Videos in the Classroom

     Think Well is a channel which has a variety of videos which you can use in the classroom.  These videos range from science to mathematics.  He has 38 videos specifically teaching to Calculus . 
     That Tutor Guy gives good advice, also for Calculus, but especially in referring to memorizing the unit circle.  Besides many tips for memorizing the unit circle, he also has videos from derivatives to limits.
     Your Teacher.com has a math help channel, which not only has upper level math classes, but lower level as well.  It seems to be a good sight mostly because it has many different teachers who are in the videos.
      The Ohio Resource Center has a whole selection of videos on tutorials for high school math.  This website also includes math from subjects such as Algebra to Calculus.
     Finally, this channel, Alleyoop, has different videos for different ways you can use math in the real world.  It also has several videos of different careers in which people use math. 

     In Proverbs 22:6 gives advice on how parents should monitor a child's practices or activities.  It to "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it."  This verse is giving great advice in how to raise a child, and monitor his or her activities.  As parents, people should raise their children in such a way that is pleasing to God.
     When it comes to technology, this could relate to many different things.  Some of that includes teaching a child to be wise with what information goes inside one's head, because we are told as Christians to think of things that are noble and good (Philippians 4:8).  This would include teaching where to draw the line, and what the internet should and should not be used for.  God has called us to be pure and holy, and one of the ways we can do this is by using the internet wisely.
     As a teacher, it is hard to monitor a classroom full of computers and teenagers.  The teenagers are going to do what they want, unless they feel held accountable.  As a teacher, it would be wise to find a way to hold the students accountable.  Some ways to do that are to have all the computers facing the teacher, so they can easily see what is going on when the students are on the computer.  Another way is to, as teacher, carefully research the websites and videos you want to use in class before hand, so you have an idea of what to expect, and to ensure there is nothing inappropriate on them.
