I recently got into TED talks on my iPad. It's a cool way to get my mind on something positive and interesting before trying to go to sleep. I started keeping a list of bookmarked talks to share with my staff. Here's the first one:

Ukulelear: Xtranormal: Just to See if I Could
Ukulelear: Xtranormal: Just to See if I Could
This is a link to my buddy Kyle's blog. He used Xtranormal to create an animated story about his Ukulele Club. Listen to figure out why the pink Uke's sound the best.
It's a great way to get students to interact and publish their writing. It's also a great exercise in how difficult the English language is and how we can use phonemes to sound out words.
