Instructional Ideas

  • Flip the classroom; assign the video as homework and discuss its contents in class the next day 
  • Choose closed captioning for learners to follow along and support note taking
  • If a class member is absent, give him or her the link to watch so they can catch-up on missed information 

Classroom Considerations

  • This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

  • Presents a significant amount of information in a short amount of time
  • Provides information alongside animated graphics    

Cons
