I’ve been doing the same thing, but on the college level (at Georgia Tech) for the past few years. For me, one main challenge is to get instructors to “buy in” to the value of this idea and incorporate it into their classrooms. Most of the videos we’ve done have been extra credit (low stakes) but I hope to soon incorporate more video assignments. Looks like you were going along great. Why did you stop? Any plans to continue?

This looks like an excellent project! I would love to do something like this for my Honors Algebra II class this year. My school is a laptop school as well, although we don’t have Smartboards. I read that you were going to change the project for future years. Can you please post the links to your updated files?

Thanks,
Chrissie

Thanks!

I’ve decided that I’m going to try it again this year, but with some of the modifications. We’ll see where that brings us…

What a great idea for a project! If only my school had some of your smartboard technology. I’m already trying to think of ways to adapt it to my students and what we have available at our school. Great idea and very nice student examples!!

Wow, that was quick.

With learning and especially with testing the level of understanding it is always difficult to predict all the variables involved. This really answers my question. Thanks again!
