Making Curriculum Pop

Ready to have your mind blown? Here’s how you can “copy” from the entire medium of television news and “paste” into your blog, Tumblr, Twitter feed or Facebook wall. With this technique, you can quote media the same way you quote text. You can be like Jon Stewart from the comfort of your bedroom.

1. Head over to the Internet Archive’s TV News Archive, which is already the most impressive public interest technology project in recent history.

2. Opt into the preview version, which has some new experimental features. (There’s a ribbon on the top right.)
