My school has a subscription to Discovery School/UnitedStreaming. I've used a lot of videos and video clips from this site. I've used them by just showing small clips or showing an entire video. I have downloaded small sections of videos and posted them onto my Moodle course. And I think that my tech coordinator was going to figure out how to sign
my students up to go to the site and watch a video (if they are absent and the video is too big to fit on a site like Moodle).This site allows you to search for videos/clips and then narrow it by content area, grade level, full clip or video, etc... One drawback I see to this site is that sometimes the videos are dated. That might not seem like such a big deal, but outdated videos in science are not a god thing. I really kind of wish that our school had a subscription to Learn360. Maybe if I ask a few more times :)
I find that video resources are so nice in science since science (at least life science) tends to be such a visual acitivity. However, I have used some audio resources before with various assignments (podcasts from places like NPR Science Fridays).
