Pythagorean Theorem Rap "a times itself, a squared, b times itself, b squared, c times itself, c squared, a squared plus b squared equals c squared. What!" A cool "hook" for the students prior to teaching the lesson. This link came from TeacherTube and is a good example of using this type of tool in the classroom.
Pythagorean Theorem in 60 Seconds is a great example of a very simple video teaching Pythagorean Theorem. I like this one because of its simplicity. Sometimes the simplest methods can be the best way to convey an idea or concept, even while using a Web 2.0 tool.
A Vision of Students Today Although already posted on the assignment page by Anne Wall, I decided to add it to my blog because it says a lot about what students are going through today while in school. I know that if all this existed back when I was in high school and college (the first time) I would have struggled with all the distractions created by texting, facebook, and surfing the web. It is good that we, as teachers, recognize the world our students live in today. It was my biggest lesson learned in my first year of teaching, just last year.
