Dave McKae teaching

The purpose of this video is teaching the mean as a balance point. Most people understand the algorithm, but they have never considered it as a balance point. I use a ruler, a paper towell roll, and 3 quarters to demonstrate how to do this. I then explain it using a line plot.

It took me a while to navigate my way around between emails and blogger because Willamette.edu accounts through gmail are not compatible with blogger and my blogger account is through gmail. Each time I tried to switch between documents, I had to log out and log in to the other account. Other than that, I found that it was easy to record video of my lesson using a tripod, though you never see my face. I had trouble embedding the video and chose to post the link instead. The website said I had to wait in line while the video was being converted (plus members don't have to wait).



If video does not embed, link to video is below, click to view.

    Private, and will await invite. Looks like link and embed will work great.
    TRICK: use Google CHROME for your browser. Log in to your gmail account. Select File -> NEW INCOGNITO WINDOW -> and proceed to log in to your WIllamette (or any other account). NO conflict !!!!

    Yep, 30 to 40 minute delay before Vimeo resolves ... but for free and with everything else it offers, that's minor.
