Process Of Video

My original intent in being at the workshop yesterday and today was simply to help a friend, lend a hand when I could, be there for any support needed. Instead, a video grew. Working through the process in a short amount of time clarified a few things. It helped me see the importance of process from a different angle, (video, as opposed to writing). The same rules apply, the exact same rules. Those are... read more

Can’t afford to keep your lab stocked with all the elements? Want to create stories about the elements that your students will remember? The Periodic Table of Videos will surely come in handy. YouTube blocked? No worries, they have a non-YouTube version of the site.

I’ve been thinking about this page for quite a while, but I really only had two or three terms to post with links. Once I sat down to write this, though, I found a few others (Updated 09.19.08).
This list provides examples of literary terms, primarily in videos and images, though there are a few written texts here for now. Page updates will happen. Hopefully this helps... read more
The Importance Of Clarity

Something about an easy message, this video stuck out to me. The rest of The IT Crowd is hilarious and worth watching, from what little I’ve seen, but this piece should be in all the teacher ed schools. Imagine if something simple like 911 (or the even simpler 999 in England, apparently) changed to something difficult:... read more

It’s not Fight Club, but Palahniuk has found his way into my classroom, for sure.

Great show on KQED tonight. “Brazil in Black and White” gives an interesting take on affirmative action. The reasons for its existence in Brazil differ from those presented in America. At one point, photographs of the students decide who will be accepted under the quota system: do you look black enough? Phrased in those... read more

Today continues my chronicling of links to online resources various teachers can use in the classroom. Naturally, a QuickTime version of the video is ready for you to download so you can get this content past the district firewalls. Here’s what I’ll call half a resource for foreign/world language teachers and a full ten-minute running, Cannes-film-festival entering short film for social... read more

Yet again, a video on College Humor might provide a good introduction, this time to the concept of density. Science teachers, this one’s yours again.
Similar to Beer Geometry, this video is a bar trick. Oil and vinegar is the obvious non-alcoholic combination to demonstrate in the classroom. Maybe the... read more
Emo On The News

How would our students define “emo”? Would most of our students identify themselves as emo? Is emo in or out? Several months ago, someone posted a video clip of a news report on emo culture. A bunch of middle-age, photogenic news reporters give the viewing audience a view of a lifestyle that’s all over our high... read more
Goldberg Physics

In my sophomore year, a partner and I had to predict how far away from the table a steel bearing would land after it rushed down a balsa wood ramp. You need to be able to do this if you want a steel bearing to be the first in a sequence of events that will end up, say, knocking a glass of water on your face so you wake up in the morning.
