What is Crash Course?

Crash Course is an educational YouTube channel that covers a ton of different subjects. Many teachers and homeschool parents use the series in their classrooms because it is full of so many great learning opportunities.

The Crash Course team has produced more than 15 courses. What makes it more interesting and easy to learn is that Crash Course transforms the traditional textbook learning and presents it in more of a fast-paced format which enhances the learning experience.

You may have noticed the channel listed on my list of homeschool YouTube channels and we enjoyed it so much that I wanted to share a little more about it.

You might be surprised to learn that the author of “The Fault in Our Stars”, John Green and his brother, Hank Green, hosts of Vlogbrothers YouTube channel created the Crash Course channel.

I often write about our life and homeschooling experience. I’ll share different recipes the kids and I have fixed or tried to create. We do some crafts here and there as well. It can be kind of random at times, but I try to share things that I think you might enjoy or find helpful.
