I don’t know if this is for real or not, but it made me laugh, so I wanted to share it! Maybe a commercial like this isn’t a bad idea…

The Library of Congress now has its own channel on YouTube!
Timeless treasures and contemporary presentations from the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. As the world’s preeminent reservoir of knowledge, we are the steward of millions of recordings dating from the earliest Edison films to the present.
This is a wonderful resource that is now so easy to access!
There are videos of talks by well-known authors at the 2008 National Book Festival, such as this one of Jon Scieszka:
There are also fascinating clips of early film from the Edison and Westinghouse laboratories:
And the Journeys and Crossings playlist, which “[brings] to life some of the Library’s most exciting and historically significant materials through the personal insights of the staff who know them best.”
Have fun sifting through all of these fabulous treasures!

What a great idea! A video tour of the library for parents and others would be a great addition to any library web site.

Everyone knows about YouTube and most educators have heard of TeacherTube by now. Over at his Around the Corner blog, Miguel Guhlin reports on a new service for educational videos, edublogs.tv.
Teachers who are frustrated with not being able to use YouTube clips in class due to filtering restrictions will find that there is a very easy process for uploading videos from YouTube and other sources to edublogs.tv.
Since it’s new, there hasn’t been a lot of activity on it yet, but I’m sure that will change once word gets around. Go over there and take a look!
