Tool # 8: Video Resources

I chose two videos:

Counting Numbers 1 to 10

and
Rhyme: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Once I Caught a Fish Alive

I chose a nursery rhyme because it has been shown that combining rhymes with music may aid in the educational development of a child. Some research indicates that musical rhymes improve better performance in Mathematics and Science.

Showing videos to kids is a great approach because it promotes their curiosity and fosters self-learning.

The two videos included here were taken from Neok12, (http://www.neok12.com/aboutus.htm), a web site dedicated to high quality, pre-screened, educational videos, games and lessons for K-12 school kids.
