The YouTube video attached shows how technology can improve the understanding of patterns. Using the computer, the interactive games help associate the arithmetic progression. It does go into larger and more complicated equations, but the bases of the principle is there. It shows how the interactive programs establish that concert floor of arithmetic progression. That way later on in a higher grade the foundation is extremely strong. Noticing pattern progression is not just a math skill, you can see that in all aspects of life.
TED-Ed is one tool that I was the most interested in. It is a platform that allows creating educational lessons with collaboration of many parties. To implement this tool in my classroom it would be very difficult. Making the TED-Ed would not be easy for my classroom, but watching them would be. It would allow me to expand on the topic that we are already covering. Having the students watch the video and give feedback on what they did and did not like would be the easiest route.
