Stupeflix - Video creation made easy
Stupeflix is another one of those online apps/spaces that enable you to create slideshows using images from online or your camera to which you can add a soundtrack. The big difference with this one is that you can actually download the “movie” to your own computer either as an mp4 or flash file. You can also select to group images so that they have the same transition. This also enables you to add soundtracks specific to each group. The only downside is that there is no direct embed code, instead you have to upload the movie to a thrid party site such as TeacherTube and then use this code to embed it as below.

YouTube - Twouble with Twitters

Awesome Stories
AwesomeStories is geat site that brings together a range of primary sources of history including written, audio, video, slideshow, digital images and documents into a story format. As the folks at Awesome Stories say
"The stories exist as a way to place original materials in context and to hold those links together in an interesting, cohesive way (thereby encouraging people to look at them). It is a totally different kind of web site in that its purpose is to place primary sources at the forefront - not the opinions of a writer. Its objective is to take the site's users to places where those primary sources are located."
Whilst the original material in the site is largely American based the approach used serves as a great model in how historical record can be assembled as a narrative.

Why is science important? - A collection of thoughts from leading scientists, public figures, ...and you.
This blog and embedded videos are an attempt by teacher Alom Shaha to answer the perrenial question from students as to why learn science. As Alom says,
"I want this project to reach people who don’t think science is important and convince them otherwise. I want it to demonstrate that science is absolutely crucial to the future wellbeing of our world, that its contribution to culture is as significant as that of music, art or literature and, most important of all, that a sound appreciation of science is vital to realising your potential as a human being. I want this project to make it far, far easier for any science teacher to be able to answer that inevitable question, ‘what’s the point of all this?”
