**VIDEO OT- new math rap!

MikeDobbs - 9-6-2012 at 11:00 AM

You may have noticed from my sig that mathematics plays a big role in my life, but you may not realize how big : )

Each year for the last 5 years, I have written and performed a math rap for my students, and the last two years I've started making full blown music videos for them. Please take a minute to watch- I think you'll really enjoy it :smilegrin:

PLUS! If you watch until the end you will see a cameo by my PL kite buggy which did double duty as a camera dolly for the rolling shots in the vid :singing:

The video is in HD if you click through to YouTube, and it is definitely enabled for mobile devices (Cheezy)

That was truly an awesome video please do some filming at the Fall WBB! Between you and Kober there will most certainly be some stellar video in the future. :thumbup:

Mwwaaahaahaaa I won the video battle :lol:

Thanks so much everyone for the great comments! I worked really hard on this one and all my kite buggy video editing skills I've developed over the winter definitely showed in the final product.

Drew- yeah you might be right- I think of myself as more of a nerd than a dork, but a really COOL nerd! :cool:

Actually the kids LOVE it- I've never heard of any student saying anything less than positive, and most get really into it. On the last day of school I perform the rap live during the lunch periods and I get huge crowds (couple hundred students or more) for each show. They think it's great. I'm not sure about the principal, I don't know that she has much of an appreciation for hip hop ;)
