I’ve been accumulating a variety of online video sites that don’t quite fit into my extensive list of previous “The Best…” lists related to videos. So, I’ve decided to make a “potpourri” list and, within it, include links to all my previous lists, too.
First, I’ll links to my older lists. Later in this post, you’ll find a variety of other useful video links.
Here are all my “The Best” lists related to videos: TEACHING WITH MOVIES & VIDEO CLIPS
