Hot off the presses video with tons of Big History connections!

 Bridgette OConnor I think this video would fit very well into the introductory unit on Big History. I currently use this short video by Neil deGrasse Tyson but the one you shared has such powerful images and invites deeper reflection on the fragility of our existence on this planet.

I might also consider using it to close the course, as an invitation for students to reflect on what it means to be human and what it means to live on this precious planet.

That's a great video, Laura! I really like the idea of using the Hank Green video as an end-of-course reflection. If/when you use it, please let us know how it goes!
