The Great Art Explained YouTube channel

Over the weekend, based on recent web searches I suppose, YouTube suggested a video about Vincent van Gogh from the Great Art Explained channel.

​Another video that I noticed in the channel, after viewing the one suggested, was about Hokusai's Great Wave:

• The Great Wave [of Kanagawa] by Hokusai (2021.05.17, 17:00)

​That particular woodblock print had been a student's choice of favorite artwork for a short in-class presentation last week.

The clear, deliberate explanations in videos on the Great Art Explained channel, with closed captions available, would make excellent resource choices​ for extensive out-of-class listening, reading-along, and shadowing practice.

The Machine is (Changing) Us: YouTube and the Politics of Authenticity

Wesch (YouTube, 2009.07.16) presents "a brief history" and extolls a new age of "whatever" (33:44 min.), which as Couros (2009.07.21) suggests is well worth our time.

Pageflakes for Educators

Check out this SlideShare presentation by Gladys Baya, with an embedded YouTube video (below). It introduces RSS feeds and a tool for aggregating them, Pageflakes.

Vance Stevens, who moderated an Elluminate Live! session for a TESOL workshop in which Gladys gave the presentation, has made a recording of the session available with a TinyURL. Thanks, Vance!

Thanks, too, to Gladys for publicizing this all in a blog post, Pageflakes for Educators (2009.02.10), in which she also notes recent concerns regarding the stability and viability of Pageflakes.
