The Britannica entry on the "Native American Mascot Controversy" provides an in-depth look at the debate surrounding the use of Native American imagery and names for sports teams and mascots. It explores the historical context, detailing how these mascots have long been considered offensive by many Native American groups, who argue that such representations perpetuate stereotypes and diminish the significance of their culture. The article also discusses key legal cases, decisions by educational institutions, and shifts in public opinion, as well as the broader conversation about cultural appropriation and respect for Indigenous peoples.

Theater and Drama, from Crash Course, offers a collection of YouTube videos related to many famous (and not-so-famous) dramas. Find video titles, such as Shakespeare's Tragedies and an Acting Lesson, The Spanish Golden Age, Greek Comedy, Satyrs, and Aristophanes, among many others. The videos include a short paragraph describing the content; some also have lesson stems. What a great collection for secondary English teachers or anyone looking for short videos related to Shakespeare and the history of drama. Be aware - some of the videos include short advertisements before they begin. As these videos are hosted on YouTube, if your school does not allow YouTube, this site would not work well for you. There is an option on the site to download the video to view off of YouTube.
This site includes advertising.

tag(s): acting (19), plays (29), shakespeare (95)

In the Classroom

Share the Shakespeare videos during a unit on The Bard - or even to recognize his birthday! These videos would be ideal to use for flipped or blended learning. Have students view the videos at home and then use a tool such as Magic School, reviewed here to create instant questions to review the video and use for a quick entrance ticket at the start of the next class.

The Crash Course has over 45 videos on topics ranging from Anatomy to Zoology, Artificial Intelligence to Outbreak Science. There are the more common topics one might want to learn about, like Ecology, Films, Geography, and much more. All videos are free to watch. Each video also includes a short description (some with lesson stem ideas). Crash Course videos are hosted on YouTube. If your district/school blocks YouTube, they may not be viewable. The good news for teachers whose schools block YouTube is that you can download the video if you fill out a form. Go to the Download tab from the top menu, select Students & Teachers, scroll down the page, and follow the directions.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (143), black history (130), branches of government (64), business (51), climate (83), computers (109), copyright (46), ecology (101), energy (132), engineering (126), human body (94), literature (219), media literacy (105), myths and legends (24), plants (148), politics (114), space (216), statistics (120), video (261), zoology (9)

In the Classroom

Introduce this site on your interactive whiteboard or with a projector. The site is excellent for introductory material on any topic you're starting and for giving students some background knowledge. Use Acclaim, reviewed here to organize and annotate the videos you plan to use. Crash Course is also great for your early finishers. Allow them to choose a topic they want to investigate or know more about.
