Great online science resources. Yes that's YouTube in the list, there are some great videos on YouTube. 

This is another awesome tool to crop segments of a YouTube video to share with others. Splicid is very easy to use, jsut paste the URL of the video and provide the start and end time of the segment you want to chop from the video and click continue.

A four-part, true "people's history'' of post war Australia, drawn from the stories and memories of ordinary Australians.

Google taking advantage of its own video network to share ways of using its own products.

TED brings their thoughtful approach to lesson development for classroom use. The animation of videos is interesting and worth exploring. I am more intrigued by the possibility of developing a library of good lessons using YouTube and the TED talks.There is power in numbers. 

This is also a great tool for cropping and slicing parts of a video to share with others. You can use to specify the start point of your video or to skip scenes, zoom in, annotate your video,and even play it in motion.

This is my favourite tool which I have been using for a long time now. It is very easy to use and has a  student friendly interface. Just find the video you want to chop, select and cut interesting part of that video and share it with your students or colleagues.

This is another web tool that lets users select a specific portion of a video to play. The difference between this tool and the ones mentioned above is that it only lets you specifiy a start time but no end time.

he YAY MATH video project is a free service dedicated to meeting the growing need for math success in a POSITIVE, LIVELY, and CONFIDENCE BOOSTING way. YAY MATH stands as the only online video lesson series filmed in a live classroom, with real student interaction. Since its inception two years ago, and over a million YouTube views since, gone are the days of the "I just can't do math" style of thinking. It's time to evolve. It's time to re-invent our entire approach to success.

A group of amateur radio enthusiats launch an HD video camera into space and track it back down to earth. I think it's incredible and a great example of what people with an interest in something can do. What could we do if we gave students goals like this to accomplish? Any thoughts about how we use this incredible example of curiosity with students? Also, note that they send it to space, share their work via YouTube, blog about it, get picked up on the Discovery channel for relatively little cost!

Always looking to share something that might be worth using with your students.

Great resource from Derrick McNeil for helping physics students learn Physics, not independently, but at an independent pace to supplement and differentiate content for his students (and ours).  Interesting approach and philosophy that I think has great merit and is worth exploring for more content areas.
