Technology Can Be Fun

Technology in the classroom these days is a must. However, it doesn't have to be the newest calculator, the fun software, or even the newest gadget. Sometimes the technology that can teach students, or further their understanding is something they probably use every day, the internet. Granted, there are many helpful math sites that students can go on to find information, but that may not be that helpful. A new trend that is going on is uploading fun math videos to YouTube.

Since most people are familiar with YouTube, it is something that can be accessed with little trouble. Not only are the videos entertaining, but they are made to get the point of the lesson across. The videos I have posted below are only a few examples of what can be found on You Tube. You can find anything from counting by one's to finite simple groups. This is just another way to incorporate technology into the classroom, but it also is a lighthearted way to introduce a new concept.

The videos I mentioned can be found here:
