Fluffy low-carb bread<\/strong>
\nHere\u2019s a super-simple\u00a0recipe<\/a>\u00a0for ultra low carb, fluffy bread. I made a\u00a01-minute video<\/a>\u00a0that shows how I make it, and the results. This is the\u00a0almond flour<\/a>\u00a0I use. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Slow TV Map<\/strong>
\nRecomendo reader Mark Jackson shared this wonderful\u00a0Slow TV Map<\/a>\u00a0and said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you haven\u2019t heard of Slow TV before, it is a genre of long-form television originating from the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation\u2019s broadcast of an uninterrupted 7-hour train journey in 2009. Slow TV Map maps these types of videos on a map so you can discover virtual journeys in an interactive way. Most people use Slow TV as a screensaver, but it can also be used as a form of active meditation. I hope you enjoy!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Such a great way to virtually visit parts of the world you\u2019ve always wanted explore. Here is a 1-hour long, Slow TV video of an\u00a0105-year old ship sailing the Denmark Coastline<\/a>\u00a0set to acoustic guitar. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Ancient coin lessons<\/strong>
\nA fantastic history teaching tool is to give each student a 2,000-year old Roman or Greek coin to clean, study, and keep. Recovered old coins are abundant enough that a bag of uncleaned (and unidentified) ancient coins can be purchased for a few dollars per coin. Of course these coins won\u2019t be high quality; they may be corroded or poorly crafted or well-worn down and indistinct, but they will be authentically old, and actually used as money. That is part of the lesson. Small lots of genuine ancient coins can be bought from reputable sources like\u00a0Vcoin<\/a>, where a lot of 20 diverse coins can be $45 (or bit more than $2 per coin). Cleaning them up and trying to identify them gets into their story.\u00a0Ancient Coins for Education<\/a>\u00a0is a resource for educators using old coins, and\u00a0Kevin\u2019sCoins<\/a>\u00a0has tips for cleaning them. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

3D printer infographics<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re getting started in 3D printing, Billie Ruben\u2019s\u00a0infographic posters<\/a>\u00a0will save you time, money, and frustration. One poster shows how to design shapes that won\u2019t collapse or slide off the plate mid-print. Another helps you select the right design software for your needs, and the third one is a simple (and essential) guide to bed leveling. I\u2019ve been 3D printing stuff for 10 years and learned a lot from these guides. You can\u00a0buy paper posters here<\/a>. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Find movies by writing out the synopsis<\/strong>
\nJustWatch has a cool way to discover new movies to watch.\u00a0Just type up a synopsis for your ideal movie and you\u2019ll be given a list of films with similar plots<\/a>.\u00a0Tip<\/strong>: Press \u201center\u201d after you\u2019ve finished typing and the recommendations will refresh. I made the mistake of pressing the \u201cGhostwrite a story for me\u201d button which overrides whatever you\u2019ve written with a random plot and related movies. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Free Lynda classes<\/strong>
\nTutorials on YouTube are near infinite in their variety \u2014 and quality. I\u2019ve long paid for a subscription to\u00a0Lynda.com<\/a>\u00a0which provides consistently very high quality tutorials for learning to use design and media software, and for learning how to program and code. The courses are methodical and reliable. I can get up to speed or earn advanced skills pretty quickly. I\u2019ve been using them for learning video editing.\u00a0 Recently Lynda was bought by LinkedIn, and renamed LinkedIn Learning. Their complete catalog of\u00a015,000 courses are made available for free via public libraries<\/a>\u00a0in the US. Generally all you need is a library card account to gain access through your local library system. BTW, tons of Recomendo readers reminded me that many of the\u00a0Great Courses<\/a>\u00a0(mentioned previously) are also available online for free via your local library.\u00a0\u2014 KK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
