Week 2-Video Reflection

I think that using music to teach children things like math is a very good idea. I know that I remember things a lot more when it is turned into a song. I had a math teacher at UVU who would sang songs for us to help us remember formulas and things like that and it made math more bearable. I think in Elementary school it's even more important than college to keep the students interest. However, I did not think the video that I just watched was very helpful. I didn't remember anything he was actually trying to teach in the song, just what he was singing about. I think you should use songs in teaching, but it's best to find ones that are actually helpful in remembering something.
