The project I picked was a primary math lesson idea. Students go about their regular school day looking for fractions. For instance, during lunch they could see a pizza half eaten and see that as 1/2. As they find fractions they are told to take photos, using a digital camera, of the objects. Students then after the photos are taken, use the photos and import them using iPhoto and organize them. Then they use imovie to sequence the clips in a timeline, maybe for instance when they saw them throughout their day. They can add text to the photos in Keynote or iMovie or even narration. They also can add music to iMovie from itunes. Once the students have produced a short clip of their fraction findings they are to present them to the class.
This project familurizes students with the i-programs. Using these technological devices help students produce their own films using a variety of special effects and material.

This project seems like it would be a lot of fun! I'm actually taking math 382, and we have been taught many lessons on having students find fractions all over the school (and real world). This would be a perfect lesson for that!! Not only does it help teach students about fractions but it helps them learn how to use a program to make a mini movie. This also allows for them to present to the class, and to kind of teach the class. I really like this lesson!
