CrashCourse YouTube Channel

Just found an AMAZING YouTube channel called CrashCourse that could be used to support your classroom instruction or if you are experimenting with the flipped classroom approach. 

"Hank and John Green are the narrators and they do an astounding job explaining concepts in U.S. History, World History, Chemistry and Biology! Most of you have probably come across them before, but for those who haven't they are worth checking out."
Click here to go to a list of the Episode Titles they have created. There are even some for English Literature. 

The iBoss Clean Search blocks the channel but will still show the videos. SO just search Crash Course and you will be able to see the videos that are offered
