nice site

Great resource for teaching students how to use the tools. Students would rather watch a video instead of listen to the teacher talk, and why not watch a video created by another student?

WOW! You could get lost in this site rather quickly. I'm often looking for "activating strategies" and usually discoverystreaming is my "go to" source for video clips. Now this site will be another resource for me to use!

Agree with Rich why not use other students to explain how to use the tool. I only think of the endless possibilities you could use to collaborate on different readings or assignments using the tool.

"If you've ever wanted to paste "Pop Up Video"-style commentary bubbles over your favorite YouTube clip, Popcorn Maker's drag-and-drop UI couldn't be simpler. But you can also add more sophisticated interactivity like Google Maps, live Twitter feeds, and Wikipedia articles just as easily. "

We discussed this video creation tool (Animoto) during one of our classes. I have since experimented with it and highly recommend that it be considered as a potential classroom video production tool. Educators can apply for 6 month free accounts (which may include up to 50 student accounts). It's ease of use and mild learning curve would certainly be appealing for use with primary students, or use as an experimental production tool for projects with students of any age.

In exploring for multi-media producing mediums/tools I ran across this site. Lots of potential video creation tools to experiment and play with. This site provides itself as an excellent guide and better yet...all promoted are free! = )

interesting video

interesting video. Watch this one. Really.

Not sure I am ready for the idea of couch surfing just yet. I was glad to see that the Mumsnet had a face to face meeting. Being a first time mother can be daunting and having the support of others who have experienced the process is very helpful. Just doing it digitally though, would not have satisfied me had it been available 20 years ago.

A wonderful collection of symbols and links to youtube videos which explain those symbols. Physics and Astronomy.

Has state standards, has lesson plans, videos, news, current events. See highly rated websites by other teachers.

A great video about Here Comes Everybody. You should spend some time in here

"There's a lot of misinformation out there about legal rights and responsibilities in the digital era. This is especially disconcerting when it comes to information being shared with youth. Kids and teens are bombarded with messages from a myriad of sources that using new technology is high-risk behavior. Downloading music is compared to stealing a bicycle - even though many downloads are lawful. Making videos using short clips from other sources is treated as probably illegal - even though many such videos are also lawful. This misinformation is harmful, because it discourages kids and teens from following their natural inclination to be innovative and inquisitive. The innovators, artists and voters of tomorrow need to know that copyright law restricts many activities but also permits many others. And they need to know the positive steps they can take to protect themselves in the digital sphere. In short, youth don't need more intimidation - what they need is solid, accurate information."
