IL videos

I got this message from Woody Horton, active as ever. Thank you.
Colleagues, a great many short IL videos, of various lengths, aimed at
different education levels, with a variety of themes, and so on, have
been published in recent years and I find them very useful for the
classroom, in workshops, at conferences and business meetings, and so
forth. They can be very useful for getting across basic ideas, and
adding an entertaining element to what might otherwise be a "heavy"
topic.  I urge you to become familiar with some of them so that you
can enrich your teaching and professional IL tools portfolios. Here is
a selected sample, and you can certainly find many more if you go to
the main YouTube website. There are some MIL videos among them.
