SnagFilms! Thousands of Free-to-Watch Documentaries.

I've heard of this site multiple times and heard that it was great, but I had never spent the time to take a look at it. They have an amazing number of documentary films, past to current on nearly every topic imaginable. I was able to find what looks like every National Geographic movie and all for free! It looks like they currently have over 2000 documentaries and they are adding more all of the time (at least weekly - I get an update about once a week of new SnagFilms being uploaded). There is even a SnagFilms iPad app where you can watch all of the movies. The videos can be found at www.snagfilms.com

Using Google Forms for Student Surveys and Quizzes/Tests

Google Docs includes an item known as a form. This is basically an online survey builder that

allows for all types of questions; multiple choice, select from a list, free response short, free response long, etc. The responses are collected in an automatically generated and populated spreadsheet as students complete their surveys. They can be easily emailed or shared with students or even posted as a url. There are even ways to give the questions on the iPod touches!

You can learn how to make these simple forms by looking here You can also look here and here for more ideas!
