Over the past few years, I have been collecting interesting Internet videos that would be appropriate for lessons and presentations, or personal research, related to technological and media literacy. Here are 70+ videos organized into various sub-categories. These videos are of varying quality, cross several genres, and are of varied suitability for classroom use.

"Our teachers were asked to view this video prior to our 15-minute Friday staff meeting on March 6. They were then asked to create a question that was inspired by the video that "no one else will ask". The result was 50, wide-ranging questions that are captured in this Wordle." This would be interesting an interesting activity anywhere - college classroom, faculty meeting, professional development. Create a shared google document (spreadsheet). Ask participants to enter their questions on the spreadsheet. Copy/paste it into wordle and voila...in 2 minutes you have a visual representation of the groups thinking. Try it with kids sometime, too.
