The FreeSound Project

The Freesound Project aims to create a huge collaborative database of audio snippets, samples, recordings, bleeps, ... released under the Creative Commons Sampling Plus License. The Freesound Project provides new and interesting ways of accessing these samples, allowing users to: 
  • browse the sounds in new ways using keywords, a "sounds-like" type of browsing and more
  • up and download sounds to and from the database, under the same creative commons license
  • interact with fellow sound-artists!

All you wanted to know about washing your hands

The CDC has a number of resources that you can use for training programs.  For example, I looked for information on "hand washing" and came accross the following:
  1. good source of information page -http://www.cdc.gov/cleanhands/
  2. video on hand washing that can be downloaded - http://www.cdc.gov/CDCTV/HandsTogether/
  3. podcast - http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/player.asp?f=8520
  4. e-card to send - http://www2c.cdc.gov/ecards/message/message.asp?cardid=297&category=190
  5. poster and brochure
  6. link to another good website - http://www.fightbac.org/
A little digging lead me to washup.org (http://www.microbeworld.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=483&Itemid=243l) - with additional videos and a quiz.
