Week 3 Dig Deeper Discussion Post - Video Use In Education

There are many video sources I use n my classroom. Currently, I am teaching a Music Business class. My favorite place for this class is Artists House Music: http://www.artistshousemusic.org/Musicians+Strategy
The videos include conference recordings and interviews covering just about every topic in the music industry. 
Another useful site I discovered in a previous class was the Internet Archive of videos. In particular I found a clip that tells the history of adding sound to film. http://www.archive.org/details/FindingH1929 
The site has searches for a variety of subjects and topics. 
Hulu has come in handy for video clips and shows as well. One I use often is Live from the Artists Den http://www.hulu.com/live-from-the-artists-den
I use the clips for performance critiques and to show how artisits adjust their performance based on the venue they perform. There are also other concert videos and movies in the Music channel I use often. 
In order to give a wide range of style examples, as well as read, hear and watch music news in all genres I bring my students to http://www.npr.org/music/  There is a vast list of concert videos including a link to the podcast for Live Concerts from All Songs Considered. I use these sources in most of the music courses I teach for a variety of lesson plans involving style and performance.
