Mini Lesson 7: Origami Water Bomb

I love origami, so whenever I need an idea for one of my mini lesson videos I tend to lean towards that first. Lucky for me I know a lot of designs that are public domain!

I tried something new with this episode. Instead of using iMovie I tried out eyespot.com. It’s not as feature rich as iMovie, but it does a decent job and even allows you to export video for video iPods. Nice.

This is the second of two lessons that I recorded at the DEN North East Regional Institute. It has nothing to do with the DEN other than that.
