My Take
My first impression was that it was well organized. This matters as I do not have a ton of time to search and figure out websites. This will also be helpful for students. The videos are of great quality and not taken from Khan Academy. The only downside is that some of my students do not like the teacher's voice. That is minor.
How I Use It
I use this during class for supplemental explanations. Additionally, I will guide parents to these videos if they find their child is still struggling with a concept at home. These would be ideal for a flipped classroom and I plan to implement such a set up in the future. We also add these to our My Big Campus Bundles. Perfect Resource!!!
