Teach Me How to Study!

For one of our interactivities, we had to come up with a list of helpful pieces of technology to use in a math classroom. One of those technologies, however, could be used for just about any subject. The website called SchoolTube, is very similar to that of YouTube. Instead of  a plethora of videos of dogs doing funny tricks or kids laughing at jokes, this website provides entertaining videos authored by students and/or teachers which have some educational value to them. One video really caught my attention, set to the beat of the popular song "Teach Me How To Dougie", but instead is entitled "Teach Me How to Study". It's a very clever way of getting across to fellow students some tips on creating successful study habits, all set to a beat of a song. We remember the lyrics to songs because we enjoy listening to them, so applying that same attitude towards educational concepts can be very helpful and entertaining in a classroom setting. Authoring/listening to educationally sound songs can help students retain information they might otherwise forget if taught by way of lecture and note-taking.

Here is the link to the video, "Teach Me How to Study" uploaded by user MsDumas.. Enjoy watching!
