ITQ Project Abstract
Our project primarily involves
video editing. My partner, Scott Burns, and I plan to use video in a few ways.
- Convert videotapes to digital video so that we may use iMovie, Photoshop
Express, or Final Cut Express to edit and add text. One video clip is from
This Old House and shows them using the Pythagorean Theorem. We want to add
text that instructs students about the Pythagorean Theorem and its uses.
- Videotape student demonstrations of classwork over time to create a video
portfolio of the student's math work. This may be used to allow the student
to see their growth in math skills and to share with parents.
- Prepare several math clips that may be used in class and organize them
so that they may be retrieved from a DVD or from a server.
Geometry can be more meaningful to students when they can see it used in practical
applications. Finding and using geometry in applied situations allows students
to develop their math skills in a relevant context.
