Great Site for Video Clips

I just found a great site for video clips to be used in multi media projects. It is keyword searchable and copyright friendly. I have written to the developers to make sure that as Fair Use  it can be used in school and to see  if clips can be posted on a wiki. Here is the URL. http://movieclips.com/browse/

Infographic

I just added Daily Infographic to my RSS feed. Each weekday the site  posts what they consider to be the best graphic representation of data found on the web. The AP English classes also added it to their blog and use it as a prompt for class discussions.  It provides a unique way for students to gather information and shows them how that information can be visualized in a creative way. It is a wonderful tool to inspire creative thinking. I think that it would compliment lessons that involve using Glogster. Students could find some great examples there.
