Sorry I haven't commented more before now, when I want to put a word of caution up. I tried out TimeTube and I'd say that it makes more sense for teachers than students. The matches aren't going to be filtered much for quality or appropriateness, and I'd hesitate to send students wandering through some of what turns up. I tried some pretty tame searches (Harper Lee, Nelson Mandela), and found a few random unrelated items, weak student projects, a music video, some Afrikaaner/Nationalist propaganda, and the timeline makes everything seem pretty recent. However, if I were looking for something to present myself, I could pull from this resource. Hi Larry –
