The YouTube slideshow tool provides a tool for creating audio slideshows without those three limitations of Animoto."

A great video from WISE Summit in regards to #edreform. +Seth Godin argues that we need to foster problem solvers and leaders. We can't just train students to sit still in the classroom to train them to sit still in the factory. Interesting in light of the O'Farrell furore over rote learning.

The clever bit is that as you click on previous notes you've made, the video will jump to that point, making this a really useful tool for navigating documentaries, study guides and other long, involved videos.
