Thing 14 is something that I looked forward to immensely. Mostly because YouTube is something I've wasted a staggering amount of my life on. This task simply gave me license to waste my life in a more structured setting. The instructions were two videos related to subject and interest, one "how to" video, and one just for fun. It is a testament to YouTube that I found all four within about 20 minutes (followed by 2 hours of surfing afterwords). So without further ado.
1. Oxford Statistitian Peter Donnelly discussing multiple examples of how even very educated people misunderstand statistics and probability.
2. The Fordham Foundation (an Education Think Tank) with their (somewhat tounge in cheek) take on the latest NAEP writing scores.
3. How to create a Macro within Excel.
4. Just for Kicks. Those young persons today not having the luck of growing up in the 80's have no perspective on how awesome it was to spend all saturday morning watching cartoons when you are 9 or 10 (and the latest Yu Gi Oh incarnation does not count kids). This montage brings all that back a bit. Warning equal parts cheese and nostalgia (some of them are, in retrospect, really awful).
4B. My own personal obsession, Parkour.
Teacher Tube was a bit new to me but I found it extremely interesting. Among my favorites are several videos of Middle School students explaining statistical concepts. There is hope for the next generation yet! One example below.
