Final Podcast: Math Movie Minute



For my final podcast, I created the first of a series of "Math Minutes" that will feature demonstrations on how to perform various Mathematics operations. These demos will be embedded on my classroom website and are design for students who are absent, struggling, or sleeping (:) in my class.

I had fun making this and I imagine, as time goes on, this idea will continue to evolve. For some editions, I might have my students film and construct the podcast. I also might have it consist of more video than photos.

I used a trick I learned from Ann a couple of week ago. She had shown me had to save Power Point slides (and slideshows) as JPEG images. It was a nice shortcut in making this. I had originally thought of taking up close photos up the problems written on the marker board in my class, however this seemed to be a better, clearer way to do it.

Now, on to my movie
