I’ve wanted for sometime to post a few of my lessonplans and classroom materials that I have enjoyed and that students have commented on.

The first is a lesson on piece-wise functions that I developed using two blogposts that caught my interest. The two posts are by Jason Dyer and Math Teacher Mambo. The first involved an application of piece-wise functions and the second a graphing technique.

But I can’t use imovie….

August 20, 2007

There are most likely many of us that would like to use imovie in our classrooms, but for various reasons, can’t. (I live Brazil, and mac support does not exist where I am. You buy and use a mac at your own risk. Everything goes to the coast to repair, and meanwhile weeks pass…)

For us, MS-moviemaker is a workable substitute. For tutorials and other helps:
