Community Review for Virtual Nerd
My Take
Excellent resource for various forms of independent and group learning. It could easily be used for a flipped lesson or for advanced learners to explain concepts.
How I Use It
I would use these videos as explanation, for QR code links on activity stations, or for flipped learning at home. Even for my elementary students, the middle school math explanations are adequate and not above their learning level for many concepts.

I especially like the clear way she writes on the board. This is one of may favorite video sites for teaching.

My students complained about the teacher voice on VirtualNerd, but eventually (when we switched to the other tool) wanted to go back to VirtualNerd!
