Using iPads and different manipulatives, students created live action videos of everything from a rhino charging a pyramid to Goofy breaking it down on a celestial dance-floor.<\/p>\n<p>The day&#8217;s goal was to both introduce students to new technologies and\u00a0demonstrate the geometric properties of shapes. To create their videos, students used spheres, pyramids, boxes, and other 3-D\u00a0figures in the composition of their short movies. Students collaborated together with their peers and mentors at all stages of development in the creation of their stop motion animated movies and, as they finished, the movies were projected onto a Promethean board for all to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>The most advanced skill for the students to apprehend in the lesson was the use of time to effect changes in the perceived visual field. At first, students were unclear about the nature of the medium at hand&#8211;the interaction of space and time. But after some tinkering, some very entertaining videos were produced ending with a video of all the day&#8217;s participants filing into a\u00a0picture\u00a0one-by-one.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1994\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/cte\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2015\/02\/photo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1994\" class=\"wp-image-1994 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/cte\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2015\/02\/photo.jpg\" alt=\"photo\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/cte\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2015\/02\/photo.jpg 3264w, https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/cte\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2015\/02\/photo-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/cte\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2015\/02\/photo-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/cte\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2015\/02\/photo-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/cte\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2015\/02\/photo-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/cte\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2015\/02\/photo-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mentors oversee the creation of an Arctic scene.
