    Teacher's Notes are found under most Treehouse videos. 0:00
    Treehouse instructors use Teacher's Notes to provide vocabulary, 0:05
    to include links to articles and documentation, 0:09
    and even additional instructions for 0:13
    completing the exercise covered in the video. 0:15
    You might occasionally find links to additional Treehouse videos 0:18
    in the Teacher's Notes if a teacher references a technique that's 0:22
    covered in a separate course or workshop. 0:27
    In this case, Treasure has given us definitions of HTML and 0:30
    CSS with links to learn more about them 0:34
    as well as a list of websites referenced in the video, 0:37
    in case you'd like to check them out yourself. 0:40
    Questions is the next link after Teacher's Notes. 0:44
    This is where you'll find student questions and 0:48
    answers pertaining to this video. Some of these questions 0:51
    are posted by students who are stuck on a challenge and looking for help, 0:55
    while others seek discussion on a more general concept. 0:58
    We'll go over posting your own question in an upcoming video but 1:03
    you can also learn a lot from reading questions other students have asked. 1:07
    After questions comes the Video Transcript. 1:13
    A nice feature of the transcript is that it's searchable. 1:18
    Let's say I remembered the term hexadecimal was mentioned somewhere 1:22
    in this video, but I couldn't recall where. 1:27
    With the transcript showing, I'll press Cmd+F on a Mac or 1:30
    Ctrl+F on a PC and type my search term. 1:34
    And here it is around the 3:30 mark. 1:40
    The transcript is clickable, so clicking on the sentence discussing 1:43
    hexadecimal values will advance the video to the appropriate spot. 1:48
    The Downloads tab is most often used for 1:58
    Project Files, which take the form of a downloadable zip file. 2:02
    Instructors won't include a Project Files download with every video, 2:07
    but this one has one. 2:12
    I'll go ahead and download and unzip the file. 2:13
    And it reveals a folder containing files that form a sample website. 2:21
    In some courses, instructors will provide a set of design or 2:26
    coding files reflecting the progress achieved in each video. 2:30
    This is useful if I want to follow along using software on my own computer. 2:36
    We'll come back to workspaces a bit later in this workshop. 2:42
    But first, we'll examine two other types of learning found in Treehouse courses, 2:47
    quizzes and code challenges. 2:52
