More Video and Interactive Resources

Here's a link to free video from National Geographic. There are many different subjects represented. For example, a lesson about blue whales would be so much more effective if it included the video embedded below. It's possibly the first video ever captured of a baby blue whale; already the size of a school bus. The file is just four minutes out of a nearly hour long blue whale documentary. You can also explore an interactive piece here. Or try to tag and track blue whales virtually, here.

Whether an instructor uses the video on an interactive whiteboard, projects it on a screen, or embeds it in a blog, the usefulness of interactive pieces, video, and the tools to present them are a big part of the present and future of technology in education.
