MANY alternatives and sources for educational video content beyond YouTube.  Great list.

3 minute presentation on the vast amount of information we are producing.  GOOD ideas for slideshows. Note the clear graphics and helpful transitions.  Many of the effects used could easily be done in PPT or Keynote.  View for inspiration!

If you haven't seen this YouTube video, you must. It is a collection of AT&T television ads from 1993 predicting the impact of future technologies on our lives. It is amazingly insightful with one exception: phone booths! Don't forget, the world wide web was in its infancy in 1993 with a minute number of sites that the general public knew little or nothing about. Anyone recognize the narrator's voice?

Great example of touchscreen mobile algebra interactive learning solution.

For all you math teachers and parents, MathBoard may help your student learn to love math. MathBoard is appropriate for all ages from kindergarten (with simple addition and subtraction problems) to elementary school, where learning multiplication and division can be a challenge. You can control the range of numbers you want to work with, the amount of questions you want to answer and length of time allowed per quiz. Kids will likely love it. Even if this were merely a calculator, students would be lining up to play with it because it's on an iPad. The fact that it comes through on its promise makes it all the more useful. The random problem generator is particularly handy for creating quizzes. Gone are the days of picking through or creating your own problems and pasting them into a quiz. MathBoard does all of this for up to 250 problems per quiz. Can I use it in my classroom? This tool is designed specifically for classroom use. Students can use it to work on new math techniques, and teachers can use it to generate homework and quizzes. It's a perfect match. I'm providing a link to a youtube demo above. Please click on it and judge for yourself.

I know we have been using the phrase "web 2.0" during the EDTEC program, but I was still having difficulty understanding the full scope of the term. This video is short and simple, explaining both the regular and technical aspects of "web 2.0."

Very good information on how to have a teacher-student relationship using any type of social networking tool.
