Crash Course
Curriculum Content in 10-15 minute bites

"Are we going to watch a movie today?"
"Isn't there a video about this?"
"Can we go on YouTube?"

How many times have you heard these questions in class?  Now the answers can be Yes. Yes. and Yes.

John Green,  author of the young adult bestsellers The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns, has joined with his brother, Hank, to create a YouTube channel called Crash Course.  Over 400 videos explain content in science, social studies, and English, accompanied by eye-catching, humorous animation.  The videos are each around 10 minutes, but there is a lot of information packed into each clip.  You can search the videos by topic, or check out the playlists (below) where videos are organized by courses.

Whether using a Crash Course video to introduce, review, or reinforce material, it is a fun and informative way to incorporate multimodal learning in your classroom.
