In fact, let’s just use pretty much the same idea […]

GOM Player, http://player.gomlab.com/eng/ – homepage
Download site for GOM Player…

Gimp, http://www.gimp.org/
download site… http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

I didn’t get to the video part, but that’s not necessary for the kids to work in GeoGebra and make the parabola. I am thinking WeVideo might be able to handle it, but I ran out of steam.

Here’s my screencasts for using GOM and GIMP to get to the image with all the balls in flight.

Masking the ball from each picture using GIMP,

Here’s my final picture that I imported into GeoGebra… http://goo.gl/EXnP1

Thanks Dan for the continuous great ideas, I saw this idea when you first posted it and then I moved out of the classroom into a tech coaching role and have always wanted to try to do this. I was so thrilled when 2 teachers asked for help to do this with their 8th graders. I will let you know how they do next week.

By the end they were betting each other actual money that certain shots would or wouldn’t go in. This blog is great!

Thanks so much for posting these excellent resources. Your approach is clear and engaging.

I teach math in Community College and will use these in my algebra classes.

Thanks!
