Tool #8

The first video is "Mathmaticious" and is a great video that a student made, I am guessing, for a project. It is a bit rough but very good, and not only shows the student spent alot of time on the video, but that he had a great knowledge of computers. We do a few projects a year in Geometry, and I would show this video from Teacher Tube to offer this as an idea for presenting a project. Students love making videos/movies and posting them for others to share. This also allows students to be creative.
The second video is just a really well done video from SchoolTube and I thought it was a good example of how videos can be made and done well. It would serve as another example how videos can be made and again this would be great for project presentations or even to demonstrate how to teach a topic. And now that I am a member of SchoolTube we can share our videos with each other and those outside of our school. This could also be used for collaboration and constructive critiquing.
Finding these videos has been fun and a great way to show my students the possibilities that the internet allows.
