COVID 19 UPDATE: Quick way for teachers to film videos at home. |

Overview
I've been making videos for my classes since 2009 and I continue to find new and exciting uses of video for teaching.

Making videos can be time consuming. Before you start, check out the channels of some other teachers. You will get a sense of what you like and don't like about each.
