TECH TIP: VideoAnt: Create online discussions around a video
Video Ant was developed by the University of Minnesota as a way to create interactive, online discussions based on a video (from Youtube or one of your own). At VideoAnt, you upload your video, add in any annotations (aka "ants") that you'd like and then share the video with your students. Depending on your permissions, students can add in their own annotations or comments to the video, thus making it a bit more interactive than just answering questions. Here is a quick overview video on VideoAnt:
BOOK TIP: Is This Anything? by Jerry Seinfeld
A couple years ago, my husband and I went to see Jerry Seinfeld in person and my cheeks hurt from laughing so much. This new book by Seinfeld is a compilation of his years of joke writing. Comedians will write their material, then share it with other comedians and ask, "Is this anything?" Seinfeld cleaned out 45 years of folders of notes and jokes and put them in this book. I did this as an audio (which I highly recommend), with Seinfeld himself narrating, and laughed at out loud throughout. If you need a laugh, this is the book for you.
