TECH TIP: ClassHook
ClassHook is a website that allows you to search for video clips. All the clips come from well-know television shows and movies. Some of the clips are from longer YouTube videos, but the ClassHook link takes you right to the small section you want. These would be great to use in class as an introduction to "hook" students in (who else has been here long enough to remember the Hook & Hold 'Em PD session? :)
For example, I was just talking with Anne D'Aniello about her class' visit tomorrow for the students to study revolutions. I put in a search for "revolution" at ClassHook and it took me to a clip from the movie Animal Farm and Old Major's speech. This could be good to use with a class or part of a student's presentation on revolution.
BOOK TIP: The Hypnotist's Love Story by Liane Moriarty
Liane Moriarty is one of my favorite current authors. Full of quirky, flawed characters in unique situations. But these are characters with heart, and you ultimately want the best for them. In this novel, Ellen is a hypnotherapist whose new boyfriend has an ex-girlfriend that is stalking him. Sounds like a set up for a horror story, but this is really a novel about love and all its many forms.
