Classroom Considerations
  • This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
  • Simple introduction to using information about the mouse's location to draw an object
  • Clear explanation 
Cons
  • At the time of this review, the video has a bug and stops working about halfway through. The speaker's voice is clear, but the coding demonstration doesn't continue. This might be an excellent opportunity for your class to work out precisely what the speaker intended to show on their own.
