Mining for Negawatts
The MIT community is conducting a great deal of exciting research related energy consumption in built environments. I will begin with a overview of some of the research projects at MIT, ranging from lighting to building controls. I will then do a deeper dive into research being conducted at the Field Intelligence Lab at MIT on the topic of negawatt mining. The term "negawatt" has come to indicate saved, or negative, watts from measures that reduce energy consumption. However, not all negawatts c

Romanticism and British Literature
This video goes through the romantic period and points out the main authors and important figures. Several major figures are mentioned, but the video moves too rapidly for most students to take notes so a list of those mentioned and what they did would be of value. There are many terms used that the teacher may need to explain. The video is seven minutes long.
