It is not just another website for submitting videos - we recognize that a lot of great content is already out there, it just needs to be better organized.
All content on EduTube ismoderatedand only relevant, educational content is permitted. What distinguishes EduTube from other educational video sites is the focus on high quality, popular videos - typically EduTube videos are those which get several hundred to several thousand or more views a day on the hosting website (such as YouTube). Also unique to EduTube is the system for organizing videos and making them searchable.

Historical Thinking Skills Interactives - This series of interactive activities introduces and models the Historical Thinking Skills defined by theNational Center for History in the Schools. The interactives each model a specific skill or set of skills, such as analyzing historical artifacts or using primary sources to develop a thesis. The first five interactives conclude with "Classroom Extensions," which give teachers hints on how they can teach using these skills in their classrooms. The final interactive, Balancing Sources, includes input from our advisory board of teachers, modeling how they might use the primary sources within the interactive.

a text to movie application. Includes histroric figures and past presidents.
xtranormal- a ‘Text-to-Movie’ application. Their tag line says, “If you can type, you can make movies.” You also need to be able to choose from a range of available characters, facial expressions, animations, settings, sound effects, etc. The possibilities are unlimited.
There is a helpful set of Quick Tips to guide the novice movie maker through the process. The quality of the text-to-speech is remarkably good, as is the range of available creative options. Movies can be shared and easily embedded elsewhere on the net. You even have the option of re-mixing movies that have been made by other film makers. Xtranormal’s mission is to bring movie-making to the people.
I hope there will always be a free version of this application. There are indications that once the product is out of beta, there will be a paid premium service available.
It takes a few minutes to render between previews but when you’re ready to save it the finished product looks sleek and slick. You can even publish it directly to YouTube with the click of one button.
A few things I learned about Xtranormal:
• Spelling words phonetically or in an odd way sometimes sounds better: such as anim ate vs. animate and wick kee vs. wiki
• To shorten unnatural pauses between words, hyphenate (teacher-librarian)
• Capitalizing after any punctuation mark increases the pause between words
• Capitalizing the first letter after a hyphen slightly increases the pause between words (teacher-Librarian)
• Capitalizing intra-sentence letters allows you to emphasize certain syllables (comPlexity is sometimes overRated! )
• Capitalize ANY words you wish emphasized (use Restraint, capitalizing Every word would be the same or Worse than leaving them as they Were!)
Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
