Distance Learning

When using CS First in remote learning environments, consider the following strategies. 

Downloading Videos

All curriculum videos can be downloaded to your device for offline viewing. In a low bandwidth environment, you and/or your students can download the videos prior to class. 

On most browsers, to download videos:

1. Visit the Curriculum page.

2. Select the lesson.

3. Click on the video you need to access.

4. Once the video loads, click on the three vertical dots on the bottom right hand side of the video screen.

5. Click Download. The video will download to your local device.

Transcripts

Transcripts are available for each CS First video. In a low bandwidth environment where you are unable to download or view videos, you can copy the CS First video transcript into a document. The transcript can be shared digitally or printed and shared with students for easy-to-follow written instructions on each lesson. 

To access the transcript for a student video

1. Visit the Curriculum page.

2. Select the lesson.

3. Click on the video you need to access.

4. Click the arrow next to Transcript directly below the video player on the left side.
