Common Craft owners Sachi and Lee LeFever are
dedicated to building a library of videos that are focused on helping influencers and educators create change through better explanations. Our videos are short, simple and focused on making complex ideas easy to understand.
Want to learn more about wikis? blogs? podcasting? social networking? You can find the free, online versions of their videos on The Common Craft Show.
Check out this four-minute video on wikis, for example. Ed Dixon describes how he uses wikis in his classes. How might you use wikis in your instructional practice?
Wow, Lisa, this four-minute video is so well done. I’m going to link to them from the WIC online tutorials page. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you find the resource useful. I really like all of the videos these guys produce; they speak well to nonspecialists.
Wouldn’t it be an interesting project to have students create similar shorts about discipline-specific content from their courses?
