If your in education you've heard the phrase "When am I ever going to use this?" Yes, it still makes my eyes cross and smoke shoot from ears. My favorite response is "You know you're right, we should strive to be as ignorant as possible." Snappy comebacks quickly put an end to the conversation, but they do little in the way of motivating or educating the student. I know I use math all of the time, but it's a bit difficult to tote around 120 students to the grocery store to prove my point. So, I decided to start documenting times when I use math in the real world with a mini video camera. I am currently using a Flip Ultra because of it's simplicity and reasonable price. I'll do a full review on this product soon.Once I've taken the video, I usually edit it with iMovie. This step isn't a necessity, but I like being able to change around the dialogue and add music. Here are four videos I took during the Memorial Day weekend while visiting Gatlinburg TN. I plan on including solutions using eBeam recordings for the next batch.
