Hi, I am a teacher at a middle school in Ohio, I just shared your electoral college video with my kids and thy got it!!!!! Your explanation is the best I have ever seen. Now my kids want more of your stuff. Just thought you'd like a big cheer from Ohio.
Here's to kids getting it! Yay! The video is here.
We've been serving up fresh content here since 2003. Lee is the primary blogger and we talk about our videos, business and the art of explanation.
Common Craft has a history of making custom videos. But now we are more focused on videos we can offer on this website.
If you're looking for a custom video, our Explainer Network of video producers can help.
Want to find out more about how to use our videos? Then check out this video!
Our Latest Twitter: Here's a blog post that discusses the resolution to the video issue yesterday: http://tinyurl.com/lc4meo

We'll make sure you know when new videos are published.
Great Job!
It's great to hear that the US schools are using your videos. You do such a wonderful job of explaining things in plain English! I wish you'd do a video for each of our Canadian political parties' platforms so we could better understand what is actually on offer! Keep up the good work. I always look forward to the next release.
Brilliance
You guys are brilliant! It has been great watching your work show up from PR Web to Twitter...Google Docs. Great, great job! Julie http://www.sandiegotraveltips.com
Commoncraft always comes through!
Anytime something is a little unclear for me on the web (last time it was how to use Twitter) I come here to see if you've done a video on it. Usually you have and I can get up to speed in a matter of minutes - thanks!! :o) I posted on our Litmos blog about you guys yesterday as we are a training course delivery platform that have just increased our video upload capabilities within training courses. I thought some of our users, who are of course trainers, could benefit from watching your videos. Hopefully they will see how simple, concise and effective (yet quirky in their own way) your videos are and see the benefits of bringing it back to basics for their trainees! Thanks again, Nicole Fougere
Greatest reward
I believe this is the best reward possible for you guys! Congratulations and keep creating more useful videos
From US Schools to other countries
I love to hear about US schools using distributed video and I think this could be a method of standardizing education to some degree in 3rd world countries. Thanks for your efforts !!!
Fantastic! Thank you for everything you do!
Unfortunately, our wonderful filters are busy protecting us from YouTube in our school district. (Grrrrrrrr.)
Good to hear
Isn't it great to hear feedback like that? I'm not surprised to hear the video worked for kids -- I showed the same video to a few adults and they better understood the process. Sometimes us old folks are a more difficult audience to teach.
Awesome!
Lee, I knew from the very beginning that you had something here. Your explanations are truely easy to follow and understand. I didn't know what google docs was until you explained it and I probably would have never know what they were if it wasn't for you and your wife. Keep up the good work!
