Mathtrain.TV: Episode 51.5 (iPhone/iPod Version)

What is a URL?  (The iPhone/iPod Version)

I composed the music from putting together numerous generic loops in Garageband.

I need to take a survey soon and find which file type is preferred by you.  Here is one specifically for the iPhone and iPod.  Let me know if this version is better, or not necessary since the other mp4 files can easily be converted in iTunes.  Thanks.

Mathtrain.TV: Episode 0

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

Welcome to the Mathtrain.com with Mr. Marcos podcast.

We changed the name to Mathtrain.TV with Mr. Marcos.

This is a repeat of Episode 0, our first podcast.  In this show, we briefly introduce you to what the focus of this podcast will be – – namely, student-created mathcasts (video math lessons).  For the most part, Mr. Marcos’ middle school students will be leading the mathcasts via a Tablet PC and Camtasia Studio.

We like the “kids teaching kids” model.  The students are from Lincoln Middle School, in Santa Monica, CA.
