Mr. D's Neighborhood 
Videos for the Classroom: History of the World in Seven Minutes
Why can’t all our units of study be this concise?!
The good folks at the Social Studies and History Teachers Blog put up an interesting little video about world history. World History For Us All created this film to show the birth and development of our planet.
Its informative, interesting and well made. Yet what should strike students is how the time is broken up. In a video that is over seven minutes long, only the last two minutes are devoted to recorded human history. It should give a sense of how infinitesimally short our existence has been on this Earth.
Enjoy.
