media type="custom" key="9979867" This video is about Math reasoning and problem solving. The presenter, Dan Meyer, speaks about students passing Math class because they can decode the textbook, not because they understand the concepts. He also speaks about using multimedia to bring real life into the classroom. - Ellen

Here is a link to a video that I saw during Rushton's session at the ISTE conference. This video was a challenge from one high school to their crosstown rivals. It was done by the video production class. What is really cool about it is that it shows that high school students have a ton of potential and they will learn to use the technology when it is fun and they are motivated. The video was made by students, features all of the students in the school and it uses "lip dubbing." After you watch this video I am certain you will say, "how did they do that?" ~ Liz P.S. this video will download and run on iTunes.

Having trouble imbedding video? Here is the code that I used for the Bike Race.  Hang on 

Find any video that you want to embed: Copy the URL. Replace the URL in my line of code (in bold) with yours. Change "Hang On" to what you want the page to say. Be sure to not change anything else in the line of code.

Hit EDIT at the top of this page. Click on a location where you want the widget to appear. Select Widget At the bottom of the left column, click on "Other HTML" Paste your line into the text box. Save your work, save the page. It should run.

You can embed any HTTP reference using the same code. Hope this helps... Send me a note if it doesn't

This video discusses four seemingly simple questions about science that most people in the field assume they know the answer to. They asked these four questions to graduates from MIT (one of the top science universities in the world) and a high majority answered them incorrectly. I like this video because it deals with fantasia. For example many people think they know the reason it is hotter in summer than in winter, but it is shocking to see the small percent that actually know that correct answer. The overall point of the video is that students are not empty vessels, but it is our role as educators to transform and shape their preconceived ideas.

media type="custom" key="10009543" This video discusses topics of speed and acceleration. The first segment that I like (14:25 - 16:25) graphically shows how different objects fall (accelerate) at the same rate. The second segment that I like (16:25 - 18:00) graphically shows the concepts of acceleration and constant acceleration. In my experience, students struggle with the concept of acceleration because it involves the rate of change of a rate (i.e., the units are often m/s/s). While Alan Kay does break the concept down in another way, I'm not sure how helpful this will be to my most challenged learners. - Jeff
