Isn’t it fun to see the Today show’s reunions of some of television’s best-loved families? (Be patient with the brief ads before the clips — it’s worth it.)

This joyous salute to books and reading is guaranteed to cheer your day. Bravo to the teachers, the administration, the librarians, and most of all the kids at the Ocoee Middle School. Keep reading!
Thanks to the wonderful Jennifer Farrington of the fabulous Chicago Children’s Museum for sharing this with me. And props to the Black Eyed Peas for giving permission to use their song.
I was very happy to hear that response videos are coming in. I’ll update you on the best ones I see. If your school makes one, send it to me!

The Oscars are about more than office pools, fashion, and celebrities. It’s also a chance to learn more about that most collaborative of art forms, the movies. It took more than 3000 people to make “Avatar,” and only a couple of dozen were on screen. Slate has an excellent explanation of one of the more obscure awards, sound editing. Take a look and pick your favorite to win the award on Sunday night.
Check out Slate’s pieces on art direction and editing, too.
