Teach Me How to Factor

There is nothing that I love more than when teachers and students break boundaries to learn new material.  LOVE IT!  Westerville High School is a prime example.  They have a YouTube channel with 6 different videos taking math concepts and putting them to popular lyrics.  My favorite is "Teach Me How To Factor" to the tune of "Teach Me How to Dougie".  Not even going to lie, I love it!  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

I bet every single one of these students know the revised lyrics and have will always remember how to factor!  If you enjoyed this video be sure to check out their YouTube Channel.  All six videos are awesome.  I cannot wait to see what they come up with next!  Another favorite channel by teachers is HistoryTeachers, here they take historical events to popular songs.  My favorite of theirs is the Black Death  Do you know of any others?  I would LOVE to hear these- one of my favorite things ever!

Turn Your Mac into a Hotspot

I learned something new today!  Wahoo!  Those days are the BEST and to boot it was within the first 30 minutes of the day- Thank you Mr. P.  We have a internet signal in the school that we cannot figure out where it is coming from.  Our tech director had a hunch that someone had turned one of the iMacs into a hotspot.  What?!?!?!? Shut the front door!  I had NO IDEA that it was possible!  Oh course, I go to Google and check it out and found an awesome tutorial from MacYourself and it worked.  The tutorial is only, you know 3 years old but hey whatever!  So check the tutorial out and turn your standard internet connection wireless.  :-D  Enjoy!
