Thing 7 - Video Resources

I never cease to be amazed at the sheer volume of information on the Internet! This "Thing" was all fairly new to me. Of course I knew there was a tremendous amount of video available online, but I had NO IDEA of the vastness of it!

I had just learned about Hulu this summer, so it was fun to explore this. I was also aware of videos available on PBS, but spent time exploring these more in depth! I am amazed that there are so many full length videos available! I had seen the National Archives Videos on Thing 4, but really delved into them on this entry - amazing! Here is a video clip from the National Archives on the Declaration of Independence -


This would be great to show 5th grade when they are studying the American Revolution and the start of our government.

The second video I looked at was on Hulu and it was of the Hubble Telescopes' pictures of Saturn. This video did not have an embed code but the link is posted below. This would be a great video to share with 3rd grade when they are studying space.

Thing 7 has left me with many more things to explore!!

Hulu has been blocked by the district. We will have to look at other sources for these things, but many may be on YouTube. The Hubble stuff may be at NASA?
