Here is my updated entry into the "mtt2k" contest - I changed "four multiplied by itself" to two factors of four to get the real math words in there instead of ambiguous phrases, and added credits at the end. (Seems there's a fairly long pause between the end and the credits... hey, I"m new at this... )

    My point is not to "make fun" of the Khan Academy  --  my point is to say that if you're going to try to do "revolutionary" things with technology, you should start with what you want to teach and use the technology as a tool,  and approach it with scholarly standards... and you can still have fun.  There are far, far too many students who are convinced that they either can't do math at all, or that yes, they can survive it -- but that understanding it is reserved for those Really Smart Math People.   Videos that only teach procedure reinforce that, which stinks. 
    I'd welcome comments on my lessons (some that I've received are reflected in the little tweaks).   It was watching the KA videos that inspired me to sign up for 2D animation, tho' ironically, it's the one assignment that was an active parody of KA that didn't make sense for this contest.
