I’ll try to do that – some of my stuff is cobbled together from textbooks, but I’m sure I can get some of the meatier handouts up there. Thanks for asking.

In particular, the textbook we’re using does not have a succinct list of definitions. Thanks so much.

Thank you for sharing!

Hi John – I’m sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Between being away during the national holiday and then taking the Grade 11 and 12 students on a trip last week, I’ve been away from the blog for a while.

I do all of the editing in Camtasia for Mac – I really like the interface, especially when using my Wacom tablet. I am finding though that I am too much of a perfectionist for the videos, so I am editing a lot. It’s still about a 5:1 ratio of editing to recording time. It’s keeping me from recording as many videos as I want to be making – great is the enemy of good here. Part of that is to keep my video length to 2 – 3 minutes, but I think I need to learn to let that go.

It also shows me how I could deepen my Legal vs Smart algebra moves discussion.

One other question, which I have a feeling you may have covered earlier in one of your posts on screencasts. How are you able to make stuff, like the writing of the equation “x+5=7” just appear on the screen? Are you just editing out the writing in post production, or have you set up some sort of keyboard macros to drop in pre-written things?
