This is an amazing video where I really got hooked up.  This is a must see video on how advance we got (without the majority really knowing it) to see the universe we are in.  Good times!

Start your day with a smile in your face.  There’s always good time for a laugh!  Go check out the winners of the Prank Contest – Volume 3 2009.

There are times that animals show more will power than human beings.  There may be at times that we may be hopeless, but this video will show that even at times when we feel that we are hopeless, there are ways on how we can counter our problems.

Give this sometime a shot for a friend!

Efren’s Penaflorida’s story began with this video:

Out of the hundreds, the world has finally chosen Efren to be the CNN’s hero for 2009.  All the other participants did as well, but Efren has touched the people’s heart closest.  Efren seems to have a little hard time speaking in English, but he has clearly given out his idea of a hero on the day he was awarded.

Universities from the Europe and Israel have now joined YouTube EDU . The site now provides over 45,000 videos from over 20 top universities in nine countries with academic lectures, public talks and college life from universities including Cambridge University , The Open University, (UK), INSEAD , (France), Bocconi University (Italy), Open University of Catalonia , (Spain) University of Gronigen (The Netherlands), Moscow State University (Russia) – in addition to the 200 US universities already on the site. The international version now includes a drop-down menu to filter content based on language of choice. For example, select French and find content from HEC in Paris and also the French-Canadian University of Montreal , or set to ‘All’ to browse videos in all languages. The Directory also enables subjects to be browsed – e.g. select ‘Business’, ‘Engineering’ or ‘Literature’ to see content available. Although this feature is currently only available for English at the moment, we are looking to roll-out to languages as more universities join. Now, go learn something!

The fall semester is around the corner, meaning you’re probably starting to think about what new subjects and topics you’ll tackle. If you are studying CS or considering taking a Computer Science course we thought you might be interested in Google Code University . Here you’ll find a repository of educational material, including tutorials, lecture slides, and videos focused entirely on computer science. The content – developed by the best schools around the country – is cutting edge. Since all of it is Creative Commons licensed, you can even download it and reuse it in your class. With freshly created content by the University of Southern California , California Polytechnic State University and the University of Washington , there’s lots to check out, so give it a whirl and learn something new!

Back-to-School with Google Code University

Have you ever had a hard time keeping track of a big group project? Do you ever wish you could find a way to promote a competition or school event? Want to get more attention for your student group or club? In case you haven’t met yet, please allow us to introduce you to Google Sites. Google Sites are a great tool for students – for example, as a way to work with others to collaborate on a group project. You can embed a calendar to keep track of deadlines; or a Google spreadsheet to keep track of your research. When it comes time to turn in your project, you can even include videos or slide shows right in your site. If you want to promote a school event like a class election, you can create a site with videos and information about all of the candidates and even embed a Google form so students can vote or send feedback. Here’s an example site for a Ski Club , to give you an idea of what’s possible. To see how some students are using Google Sites in the classroom, check out our new Sites for Teachers page.
