theelfqueen Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I've decided to add more Crash Course videos to our Biology and Econ text studies... I've used them occasionally before but now I'm going to use them in a more systematic way. So, if you have used them -- did you use any specific additional resources for say guided notetaking alongside them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I think they move too fast for guided note taking. I use them in the Bio class I teach, but I have my kids watch *after* they read/take notes from text. You could also use them as a preview then re-cap, with your main text/resource in the middle. However, the A&P videos could probably used more along the lines of what you are thinking if you are using them for general bio. They are "crash course" for a full A&P class, but detailed are more drawn out if used in general bio. Eg you might spend 2-3 days in general bio on lymphatic/immune system and there is 1 crash course Biology video, or there are 3 crash course A&P videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theelfqueen Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) We're using them to supplement M&L ... DS is already doing notes out of each of the book chapter sub-sections and I've reordered the remaining videos to the match the text sections (the ones we haven't covered yet, not planning to use all of CC). I think I'm leaning toward having him watch them before the readings as an introduction. I'm not really sure he need notes on them, specifically. Hmmmm ..... thinking about it. I just didn't want to miss any great resources that support them - if someone's been blogging all about the great ways they're using them or something that I'm missing. KWIM?

Luckymama Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 We just use them as is, no note taking, maybe some further discussion. Dd sometimes watches them before the reading and sometimes after. For psych she prefers to watch the videos before the book. She watched bio videos after.

Chrysalis Academy Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yes, we watched together and discussed, too. No note-taking, they move way too fast! Usually it was better to use them (history) after reading about the topic, they were thought provoking and invited discussion. The Ecology ones we just watched. I haven't used Bio or Chem yet.
