This short (10 minute) video will provide you with a jumping off point for your teaching! It is not exhaustive (what 10 minute video is?) but we hope it will help you get started and also provide resources as you dig deeper.

As you watch the video, think as well about how you could incorporate short videos into your classes, both the online class and the face to face ones. Students today often reach for videos when they are learning something new; videos can be helpful for international students, or any student who may have trouble with verbal lectures. Videos can also provide a source of review for difficult concepts you may cover in class.
