Any Maths teachers out there?

Will Richardson has found a wiki that showcases student created screencasts about maths related topics.

I really like how he highlights the benefits of this kind of activity.

The thing I like the most here is the opportunity to engage our students by not only asking them to show what they know by testing it but by teaching it. I really believe that is a transformative shift that finally allows us to stop being the sole audience our kids work for. I always tried to find authentic audiences for my students’ work when I was in the classroom, to move the motivation away from the grade and instead to the audience feedback and reaction.

Inspiration for teachers of compution subjects. I can see something like a small clip describing how you would call a function, given its definition.
