VideoSurf Video Search Engine - 0 views

  •  
    VideoSurf has created a better way for users to search, discover and watch online videos. Using a unique combination of new computer vision and fast computation methods, VideoSurf has taught computers to "see" inside videos to find content in a fast, efficient, and scalable way. Basing its search on visual identification, rather than text only, VideoSurf's computer vision video search engine provides more relevant results and a better experience to let users find and discover the videos they really want to watch.

Speech Wars: Follow the Candidates' Words - 0 views

  •  
    Weclome to SpeechWars, a great way to see what the candidates are saying. Simply type in a word, click "Go", and SpeechWars shows you how often the candidates used the word in their speeches. You can also compare two words by using both text boxes.

    The United States Library of Congress has selected SpeechWars for inclusion in its official historic collections of Internet materials related to Election 2008. The United States Library of Congress preserves the Nation's cultural artifacts and provides enduring access to them. The Library's traditional functions, acquiring, cataloging, preserving and serving collection materials of historical importance to the Congress and to the American people to foster education and scholarship extend to digital materials, including Web sites. The Library will make this collection available to researchers. The Library's vision is to preserve these Web materials about Election 2008, and to permit researchers from across the world to access them.

:ew Report: Writing Technology and Teens - 0 views

  •  
    Teens write a lot, but they do not think of their emails, instant and text messages as writing. This disconnect matters because teens believe good writing is an essential skill for success and that more writing instruction at school would help them.

    So, you never think your teachers will blog. Don't worry. Just have them send an email to post@posterous.com -- they will be replied with a website made automatically with their email. They can then just email it from then on and it updates automatically. Don't tell the teachers but they ARE blogging. Shhhh! Just say it makes a cute website they can customize. Tell them it is a blog at the end of the year! This is from Doug Belshaw aka Mr. Amazing in my book. I learn so much from him!
  •  
    Teachers who "can't" blog can do it by emailing. They do know how to do that. Students with Gaggle accounts could create a blog too.
  •  
    This is nearly too simple! Blog by email. Post pictures, mp3 file, and text.

    "My Fellow Americans" Voicethread challenge for President Obama.
  •  
    A VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate pages and leave comments in 5 ways - using voice (with a mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too. Users can doodle while commenting, use multiple identities, and pick which comments are shown through moderation. VoiceThreads can even be embedded to show and receive comments on other websites and exported to MP3 players or DVDs to play as archival movies.

MyStudiyo.com - Create a quiz, embed it on your site or blog, all in just 5 minutes! - 0 views

    What an amazing tool! Currently there are two flavors of quizzed "promotional" and " "add on" promotional allows you to create a standard online "quiz" well if you call standard being able to embed audio, video, pictures, and text! The "Addon" quiz lets participants take the quiz and then add more questions if they want? Classroom thoughts abound in my head! Would love to get some traffic with this group on creating an ed version that would allow you to sign up your kids and moderate the questions they submit...
