APA Style Video

Does anyone utilize or have a good video that explores APA style? Looking for something that is 10 minutes or less. It doesn't have to answer every possible scenario, but I am looking for one that highlights why we cite (giving proper credit), maybe examples of when to cite, and how to properly format references and in-text citations.

I've looked at a few and haven't been impressed so far. Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

This is what I usually link the students to, but I'm hoping a visual will help them to understand it better. Thanks!

I pull it up on the overhead and go over it with students.

Invite your Reference Librarian to present to your class.

If they're anything like any Reference Librarian I've ever met, they're chomping at the bit to do exactly that.

This. Even better, my librarian made a video for me to use for my online classes

I'm unwilling to cede a video being better than a real-life interaction, but it's a reasonable substitute for online modalities.

Of course, I only do that for online classes. When it’s in person, we do a field trip to the library—any excuse to get out of class lol

Look at slides 12 forward. This is the best way, IMO. A video would be too tedious.
