How Americans Spend Their Time | Visual.ly - 1 views

  •  
    Interesting infographic about "how Americans spend their time". Depending on your Pathways book, it could tie in very well, especially the "Life in a Day" unit (Level 3? Can't remember). Plus it would support the focus on visual literacy that Pathways (and research) is focusing on as a critical 21st century student/workplace skill.

The Hidden Worlds of the National Parks - 0 views

  •  
    A very cool site that lets you "explore" various national parks with beautiful AV support. Looks like it would be an excellent supplement to the Pathways books.

Op-Docs Video Channel - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    Op-docs is a series of video interviews (some animated, some filmed, whatever) that are, obviously, opinion pieces. They're not terrible long (from about 5 minutes to 15 minutes) and cover a wide variety of topics. They would probably be a good resource for Level 5 and 6 teachers. The speaking, while mostly native speakers, was not incredibly fast. They also could be used as resources for combining ideas from multiple resources.

EnglishAccentCoach.com - 0 views

  •  
    Game based practice for vowel & consonant sounds using the IPA. Would need to know IPA in order to use. Good teacher training website as well if you need to learn the IPA. Free but if students register they can track their progress.

Pro Tips: How to Study on Vimeo - 0 views

  •  
    Short video (5 minutes) with study tips. Not necessarily new but I got some ideas about activities that have students "teach" the material. Level 5 & Level 6 students might be able to watch and understand. Would be a good session intro video / ideas to work into (I know, we tell these to our students 100 times and they don't listen...maybe if they see a video on it from someone else & then is teacher reinforced, it might stick better?)

Human the movie - YouTube - 1 views

  •  
    Lots of short videos (pulled from a full length movie) from interviews with people around the world. Very inspirational! Description from the website: What is it that makes us human ? Is it that we love, that we fight ? That we laugh ? Cry ? Our curiosity ? The quest for discovery ? Driven by these questions, filmmaker and artist Yann Arthus-Bertrand spent three years collecting real-life stories from 2,000 women and men in 60 countries. Working with a dedicated team of translators, journalists and cameramen, Yann captures deeply personal and emotional accounts of topics that unite us all; struggles with poverty, war, homophobia, and the future of our planet mixed with moments of love and happiness.

Free Resources - 0 views

  •  
    NBC News has a ton of short (2-5 minute) videos on a wide variety of subjects (the brain, natural disasters, nanotechnology, the planet, etc.) For native speakers but probably useful for our higher levels. Could be a good resource for those of your looking for short video clips to go with the Pathways topics.
