Commercial Breaks

How many of us use PowerPoint presentations to supplement the lectures we give?
How many students seem bored or start dozing off?

Here is something I got from my advisor in college that helps to rejuvenate student interest.

Commercial Breaks!



Embed subject oriented videos from YouTube into your PowerPoint presentations.

Check out some of these GREAT history oriented YouTube channels...

However, sometimes your students need a 60 second break from all things educational.  Do a Youtube search for 'commercials from the 1950's'.  The results are funny, harmless and can be helpful in waking up the brain.
