Make Math Fun With Technology
I am wandering around YouTube and I find this video very interesting. This is a Halloween video trick of Math teacher at Biola University, October 28, 2009. He experimenting video editing and mixing video with live action.
He wasn’t actually trying to teach anything with the video – it was just for fun. This was the last 5 minutes of a 75 minute class – he actually taught real math for the first 70 minutes. He try to keep it lively by doing little fun things like this once in a while.
He used Pinnacle Studio Ultimate, version 12.1 – the “picture-in-picture” feature for the special effects. He filmed it with a simple Panasonic PV-GS35 MiniDV camcorder.
This was filmed with a video camera on a tripod in the back of class, with about 80 people in class that day. Those are real people, not a laugh track. The class is called “Nature of Math,” and is a general education class for non-math people. They do some basic math and study the history and philosophy of math.
Cheers!
