I am teaching a 16 hour 2 day ceu class to electricians using Mikes 2011 changes book. I was going to throw in a few videos to add some relief for me and the class. Has anybody done this?

I have used web content in PP presentations for in house training (i have 8 employees in a Maint Shop) at the Co I work for. But I don't teach for a living. I try my best to make sure credit is given for the source or is free range chicken. There is some darn good stuff out there and a big thank you to those who share their knowledge, like the good folks here.

I would love any videos that helps pass the time:grin:

Two suggestions:

1. Don't violate anyone's copyright. Giving them credit is not enough. If they have a copyright statement on or near the video (and I don't think I have seen anything like this on youtube before), then look for another video to use.
2. Don't rely on an Internet connection to be functional during your presentation. Copy the video to your hard drive or a jump drive, and run it from there.

I think that is a very wise way to go, or at least have plan B in place when it turns out Y-Tube is running slow, or the video was pulled etc.

I agree with the others. You definetly need a break after all those calculations. Check this out... it's serious http://www.youtube.com/user/ChapelHillElectric#p/f/9/B-5Erq7Co0E

Instead of a video how about putting these up one at a time. Someone posted these before and I thought they were fun. Test them and see how well they do. :grin:


1. What color is a green ground screw?______________________

2. Electricity will leak out of pipes if you do not use rain tight fittings. T F

3. To trip a circuit breaker, you must stick out your foot as it walks by. T F

4. When dealing with conduit, the O.D. must exceed the I.D. or the hole will be on the outside. T F

5. A keyless fixture cannot be unlocked. T F

6. A circuit breaker reads "20" on the handle. This means it can trip 20 times before it is worn out. T F

7. If you plug something 110 volts into a 120 volt outlet, you will have 10 volts leakage. T F

8. When hooking up a 220 volt device, you must use 220 volt wire. T F

9. The gauge number of a wire is the number of plugs the wire can handle. T F

10. A flush mount device may only be hooked up to a toilet. T F

11. An ohm is a Hindu measurement of voltage. T F

12. Electrical Inspectors are also know as: _____________________

13. Service Entrance Conductors direct from the supply house with current already in them are very dangerous. T F

14. High voltage wire is used on upper levels of tall buildings whereas low voltage wire is usually found in the basement or underground. T F

15. If you have a molded-case circuit breaker, the mold can be washed off with warm soapy water. T F

16. Three ECs enter an empty room and lock the only entrance: the door. All have on a tool-belt with a regular screwdriver, a pair of lineman's pliers, and a roll of Scotch-33. The light overhead is supplied by a sinusoidal voltage source and the light has a 0.935% power factor. Harmonics are not a factor, but the Carnot Cycle might be. The next morning, all three ECs leave the room and lock the door behind them. How many ECs are left in the room? __________

Two days makes a long class. I take mikes 2 day class and teach it in one day, but cover less changes from Chapters 5-8.
Videos are an excellent addition. I have some from Siemens on AFCIs I use. Most companies post there videos on You Tube so its a good place to start.

Advice.....do not use any of Mike's copyrighted information on anything like YouTube. He lets educators use it in seminars but use any portion of it (even to help promote him as well) will cause a wrath of holt you dont want......<---wisdom inserted !

Yep, I use funny videos to get people back in their seats after breaks and lunch. Works great.
