Explaining in Plain English

Do you ever have a topic that your students or perhaps other faculty members just don't seem to get?  Common Craft Productions take these issues and explain it in plain English!



According to the Common Craft Website their overview state: "Our videos may surprise you. They're short and simple. They use paper cut-outs. They cover subjects "in Plain English." But lurking under the simple surface are lessons that have been crafted with great care. Despite our fun and lighthearted style, we take explanation seriously."

You can watch their videos, in-full, on their site, or you can purchase them to use in your classroom, and other uses.  The individual license is $20 per video to use in your classroom.  They do offer school discounts by contacting them.  This link here is the overview on how to buy.
I am not going to embed any videos here, but instead send you over to their site so you can take a look at everything they offer.  Click here to view their site.

 


They do offer custom videos that you can create with them.  They are available for a limited number of custom videos.  Here's a few examples of custom explanation videos here.  The projects include
  • Short videos in the paper work style
  • original script, artwork, and creative direction
  • Voice-over by one of the company owners
