I agree with not having specific percentages when it comes to fair use but individuals having guidelines or best practices that allow them to use just enough of an authors information to make a point.
I like Hulu. There a several tv programs that support the curriculum. Cosmos, Cosmic Journey, Space Rip and Cosmic Voyage (teaches about the solar system). Fifth graders have to pass this area of the science TAKS to be promoted. Animal Exploration uses an animal expert to teach children about the world of animals. Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia teaches about the history, evolution and extinction of dinosaurs. This program supports the Kindergarten and 3rd grade curriculum. Harold and the Purple Crayon (uses drawing/art to express thoughts), Electric Company (music to teach phonics and grammar) and Mrs. Piggle Wiggle (language play) can be used to support reading and writing. Atmospheric pressure would be great for 2nd graders who have to learn about the weather. Young Hercules can be used as an extension to teach 5th graders Greek mythology.
Blinkx seems to contain many YouTube videos. But you can do searches and find great videos such as Bill Nye, Magic School Bus and Texas Native Americans. I found that when you add "kids" or "children" to your search terms you are more apt to get a relevant hit.
Blip.tv would be great to use in animotos. It was designed to assist those who want to create their own videos.
It was good see that the recommended video search engines were Alexa ranked. Many of them could be eliminated as immediately viable.
