However, the scans could have been made a little bit more reader-friendly by cropping them to individual pages rather than double-page spreads.

The videos are incredible and made me think a lot about different ways of teaching as well as why is it so important to connect with students or people in general and no just teach them something and leave.
It is very useful for teachers once it makes them aware of the importance of dealing with their own emotions to better connect with their students and help them develop a love of learning.
