The purpose of this Screencast is to deliver information to

students while demonstrating and modeling in person. Students
will be able to use the Screencast while in class after the initial
presentation to help refresh and review information that they
need more work on or need to see again for understanding. This
allows those who need more help the ability to go over parts
that they did not quite get and give those who understand to
continue working on developing their scaling ability.
