1. very professional looking.

2. You are not a spring chicken anymore. You have to be careful jumping out of these swings. Nothing sucks more than a broken ankle. Well, maybe two broken ankles sucks more.

3. I love how you look around after you jumped. Did anybody see that?

4. I might have to use this video in my “how does a swing work” project if I ever get around to it.

The price is worse than the learning curve, which is also kind of annoying. I can’t imagine working without it, though. Alex, I reckon I’ll tutorialize this at some point soon.

@Jim, you’ve nailed what’s so freaking rich about these videos. You tweak the y-axis even slightly and you get a mind-bending new problem from a context the students already know.

@Bowen, going in, I was aware this wasn’t a sinusoid, true or otherwise. I may not have represented that well, though.

– If you plotted the horizontal distance from where you’re going to land over time, how would that look?

– Speed of swing over time?

– Distance of head over time? Feet over time?

I keep telling myself I need to get it but the price and the learning curve have kept me at bay. Any thoughts on the learning curve?
