Rhythm Rhyme Results - This company makes educational rap music that's not going to make you want to gouge your eyes out.  They do sell their music, but there's quite a few free resources to download and/or access through their site.

Among the other topics that you have compiled in this post, I liked the e book by the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation. Just loved the idea of implementing videos and demonstrations into a book. Hopefully, such books will bring in a revolutionary change in the field of education.Do you think similar?
