Link to a specific time in a YouTube video. Easy to do yourself but possibly helpful to teachers/students and I always forget the structure.

--- you'd be liquified at the atomic level I wonder what other stories you might tell like this.

This article answers a question I have had since 10th grade English - "Is it possible to make Jane Eyre interesting?" I watched the Hamlet video and was thoroughly entertained. I could see these videos being used in 8th grade and high school English classes, especially if you edited one or two short segments (he says a** and b****, but other curse words are bleeped out within the video). These clips could be really useful when discussing the topic of "audience." As a culmination to a unit/lesson on audience, I could see students making their own version of "Thug Notes" or "rewriting" a book to some extent and adapt the work for a specific culture/group of people.

"Reactions filmed with a high-speed camera. New videos being added every week." Could be interesting to look at the reaction in regular speed and have students discuss: "What do you notice and wonder?" Then, play the slow mo videos and see what sort of observations pop up.

Math behind health insurance. Interesting video that could be applied to math (probability, ratios, etc.) or social studies (government spending, incentives, role of government)

Interesting video on the water cycle Interesting video on the water cycle Made me stumble on this science website as well, which seems promising: http://www.untamedscience.com/science-videos

Why technology matters for out students. May be useful for a faculty meeting, PD session, etc.

"With ScreenCastify installed in Chrome you can record everything happening in a tab in your browser. Voiceovers are supported and a pointer is included by default. Completed recordings can be saved to your computer or uploaded directly to YouTube."

"When you get the flu, viruses turn your cells into tiny factories that help spread the disease. In this animation, NPR's Robert Krulwich and medical animator David Bolinsky explain how a flu virus can trick a single cell into making a million more viruses." Interesting video/animation on how we get the flu. Could be an interesting resource in a unit or lesson on viruses.

"I guess dragons love gold. In the recent trailers for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (YouTube clip) you can get a glimpse of all the gold Smaug has. Why does a dragon need this much gold? I don't get it. Maybe Smaug doesn't actually like gold but he just wants to keep it away from other people. Whatever his motivation for hoarding, I am going to try to get an estimate for just how much gold is in the Lonely Mountain." Talk about a fun math problem...

One of my PE teachers sent this to me. She saw it in today's Diigo digest and got excited about it. "First 15 minutes provide an overview of technologies that can be used in K-12 PE. Many examples are provided."

Amazing how a remix can completely change your perception of a story. There's an English lesson here somewhere.
