Google Digitizes Historic Video Clips

Want to show a video clip of the historic moon landing or a World War II video clip to your class? Need to add some video content to your online course via your learning management system (LMS)? Want to add a short video clip to your PowerPoint or Pachyderm 2.0 presentation?

Now Google has made that easy for you. Google has begun a pilot program to digitize historic films from the National Archives that gives the general public access to a wide variety of movies, documentaries, and other collections of films.

What about using these clips for writing prompts in your English, Language Arts, or ESL/EFL classes? Nothing prompts emotions and sparks ideas like pictures do. You might find your students writing more than you expected.
