  • There are various features at the site including information for teachers and a search bar as well as:
  • Subject area videos
    • Select the subject area from the front page
    • Then choose the subject matter from that category on the next page.
    • You will then see a page with a video (press Zoom+ to enlarge the video). There are other features on that page too.
  Using in Class

Generally, preview the day(s) before, and then, when ready to show your class, book a projector according to the LCD Projector policy and view the same movie projected from your classroom computer.

  Do's/Don't's
  • Best for in class viewing with LCD projector. Do NOT book A104 to project a video from one computer unless part of some other activity.
  • Flash Player objects, whether streamed or downloaded, still have to travel through the connection to your computer. Therefore, since these objects create network traffic. Use them sparingly.
