M&M-Sign+up

Math & the Movies Sign-Up Page
 Every class day, you’ll begin by watching a short video, like a television show episode, but only a few minutes long. This video series is designed to be entertaining as well as to help you understand some of the concepts in the course. You’ll use a wiki to keep track of class vocabulary to help you learn the terms and to provide a reference in case you forget what something means. You’ll write in response to questions I pose on the Nicenet class forums. Your classmates will write in the forum as well, and then you’ll respond to the postings of your classmates, and your classmates and I will give you feedback on your thoughts. ||   You’ll also keep a journal on your wiki to write more about math. Make Your Own assignments require you to create a math object, usually based on a number of examples that I give and you complete. You’ll make your own math problems and illustrations of vocabulary terms. In the movie project, you’ll work with a partner to write, design, and produce a short movie about a math topic we cover in this course. The movie project is broken up throughout the course so that you’ll complete it piece by piece in a painless fashion. It’s important that you’re up to date on your own movie project, because you’re expected to give feedback to your classmates to help them improve their own projects. Throughout the course, you’ll learn more about high definition video, HD televisions, Blu-Ray technology, and animation technology.
