Videos in Education

I envision showing this video on the first day of class. I would show it to a group of middle students. I see it as an attention getter for the students. I would hope it would create a comfort level in that they would understand my class humor and openness for untraditional ways of learning. Students may be more intrigued to learn math if they are provided with the opportunity to use humor and creative gestures to present their learning. This would be a great opener and can even be used to lead into an ice-breaking activity. Even though they may not “learn” from this video, it will still inspire them to open their minds to differentiated learning, especially in the subject of mathematics.
