Encyclomedia is a free video encyclopedia. On Encyclomedia you can browse for videos and articles by category or search for a specific topic. What I like about Encyclomedia is that visitors can read an article then go watch a video that matches that article. It's very similar to the now-offline Nibipedia and VisWiki sites.
Thanks to Ann Oro for sharing Encyclomedia on Twitter this morning.
Applications for Education
When I searched on Encyclomedia this morning I didn't always find what I was looking for (Revolutionary War only yielded a couple of results), but for some content areas it could be very helpful. Encyclomedia could be helpful for struggling readers to get some visual and audio content to support them in their quest to understand a particular topic.
