I love the world of Tim and Moby! This website has short, animated clips for all subject areas, and provides a simple, yet entertaining explanation of many difficult topics. But the most beautiful thing about the adventures of Tim and Moby.... THERE ARE SUBTITLES!! It is an excellent way to introduce content specific vocabulary, because the students get to see and hear the new material at the same time, engaging more than one sense at a time. The clips even have short "quizzes" at the end of each video. You certainly do not want to use Tim and Moby to introduce all of your content, but if you are really stumped as to how to convey your message, you may want them to do it for you.
