ArtShots: Touching Lives with Her Feet

The hope behind ArtShots is that the clips would highlight artists, arts organizations, and teachers who have touched people’s lives in their community.  This entry from Margaret Ma fulfilled on that hope completely. It profiles dance instructor Gayle Greenbrook. Here’s a peek.

Boys Cannot Resist…

We’re told that there are some things that boys naturally cannot resist. Trying to fix something that no one asked them to fix. Trying to find a route through the mountains using only dead-reckoning. (Maybe using a map in a pinch.) And stomping in a puddle if it’s close enough to reach with their feet. [...]

What’s on YOUR Mind?

We love to feature content that is designed to enlighten and teach. It’s no secret that the TED lectures are among the best of this sort of material online. These talks are a little bit longer than typical clips and videos online. But they are definitely worth the time. In one of the best of [...]

Learning from TED

For the most part here at See It Online, we’ve favored the short works, and those that primarily deliver entertainment. (We like being entertained, don’t you know…) But one of the richest emerging veins of emerging online content is that of educational matter once reserved for university students, and attendees at top level industry conferences.
