Make a Playlist

Option 1: Surely you’ve got a list of links to videos that you like to use in your classes. Take a few minutes to dig out the list and start putting them together in a playlist. Try all of the editing features as well.

Option 2: Think of a topic that you'd like to develop a playlist for. Use your search and filter skills to find videos that might meet your needs. Add them to a playlist for you to review later.
