The glittery objects that distracted me on the web today

First a stop action animation be PES….that I found on Emily Valenza’s blog art ed digested.

I love seeing the thought and creativity that people put into their youtube videos. However, I am not willing to scroll through the boring and tedious to look for the golden videos. I really appreciate it when bloggers do the mining and locate the gems for the rest of us.

And then there is Nova’s Open Source website on the car of the future. Students can download and edit the video provided, but the class does need access to video editing software such as iMovie.

I checked out Blackle.com. It’s a google web search page that has a black background to save energy. That I learned about watching “Battleground Earth” from Discovery’s Planet Green Network. We’ve been watching several shows on the network, because we are getting ready to remodel our 55-year-old house. Wish I could find a dependable general contractor in San Diego who works with earth-friendly-materials. Otherwise using Blackle.com may be my biggest contribution to going green this year.

Blog of blogs for teachers

Found this list of 50 up and coming education blogs on teaching tips.com which led me astray for about 3 hours today. It was well worth my time, though I was probably supposed to be doing something else that was on deadline or time-sensitive. I have now registered my digital art classes to participate in Rotoball 2009 a global collaborative animation project that last year involved 80 students from 11 schools in 4 countries.
