TED-Ed - Lessons Worth Sharing
Check out this website I found at education.ted.com
The TED Channel for Education on YouTube. It will be great to have some of the best ideas on effecting change in Education in one place.
Howdy - I'm Clint and I am the Technology Integration Specialist for SEDC, Southwest Educational Development Center in the beautiful SW corner of Utah. Welcome to my posterous site.
Any training I do, any resource that I need to share, or anything that I stumble across that is just plain cool I'll share here. Check out the Tags below to quickly get to a topic, or do a Search for what you can remember from a training of mine.

UPDATE!
Not more than an hour after the second presentation of the day, I participated in a Faculty Lounge presentation from UEN on apps for the iPad that will allow you to create those Khan Academy-style recordings and podcasts. With just one app, you have everything you need - even the tablet to write on! You might want to look at a stylus to make writing easier, but this solution is MUCH less trouble and expense (unless you don't already have an iPad!).
Here are my two favorites from what I saw:

'I am strongly supportive of teachers having access to social networking so they can use worthwhile educational sites such as Facebook and particularly YouTube,'' he said. ''Teachers will be able to teach their students about digital citizenship so that students will be responsible users themselves of social networking sites at home.'
Teach them to be responsible Digital Citizens where there is some guidance and supervision instead of blocking and filtering.
Great to see that the tide of blocking and filtering is slowly turning.
In case you didn't know, SnipSnip.it is an easy way to share your favorite parts of videos you like.
Here at SnipSnip, we believe that there are two kinds of people in this world... The kind that just snip videos and the kind that do more with those snips. If you fall into the second category, then you're in luck. Soon, SnipSnip will allow you to do more with your snips.
Until then, snip on!
Excellent idea! What a great tool for educators who are integrating YouTube videos into their instruction - too bad it only works if YouTube is not filtered in the district.
I wish that this site would go one step further and allow you to download your snips - but I guess that there may be too many copyright implications with that. Maybe they are hinting at this feature above???
Some quick links for today's training - I'll add more information as we encounter it!
