A member of our class shared this on their blog. It's another great site for finding material with flexible copyrights that are easier for us to use and reuse on the Internet or in projects.

This website has some neat activity ideas about how to show videos and use them for educational purposes.

This student in the F2F class did a great video project on a Percy Shelley poem. Check it out for an example of using video to represent/interpret poetry!

it also has tips for creating videos in the classroom that I thought were helpful

And it's actually good music! Some of you may have already found this, but I was excited to find it yesterday as I was looking for music for the background of my video. There are different categories of use, some you can use and change, some you can use but not change, etc. Check it out, even if you're just looking for some new music in your life.

A great history website

This poet shows an excellent example of how a poem should be presented. Mike uses everything from relating to the audience, truth not fact, and his movements are purposeful.

I love videos! Even students who do not claim to be "visual learners" enjoy a video because it keeps their attention and helps them remember the information they are viewing. I have used this website multiple times when teaching lessons in various schools and they have always gone over well. Plus, not only is it a great resource, but it is also allowed in internet filters. YouTube, on the other hand, is blocked in the majority of schools.
