I am glad that you enlarged the screen on the calculater. But it was hard to comprehend the entire calculater because I only saw a small snapshot of it.

I liked that you went over all of it pretty slow, since im a kinda...slow learner. But i agree with Griffin, it does get complicated sometimes, but overall, pretty helpful
thankss

I like this video, but I wanted to see more of the calculator. I did like how it was enlarged and the writing stayed on the screen longer because it gave me enough time to read it until I understood

I found this video really helpful, especially since I just missed a few days of school. I liked that the text was more conversational instead of strictly instructions...it made it easier to follow along! I don't know if you could do this, but if I was following along with the steps on my calculator while the video was playing, it would be hard because I would keep having to look back and forth and I might miss a step. So what if there was a voice over playing so there was text and actual talking, that way if I needed to look down at my calculator I don't fall behind with the steps? Just a thought :)

I like how the screen is larger this time, very helpful. It is kind of hard to think in terms of the whole calculator because there is only a little bit of it showing... but oh well, it is better to have it big and visible than little and illegible. :) And better choice of music too. By the way, you spelled satisfied incorrectly!

Heya Mr. Mays!

The video was pretty cool and I like how it was slower and the screen was more up-close. next time it'd be cool if the screen showed just a little bit more of the calculator. not the whole calculator, but maybe just a little more. I love the music :D cool video overall

I noticed that you enlarged the calculator which was nice, and you add some nice comments that appear during the video that were helpful. I thought the overall pace of the video was quite slow, and once again I think you could do better with the music selection.

Mr. Mays,
I could see the calculator buttons much more easily in this video! At times, though, I felt like the screen was cut off because only half of the calculator could be seen. But, I really liked the upbeat music!

This was really good and really helpful though I wish that I would have watched this Thursday while doing my project and couldn't get the dot plots to come up and had to do them all by hand. I now know that I needed to go to the 'ZOOM' button and click #9.. that would have helped me a ton. But now I know.. so THANKS!!

i like how the screen was big to see the numbers and stuff and then you zoomed out so we could see what buttons you were pressing which helped a lot thank you

it was better. But I wanted to see more of the calculator. I did like how it was enlarged and the writing stayed on the screen longer.

I always wondered why you couldn't see the graph sometimes! I didn't know it was that simple! Same with making the histogram. That was pretty easy.
