My rating of this resource: *****

My experience using this resource:
Physics

Topic I was teaching:
Any topic is good.....doing a search for videos tagged physics gives 20.000

My learning goal for which this resource was used:
To give students a more real world source of a topic we are covering in class.

Course Level:
A.P., Honors or Advanced, Intro or Regular, Remedial

How I/my students used the resource:
The video is used either to introduce a topic or a connection to a topic we have just covered. As an example using Newton laws as a seach you come up with 180 videos, some of these are very interesting ways to look at the laws and are produced by students and these get kids interested in the topic

Value Added:
Provides visualization or animation, Provides additional content, Increases student engagement and motivation

Strengths:
Very big resource of videos in all topics and interests

Weaknesses:
Not all are good quality and some are just wrong in the science they are talking about
