age range of 10-to-35. That is something close to 100 million pairs of “eyeballs,” as they used to say during the Dot-Com Bubble. But let’s assume that at least two-thirds of those 100 million 10-to-35 year olds have better things to do than watch a video of some poor loner lip-synching “Stop! In the Name of Love” to his pet iguana. If my math is close to reality, then about one-third of those 100 million likely viewers, or 35 million, are watching those two hundred million videos a day. Which amounts to approximately seven videos per person per day.

    Matthews figures that roughly, each person in the US watches 7 videos per day -- and this is back in 2006.

    "Caffein is an instant webcam chat service for friends and peers. Create a free video chat room and enjoy talking right now!" Looks like fun, but I don't know how many people can be in one room at a time. V-rooms take bandwidth.

blubbr - Play & create video trivia games - 0 views

  •  
    You can insert your own quizzes into YouTube videos. This might be a fun way to test students. "Using Blubbr you can create interactive quizzes that are based on YouTube clips. Your quizzes can be about anything of your choosing. The structure of the quizzes has a viewer watch a short clip then answer a multiple choice question about the clip. Viewers know right away if they chose the correct answer or not. To create a quiz on Blubbr start by entering a topic for your quiz. After entering your topic enter a search for a video about that topic. Blubbr will generate a list of videos that you can select from to use in your quiz. When you find a video that works for you, trim the clip to a length that you like then write out your question and answer choices." T/H R. Byrnes

    You can call and leave a phone message, or create your own "show" in a room with a webcam--yourself as host and your invitees as participants. Free, thus far. This might be very useful for listening-speaking practice with your students, since they can call from their own phones, rather than getting to a computer to Skype.
