In my university days, a few of the professors would record classes on VHS tapes that were made available at the library. I would attend class, but occasionally I would go to the library to watch the videos for review. I think we have much more opportunity now to access much more content.

I think you need good subject matter experts to team up with a tech person to create curated material. You also need some way to ask questions if you get stuck on something.

I gave it a shot at teaching a few lessons on how to program with Scratch to grades 1-5. I setup 3 simple lessons ( see my profile ) and provided a way for kids to ask questions via a simple form.

The last thing you need is time with the kids in my opinion, kids will show interest in something if you are taking part in it.
