Tree diagrams screencast

YouTube video about tree diagrams in GCSE Probability. Me talking with illustrations provided by a PowerPoint presentation. I scripted the speech but then extemporised at various points - and managed this in two complete takes.

Above is the Tree Diagram screencast as converted and hosted on YouTube. I departed from the script slightly when I was reading over the slides.

I took two complete takes and a couple of false starts to get this 9 minute video done, so, including the script and hacking up the slides, you are looking for an hour to an hour and a half of work. I wish I had added graphics to show the multiplying along the path (see 2:45 minutes into the video), and I originally had a section scripted about why we can treat the probabilities along a path as independent in a non-replacement question – that last point I can add to the worksheet.

Now, as a complete contrast to my screencasting technique, here is an animated video with sing-along about the Mean Median and Mode from LearningUpgrade.com

That must have taken hours to produce.
