This is a good tool to gain a basic introduction on a subject you are going to teach. I used this with my special ed students.

How I Use It

Videos are short, so they are great to add engagement to a lesson. We deepened understanding after the video. It is a great start.

My Take

I think that this website can take complex ideas and break them down for kids. It usually provides a simple definition of a concept, along with a few details that can be expanded on during instruction. The website offers quizzes and some other bells and whistles, but I wouldn't use this as sole instruction on a topic.
