Instructional Ideas
  • Bring into a collaboration session or department meeting when discussing learning styles and study skills
  • Have individuals watch the video at home and turn in their notes for credit
Classroom Considerations

  • Contains a joke about Gandhi having a nuclear bomb in Civ 5, which is the computer game Civilizations 5 and may go over some learners' heads

  • The final minute of the video is an advertisement for the episode's sponsor
  • This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
