Tonight we worked with the beginnings of podcasting. It seems pretty cool. I liked how easy Audacity was to use. We just had to hook up the microphone and start talking. Editing was easy too. Amazing how a few clicks can make you sound very well spoken. ;-) I think that students would really like recording and making audio files.
It would be really cool if I could make some "how to" audio/video presentations for solving different types of math problems (such as factoring) and put them on my school page. That way, if a student forgot how to solve a problem they can check it out online and get the help they need, even if they are not at school.
However, I don't know how to do the video part yet and I would need help synching up the audio. I will also need help on getting the file put onto the web. I think this sounds like a good project for next semester/this summer, depending on how long it takes me to figure it out.
I would also like to put together some type of project for my students where they look at how math is used in different careers and in every day life. I'm still in the very early planning stages, so I'm not sure what technology will work the best for what I want to do.
