The tips in the video may be a old news to some of us, but to a lot of students and teachers those tips are new. It also never hurts to remind people of these tips.

Common Craft videos can be reviewed online for evaluation purposes. To use embed them into a blog as I’ve done requires a membership (which are very reasonably priced).
