  1. These are all good ideas! I wanted to read yours because I knew you were a math teacher and it is ironic that we had similar responses. It was hard to think of ways to demonstrate math with a vodcast, I thought. Specifically, if you didn't have a whiteboard that could record the student's steps as they wrote on the board. Images may not describe the processes as well. I like your problem solving idea. That is a very important skill for them to learn!

  2. How about a vodcast about Fibonacci (if I'm spelling that right) numbers, or pi?
