I have posted the lesson plan for the video on the lesson plan page. I notice, however, that in uploading to scribd, I lose formatting (in this case the pagination changes). Suggestions to solve? Thanks!

I found this one somewhat irritating. There are too many links involved, I doubt if I were searching for a teacher, I doubt I would want to spend this much time. The table of contents links only to additional links.

Jana Leonard wrote a new blog post: The tools may change, but students stay the same… 1 year, 3 months ago

I liked this use in a geography class because not only did it require collaboration among the class members, but it also would, it seems, make distant locations seem more ‘real’ if the students begin communicating with other classes…[Read more]

For classroom purposes, the key elements to me are found between 00:25 – 1:08, wherein Cuccinelli dicsusses the government’s argument regarding the Commerce Clause, the section between 1:36 – 2:12 where he talks about the judge’s dicta in the order which also referenced the Taxing power of the federal government and the section between 2:45 [...]
