Videotaping the class

This week I videotaped my class for the PACT video sample. Here are a few notes on what happened.

Firstly, my students were on their best behavior. We got so much work done the past several days and I think the camera played a big part. The behavior carried over afterward, too; the class has been really responsive the past few days after videotaping.

Secondly, I really hate iMovie and iDVD so far. Making my tape digital took too long, and I can't figure out how to burn to CD. It also takes up a huge amount of disc space. I could just as easily take the two clips I want and put them on another videotape. This is ridiculous. I'm not trying to do anything fancy.

Anyways, class is going well. I'm digging it.
