WORLD
HISTORY CRASH COURSE VIDEOS, YEAR 1 AND 2
John Green, Best-Selling New York Times
Author (The Fault is in Our Stars, Paper Towns) and
DFTBA co-initiator, with
his brother Hank, have a new channel on Youtube called "Crash Course: World
History." It is devoted to teaching World History in a very fun and engaging way
through Youtube videos. Very, very good work!
These videos started after John and his brother Hank began making videos on
YouTube as a way of communicating with each other. Every once in a while they
would do a video on an education topic. Like,
The French Revolution or the
2007 Banking Crisis. YouTube decided in 2011 to start making "Channels" of
original content and use some of it's most successful video 'stars' to do the
channels. Hence
John and
Hank's Crash Course Channel.
We will be using many of these videos in class. After successfully completing
the weekly Year 1 World History, John began Year 2 World History on July 10,
2014. Some great review material here....
