PowerCert Animated Videos use clear and succinct 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..

As the title states, the video describes what a MAC address is, how its written, where to discover it, and its function in networking. The video also does an excellent task of discussing the essential difference in between MAC addresses and IP addresses.

Applications for Education.
Many readers of this blog will never ever need to know what MAC address is or how it suits the networking process. It is nice to understand and can practical to understand how to locate it if your IT administrator ever asks for it.

If you do teach networking, this video is one to bookmark and maybe utilize as a review resource or video-based lesson in a tool like Edpuzzle.
