PowerCert Animated Videos provide succinct and clear descriptions of huge ideas in computer system hardware and networking. I referred to them fairly often when I was teaching an intro to networking course last year..

The current PowerCert video is MAC Address Explained. As the title states, the video describes what a MAC address is, how its composed, where to discover it, and its function in networking. The video also does a great task of describing the key distinction in between MAC addresses and IP addresses. Lastly, a quick description of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) connects the crucial principles of the video together..

Applications for Education.
Most readers of this blog site will never ever need to know what MAC address is or how it fits into the networking process. Nevertheless, it is nice to know and can valuable to understand 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.
