Thing 18 -- You Tube




A teacher at my school discovered this song explanation to help her math students learn the differences between mean, median, and mode. It was frighteningly effective. I heard fifth graders walking around singing it for days after she showed it to them. It really makes clear what sort of learners our students are!


I guess that experience made clear that You Tube could be helpful. I just find that as a teacher I have to moderate between the students and the site, since there is also much that I would prefer they didn't find.
