Video Resource

Anne Koschmider , thanks for sharing. I've only been able to have a peek at them, but they look fantastic.

John Vidoli didn't you mention teaching some US History this year? They also have a series for US History pre-1865 if there's anything that might be of use. 

Well, thank you for that. I was hoping. I'm also hoping to be back teaching World History next year. I should find out next week.

Thank you for sharing these Anne Koschmider ! Totally going to share with the Global History teachers in my building that are starting to prepare their students for our state regents exam. 

I see crash course also has collaborated with them on this. Love crash course & the Green brothers' videos. I will say though, whenever I've suggested using those videos as a study tool or used them in the classroom, the main feedback from students was that John Green spoke a little bit too fast. These videos are not so fast and are easier to understand. All while keeping the same style of awesome crash course visuals! 

Adriane Musacchio agreed! I love a good Crash Course video, but students have a hard time sorting out key points when the host speaks at such a rapid clip. I noticed that John Green speaks slower in the second round of World History videos and in the European History series, so I'm guessing the Crash Course folks have received that feedback. There are also a few cultural and (no longer) current event references in the original videos that don't click for students watching 10 years later. 

I'm also excited for the Psychology series Study Hall is developing. Spread the word if you have psych teachers that might be interested!

Anne Koschmider , I've started using those videos with my WHP Origins class. I really liked the Columbian Exchange video. As much as I like the John Green videos, these have been a fresh update!

ERIN CUNNINGHAM it's great to hear from someone who has "field tested" these videos - thank you! I try to avoid duplicating resources in my on-level and AP World courses, so knowing that there's a solid alternative for the Columbian Exchange is great news!

Happy to be of service! I have more or less phased out the original World History Crash Course videos and replaced them with the Study Hall videos or Daily Dose videos that John Vidoli recommended in another post.

Yes! Those Daily Dose videos look great. I'm going to add some in next year. I've also been getting some great materials from Retro Report. I signed up for the newsletter to get notified of new content, since they are putting materials out regularly. I've also been impressed by the accompanying lesson materials.

Oh I had no idea they are also expanding and adding a Psychology series! We have a psychology elective- I will definitely share this news with the teacher who teaches the course! Love that they are expanding their videos- they are so great. I found CC to be such a great study tool in college, these videos also seem so valuable for the same reasons!
