Computer video is an emerging method for presenting mathematics with the time dimension intact. There are a number of ways that moving pictures can be used in the classroom. We are on the verge of a visual information revolution. Unlike in the past, where we could only borrow professionally made movies for the classroom, now they can be taylor-made by teachers, or by students themselves. Teachers can make videos with content specific to their class.
Students can make movies that document their activities or the progress of an experiment.
This Apple Education's site presents a fun way to learn the basics of video production. If you have iMovie software and a still digital camera, have your students take pictures and then load them into your computer to create a movie. You'll be surprised at how simple it is for your students to do this. To emphasize the importance of safety on the playground, have students produce a video showing the correct and cooperative actions during recess. They'll love planning and filming.
