Hey #EnergyTwitter!

Many of you are in the throes of preparing to teach your energy courses online or homeschooling. Well, it turns out I’ve spent much of the last 7 years creating a variety of online energy literacy resources, the vast preponderance of which is FREE. [THREAD]
The primary collection of online educational content I created is Energy101. We made it for a MOOC that had 40k+ students globally. It covers energy basics, fuels, sectors, & cross-cutting topics. Here are 30 video lectures; they are dated, but FREE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNj4-L0QtXnTUy0R9c2QNsGWhNH0pV1fr
We also made an online curriculum (w/embedded quizzes for tracking progress!) as an outgrowth of that course. It costs $75-95 & has been adopted at high schools and universities (Stanford, Duke, UMD, Colorado State, UT Austin, Princeton, and Penn State): http://www.energy101.com 
For a collection of FREE materials suitable for K-12, please visit Smart Energy Education, which was built with support from @ItronInc @discolearning @cpsenergy @klrn @DiscoveryEdu the Texas State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) and @UTAustin --> http://smartenergyeducation.com 
That suite of materials includes the FREE program Resourcefulness, which is good for middle school students & introduces key topics related to water & energy. This curriculum is based on my book “Thirst for Power: Energy Water and Human Survival” --> http://stem.guide 
Do your children or students like video games? Elements of Resourcefulness were also included in Minecraft Education @PlayCraftLearn -- it includes lesson plans and activities. --> https://education.minecraft.net/lessons/renewable-energy/
Smart Energy Education also includes WattWatchers, which is a FREE set of activities appropriate for elementary students. It has downloadable assets & activity sheets that focus on energy with an emphasis on conservation, efficiency and sustainability --> http://watt-watchers.com 
Here is a series of four FREE YouTube videos for a series called “Ask Dr. Webber”. For this series, I answer energy questions from 3rd graders, including “Why can’t we use lightning as a source of energy?” --> https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNj4-L0QtXnQyJBqZzOPsEWJOXS6KMGcX
My book “Thirst for Power: Energy, Water and Human Survival” ( @YalePress 2016) introduces key topics related to the energy-water nexus. It is available in hardcover, ebook or audio book for $20 or less --> https://thirstforpower.com/the-book/ 
The excellent production team at @alpheusmedia made a 1-hour documentary called Thirst for Power that was based on the book of the same name --> https://thirstforpower.com/the-film/ 
Here is a trailer for Thirst for Power -->
The documentary can be licensed from The Video Project for virtual or in-classroom screenings for K-12 ($89) or colleges ($250 to 350 w/digital license) --> https://www.videoproject.com/Thirst-for-Power.html

It is available in hardcover, ebook or audio book for $20 or less --> https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/michael-e-webber/power-trip/9781541644397/
The excellent production team @alpheusmedia made a 6-part documentary series called “Power Trip: The Story of Energy” that was based on the book of the same name. The series will be available on @PBS and @PrimeVideo starting Earth Day (April 22, 2020)--> https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=NSoGHXXj29k
My PBS Special “Energy at the Movies”, which was in national syndication 2013-2015, teaches the energy basics by using movie clips. The website is here http://energyatthemovies.com  and the special can be viewed FREE here --> https://www.pbs.org/video/klru-presents-energy-movies/
I hope you find these online or printed materials helpful for your teaching needs. If you need additional information or I can support your movement to online/virtual teaching or your homeschooling efforts please let me know! Best of luck. [END]
