I also got a bunch of 'freebies' that I'll be giving away to interested SH faculty who follow this blog.
Texas was very hot (100+ degrees every day) , but the Convention Center and everywhere I went was air conditioned so I didn't feel the heat too much, except when I walked along the RiverWalk area and went to the Alamo.
First off, two web sites I think some people might be interested in.
1) TeacherTube.com - It's similar in look to YouTube, but videos are posted mostly by teachers for their students or other faculty to learn from. Might be a good resource for some of us to just learn how others are doing things or using video.
Here is one video I like that I think we should show at a Freshman Seminar.
But there are a lot of math and science related videos.
2) SchoolTube.com - This has a lot of videos by kids for kids, but it also has stuff for teachers.
I'm still looking into these site, but seems SchoolTube is a bit more moderated so only 'safe' videos make it online - everything is reviewed before being posted for all to see.
Both are definitely safer than YouTube.
CONTEST ALERT:The first 5 SH employees to visit one of these sites and leave a comment HERE on what they liked/disliked, or found useful will be entered into a drawing to a DVD movie by Discovery Education called "When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions, Landing The Eagle"
Another copy of this video was given to the Library if you want to see it.
When you leave a comment, be sure to put write in your first name so I know who to credit :-)

Neat stuff. I didn't know we had the NASA DVD in our library. I'll check it out.

louie, The dangers of posting was a little slow to download on my ancient machine at home, so I did not watch it all, but it probably would be a good thing for the tykes to see first thing. Gilson
