FAQs are grouped by topic areas organized alphabetically on this page.

Search Functions:

1.  How can I search for videos on the website?  Videos are searchable by keyword, category, standards and Video ID.  Just click on “Search” on the home page or View Tutorial 1:  How to Use Our Search Features.
2.  How do I search for videos by standards?  View Tutorial 8:  Using Our Standards Search Features or download Using the Standards Search Feature.pdf.
3.  What is meant by the “Video ID” search and how do I use it?  The “ID” search enables a user to find a specific video based on the word and number provided before the colon in each of our video titles.  For example, the unique ID in the video entitled “Weather 1:  What tools are used to forecast the weather?” is “Weather-1.”  This search function is designed to let teachers assign students to watch a specific video, have the student select “ID” for their search, type the unique ID in the keyword box or scroll down for its listing, and have only that video appear as a search result.  Information about this search function is also mentioned in Tutorial 1:  How to Use Our Search Features.
