I LOVE school house rock! What a fun way for the students to be engaged and learn! Heck if I still like it and I'm this old you can bet that younger kids will as well! I really think that using lyrics to memorize things is a great source! However, just because you know what the words are it doesn't mean that you understand the material in the lyric. I think that if they could "re vamp" the school house rock series and make it more modern even more students would be engaged. They have these videos for all things, like making a bill, learning fractions and etc. You could create a map quest using the school house rock that would be very educational. My favorite part about this video was the sounds. Like I said I had to watch it a few times before I actually got the understanding and I wasn't just hearing words. I feel as though it would be the same for my future students. I would also take it to the next level and have my students come up with there own song. Such as a song for remembering the planets, or fractions, or English rules.
