My Take
Virtual Nerd videos are some of the best out there. They are well organized and get right to the point. The notes that appear as the teacher is talking is great for kids who struggle with note taking. I would love to use the online formative quizzes but unfortunately those come at a fee.
How I Use It
Virtual Nerd works great to leave as part of sub plans. If I cannot be in school, links to video lectures can help support kids especially when you don't have a math sub. Virtual Nerd also supports kids who get stuck at home working on homework. Kids who want to work ahead or who have been absent will also find it helpful.

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

After the quizzes were taken off, we switched to another tool that students had much more difficulty with. My students complained about the teacher voice on VirtualNerd, but eventually (when we switched to the other tool) wanted to go back to VirtualNerd!
