  9. Strengths • Videos are short • Students get a break from me lecturing • Easy to follow and informative • Certain subject areas lack additional content • As the teacher, I will have to supplement the videos

  10. Challenges • Certain subject areas lack additional content • Limited subjects • As the teacher, I will have to supplement the videos

  11. Personal Review • Great resource to supplement instruction within the classroom for a moderate array of subjects. • Personally would utilize the website • Even subjects that I am not so familiar with were easy to follow and learn from
