I looked at the Pixlar video and thought of how you could use it. You take a picture and use instant alpha in preview so you are left with just the image. Then you insert a picture as a background in Keynote. Import the image of yourself or someone else into Keynote. Use the Keynote animations to move the image around the background. You can lengthen the slide to the length needed to match what you want to say over top. Then export it as a movie and move it into iMovie. Then do the voice over.

(And yes, one was yours, Dan – always inspirational). In fact, I came away with a few reminders about things that I should know better about bringing back into my classroom, and some specific activities that were amazingly successful this week, already. I had two warm-up activities this week that students wanted to stretch from 5 to 20 minutes, and every single student was completely engaged. Because they were so successful and engaged in the warmups, the actual lessons, though shorter than planned, were completely effective.
I also agree that the Friday keynote was outstanding, as was the Sunday morning keynote by Jo Boaler, whose research is really important. To steal from Stephen Colbert – CMCN14 – a great conference, or the greatest conference? Might well be the greatest one I’ve attended.
