Abstract:
|
The Against All Odds video series is a collection of 26 half-hour episodes depicting uses of Statistics in real situations. Part of the Annenberg/CPB Collection and produced by COMAP, the series has appeared on many public television stations. Although released in 1989, much of the material presented, although dated, still delivers a powerful punch. To facilitate use in the classroom a detailed timeline of each episode was presented at JSM-1995; segments highly effective for classroom learning were identified. However, the logistics of locating a desired segment on a videotape can be time consuming. This presentation offers several digitized short clips from the Against All Odds series edited into separate files which can be downloaded for easy playback in the classroom or for use as a supplement to homework assignments. Expose your students to the power of Statistical stories.
