A sample Podcast with presentation

I told Sam that I would post this, so here is a sample of the podcast of my lecture. It is rough and unedited. I am torn between editing them right now.  It takes me about 3 to 5 minutes to post these on my school’s Edline website for the learners.  If I edited and took out the “so” (do I really say that 200 times a class, I must, it there on the recording) and the “okay’s” then it would take much much longer.

I am going for information to learners with this.  So far I have had at least one person PER day tell me they have listened to it and it has helped.  That is enough for me to continue all year. 

If I had to edit, then it would take so much time that I probably would not do it, honestly.

The PDF does not show the steps that I used, nor the animations for the Commutative property.  I refuse to use animations unless it has a purpose.  When I draw arrows, then I use a wipe that goes from the beginning to the arrow. 

For the Commutative property, I used a rotation that had (a + b) rotating around the “+”.  That gets the idea of movement across to the learner.  I ‘think’ it helped.
