[LM_NET] GEN: incredible website

["Simmons, Judith S." <jssimmon@AUGUSTA.K12.VA.US>]

Our ITRT guy shared this website with me this a.m. and I'm so blown away, I am 
passing it along (forgive me if you already know about this).
 
http://www.archive.org/index.php
 
All sorts of videos, audios, images that are now in the Public Domain are available 
for downloading or streaming. We enjoyed watching the old "Duck and Cover" public 
service announcements from the 1950s. You can search the site easily. He suggested 
downloading the largest, higher quality images. 
 
Because our school system blocks video streaming sites, we went in through the 
backdoor by Googling "Duck and Cover video" and entering by way of that link rather 
than typing the address in the address line of Explorer. 
 
I am not sure how to use the site but plan to save some salient clips on CD for 
teachers and students to view/use.
