iMovie Upload

It certainly was an adventure trying to make an iMovie. I would like to try uploading my Japan pictures with my step-son's Mac. It was fairly easy, except trying to get the music/sounds to work the way I wanted it. Oh well. Currently, YouTube said it would be several hours before my video could be viewed. When available I will embed it into this post.

Using "Tube"

I have been using YouTube for about two months to study for the Praxis II exam. I am using math instructors to help me get reacquainted with some algebra and trigonometry concepts. It works great because I can access YouTube from the V.A. office on campus (where I work) and watch math lessons.

These three videos are from a subscription on YouTube called “MathTV”. The lecturer has various videos on algebra, trig, and calculus. I am also current subscribed to “yourteachermathhelp” and “MIT” (from actually classes at MIT!). I need to explore for other mathematics subscriptions.

These three videos from "MathTV" are 2 lessons on trigonometry. (I have also noticed that many lessons have requested that their "embeds" be disabled. Therefore I will not be able to embed them into a blog.)

Use of Jeopardy PPT

I believe the use of the Jeopardy PPT will be useful to me in the mathematics classroom. However, I may have to bend the rules of the original game by posting the questions first, then make them give the answer. The game board I would leave the same.
As a two-time P250 peer mentor and going into my second semester of U100 peer mentor, I have found PPT games like Jeopardy and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire useful. My mentorees want to play them and they learn from the questions and answers.
