Ted Now Available

For your viewing pleasure www.ted.com is now available.

For those of you who have not experienced TED it is comprised of 18-20 minute
video presentations by world experts on subjects primarily in the fields of
technology, education and design. However the videos cross all spectrums
and interest groups, many being motivational and/or inspirational.

Enjoy!!

Unblocked Web Sites

I am happy to announce that YouTube is no longer blocked at HERH (for appropriate educational use) Also as of this morning, the National Film Board site nfb.ca is also available for your browsing. And finally an excellent site Fora.tv consisting of full length lectures from various think tanks is now available. We are still working on getting www.ted.com unblocked.
