New Multimedia Database For K-12 Educators Now Available
Teachers Domain is a brand new digital library and offers "multimedia resources for the classroom and professional development." Access is free but you will need to complete a simple registration form. The site contains both multimedia content and lesson plans. According to the site, "each resource is tailored to specific grade levels and correlated to national and state standards." Multimedia content includes video, audio, images, and interactive content. Presently, over 150 video clips are available with content coming from programs like Nova, A Science Odyssey, and Zoom. Funding for Teachers Domain comes from an NSF grant. This resource is also accessible via The National Science Digital Library.

PBS also offers several searchable video databases of video content. In many cases you can keyword search the video and then view the segment on your computer monitor. This ResourceShelf post from July contains direct links to many of them.

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
