PowerCert Animated Videos offer clear and succinct descriptions of big ideas in hardware and networking. I referred to them relatively frequently when I was teaching an introduction to networking course last year..

The current PowerCert video is MAC Address Explained. As the title states, the video discusses what a MAC address is, how its written, where to discover it, and its role in networking. The video likewise does a great task of discussing the crucial distinction in between MAC addresses and IP addresses. A fast explanation of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) ties the essential ideas of the video together..

Applications for Education.
A lot of readers of this blog will never require to know what MAC address is or how it suits the networking process. However, it is great to understand and can helpful to know how to locate it if your IT administrator ever asks for it.

This video is one to bookmark and maybe utilize as an evaluation resource or video-based lesson in a tool like Edpuzzle if you do teach networking.
