Into Darkness

Oooohhhh yes!

But how long until the release date!?

Fun On Friday #138: Movie Titles

Thank you to Daughter Number 3 for directing me to this one. Twenty-six clues to twenty-six movies - one for each letter of the alphabet and helpfully in alphabetical order.

I managed a disappointing seventeen out of twenty-six. How did you do?

Fun On Friday #102: Matika Yakoff

This is almost too educationally worthy to be a Fun On Friday post but I enjoyed it too much to pass it by:



I think Matika Yakoff deserves his own series. Much more interesting than David Blaine sitting in a box for 40 days... I mean, apart from anything else, Mr Yakoff has a cape and a hat!

What do you think? Is this video only fun if you are a sad old computer geek like me?

Fun On Friday #101: Lego Star Wars

I've posted about Lego animation before (e.g. Fun on Friday #76: Brick-by-brick fussball) and I've posted about DIY animations of Star Wars before (Fun on Friday #69: Crowd Sourced Movies). Well, today, we have the original Star Wars trilogy told with Lego in just over 2 minutes. Brilliant!

I love the description of the Ewoks at around the 1:40 mark of the video.

I'm impressed at how well the trilogy is summarised with the main points covered and a fair bit of humour and the animator's personality in evidence too. I suspect this is a whole new genre of animation I will now have to explore - great movie trilogies summarised. Anyone know where I can find The Godfather told in Lego?

Fun On Friday #85: Bloom's Taxonomy

As readers of this blog, you are clearly bright and intelligent people; people who are interested in education. As such you are probably already familiar with Bloom's Taxonomy but for those who are not in that fortunate position, here is a very helpful YouTube video which will tell you all you need to know.

Perhaps this is too serious a topic for a Fun on a Friday but I hope you find it useful.



{I feel a series coming on... what movies teach us about educational theory!}
