Online environmental videos

There are so many good online resources for videos that can be shown in the classroom. I find that the full-length films are often too long and I don't have time to show the entire show during class time. That's why I like to pull relevant content from sites like TED Talks and Big Picture TV. The nice thing about these sites (beyond places like You Tube) is that they are content rich and always reputable. They also give you the option to search for content under a theme. In this case, I searched for content under the "environment" category on Big Picture TV. This then allowed me to search under sub-categories such as "activism", "business", "design" and "development". I was intrigued by the "education" sub-category because it indicated that there was a talk by David Orr, who I have mentioned as the author of several interesting books in previous posts. After clicking on his name, it took me to five videos that he has on the site. I was intrigued by "What should be the role of nature in education?" Here it is: only 4 minutes, and relevant to my interests with a minimal amount of searching. I hope you find this site to be a useful resource, whether in the classroom or for your own interest.
