    Wesley,

    Check out the link below which I found at James Tubbs (www.mrteacher.blogspot.com)site. Be forewarned, it packs a wallop. James uses it for his presentations on internet safety.

    Thanks for the list!

    Wesley:

    Many of the TED talks are good… The one I always show my tech students is the one by David Pogue.

    The other video I show for the effect is “EPIC 2015” – It is the updated version of the first EPIC 2014 video. Sometimes referred to as ‘Googlezon.’

    Wes, am I overlooking the video about teachers recording lectures for home so there is more time for hands-on in the classroom? Or is it elsewhere?

    Thanks!
