Just play the video and then have a slide with the 3 questions. Done.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Post it on your Facebook page.<\/strong> Just straight up snatch the video and the discussion guide and put it up there for your students to wrestle with. You\u2019re probably not using that page enough, this is a weekly excuse. Takes 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Send it to parents as something they can use to talk to their kids.<\/strong> Copy\/paste the content, drop in a link to the video, and now you have an excuse to send a weekly newsletter to parents. Drop your announcements for the week above there and I just made you look like a rock star.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Table talk with your own kids or small group.<\/strong> Just pull the video up on your smartphone, hand it to them, and then have a discussion based on the email. No prep time needed, just open the email and you\u2019re done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Are you getting this?<em> How do you use it?\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>Want to subscribe?
