Quarter III, Week 5: ScreenCasts, SmartNotes and Code, oh my!

This week saw the end of several big units. So, I ended up blogging about each class in other blog posts. Now, this week's post is a little short as it points to my other posts! BTW, this week's YouTube Wednesday was about the 1977 version on the "Powers of 10!" Next week we'll have to do something about PI Day....
