Media Specialists subscribe to several listserves, locally and nationally. Sometimes, they bog you down with WAY too many email posts. You can narrow your search area to include just high school, for instance. Here is one of the latest hits from MEMOlist (Minnesota) that I found interesting and passed it on to the staff @ Central HS. Check out the link at the bottom of this post to see great video clips available in all subjects areas.

Public television station WGBH opens its vault to educators
Educators who want to engage their students and add sizzle to their lessons by using video clips and interview transcripts can turn to "Open Vault," a new web site launched by Boston-based public television station WGBH. The site features video clips and interviews from WGBH programming created between 1968 and 1993, including clips of Muhammad Ali discussing his refusal to fight in Vietnam, African American students arriving at school during Boston's court-ordered desegregation, and Robert McNamara reading from a letter sent by Nikita Khrushchev to President Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Open Vault includes more than 500 streaming video clips and more than 1,000 interview transcripts in all. Users can search by keyword or browse by topic (arts, business, education, humanities, Massachusetts, science and technology, and social science) and can view data alphabetically by person and by series. In addition, resource management tools allow educators to annotate and tag records, create topical lists, and send information to students for further study or classroom discussion.
