Data Preparation

Hypothesis: Females have a higher average number of discussion posts than do the males.
Dependent variable- Sex. Independent variable- # of posts.
Results: Females average # of posts was 15.63, males was 16.57. The hypothesis was incorrect.

Null Hypothesis: Teaching or Not Teaching does not affect the average number of discussion posts.
Dependent variable- Teaching/Not Teaching. Independent variable- # of posts.
Results: Those Teaching average 18.7 posts. Those Not Teaching average 9.55 posts. The Null Hypothesis was incorrect.

I have found that YouTube is an incredible resource for tutorials. There are many well-done selection out there that would be great to teach the novice, all the way to advanced users. Glad to see that YouTube isn't just a place to post videos of someone's dumbest moment and stupid choices.

NETS-T
1a, b, c, d
2a, b, c, d
3a, b, c, d
4a, b, c, d
5a, b, c, d

This exercise can be adapted to multiple subject matter in the classroom. Research projects would've been much more interesting in school if we(the students) could've come up with our own numbers rather than finding them in an encyclopedia.
