SOCRATICA PRESENTS

Happy New Year, Socratica Friends!

We took an unprecedented 12 whole days offfor the holidays. We’re back in the Studio, refreshed and invigorated and ready to make more educational videos for you! Our New Year’s Resolution is to grow our channel so we can make more videos faster, while maintaining high quality. Easier said than done, but we think this is the year we’ll be able to bring on some part time help, especially with…

We're setting up our Amazon Influencer page w/ book recs https://www.amazon.com/shop/socratica

Socratica doesn’t have any beauty recommendations for you. 

It’s fun, we just don’t have anything to contribute here.

  And we don’t do Follow Me pictures.  We’re mostly sitting at our desks, working. 

Kudos to Murad Osmann for popularizing this new style of photo.

  But we can recommend great books ALL DAY LONG.

  THIS we can do!

  I thought “Influencer” was a term only used for YouTube vloggers…

10 Back to School Tips for Success

We all think of ourselves as eternal students here at Socratica.  That means we get a little thrill every September, even though we’re not in the classroom anymore.

Between us, the Socratica team has a LOT of experience points – both as students and teachers – we’ve learned a lot about how to be do well in school. That collected wisdom is what we’re trying to share in our Study Tips series.

You might have heard: there’s a TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE coming to the US on August 21, 2017.

Are you in the path of totality?

We’re so excited! We made a video explaining SOLAR ECLIPSES and LUNAR ECLIPSES.  Can you explain how these happen?  This is a great video to share with your friends and family before the big event. We describe what causes these…

We’ve been working so hard on our YouTube channel, Socratica.  We just reached an important milestone: 100,000 subscribers! At this point, you receive some recognition from YouTube, including an engraved silver play button plaque.

How to Take Cornell Notes for Middle School Science

We recently received a question from one of our viewers, Tracie Parks, about our Cornell Notes video:

  Tracie found our video about how to take notes helpful, especially because it shows HOW someone would take notes during a lecture, using a specific lecture!  This video features one of our videos about the History of the Atom as an example.
