In the National Research Council’s (NRC) 1996 National Science Education Standards (NSES), inquiry held a prominent position as its own content area, but the term rarely comes up in its 2012 Framework for K–12 Science Education (Framework).

Type Studio is an excellent new site for editing and creating digital video that I just found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers. The way this works is quite simple, once you upload a video, Type Studio transcribes the video into text. A user can then edit the text to edit their video. For example, if there is a part of the text/video you want to remove, highlight the text and press delete and the video has been edited/cut.
