BAM!
Mr. Tarrou Just wanted to touch base with you all.
You may have noticed that there have not been any new videos posted lately from Tarrou's
Chalk Talk.
Giving you a little state of the union address if you will to let you know what is going
on.
I am still working very very hard on my YouTube channel as well of course at my full time
teaching position at my local high school.
You have not seen new content because I am trying to continue my quest in making my videos...
all of my videos...
Closed Captioned to the deaf and ....um...
English...
You know, students where English is not their first language can benefit from my videos,
and help as many people as possible.
That is why I built this channel in the first place.
So just to give you an update, since May 8 when I got my Silver Play Button award...
Thank you very much for all of you who have subscribed, liked, and shared my channel with
your friends.
I have posted...
Let's see, I am looking down here because I have got two separate parts.
Between May 8th and June 2nd when I asked for some Close Captioning help, and you will
find a link to that request in the description of this video, between May 8th and June 2nd
I closed captioned 24 videos.
And since June 2nd up until now I have closed captioned an additional 75 videos.
So that is about 100 videos I have gotten closed captioned since May 8th.
Now my fans have closed captioned for me, thank you very very much, an additional 26
videos.
And my friends and students lately have Closed Captioned an additional 5 videos.
Now I am begging and pleading that you guys, if you can find it in your heart and time,
to help me...
Please do so.
And I don't know who this anonymous person is, but in the last couple of days... yesterday
I woke up to find one of my videos Closed Captioned.
And I approved those captions after I reviewed them.
Today I woke up and there are four more.
So I don't know who out there in YouTube land has all of a sudden really started helping
Close Caption quite a few of those videos.
But I do greatly greatly appreciate it.
I cannot thank you enough.
I was about to do this video the other day to let you guys know that out of my 580 lessons,
there are a few additional videos that are not necessarily math lessons, there are 583
videos.
But of those 580 videos, I have now 250 videos left.
Now I am working as hard as I can.
My current year of teaching an my local high school, I now am teaching four different math
classes.
I am doing PreCalculus, AP Calculus AB, AP Statistics again, and Intensive Algebra 1
course.
That is a brand new course for me.
We are talking about new plans, creating new solutions with the book that I am using.
So within those four math classes whenever I get a chance I am turning on the computer
and again like I said Close Captioning videos just as quickly as I can with my goal to make
my entire channel accessible to the deaf and again foreign speaking students that maybe
are not quite so sharp on the English.
And actually you can use Google translate to automatically translate those closed captions
to any multitude of languages.
I know they are not perfect, but it is something.
I am trying to help out as much as I can.
Now one last note.
I am quite often getting questions about, you know, "Do you have any work sheets or
practice tests I can use?"
And with teaching full time and making new content, and now close captioning videos I
just don't have the time.
But, I have recently discovered another resource and the guy is fantastic.
He has a website called, or you can find it...
MathPlane dot com.
And you are going to find... let's see if I can pull this up here...
You are going to find practice, free review tests and useful notes, you are going to find
puzzles and games and cartoons related to the math that you are learning once you find
these pages that you are going to of course use for what you are learning...
Helpful math techniques.
He is a tutor, so he has resources for that.
You are going to find links to tutoring services, educational sites, and instant to answers
to math problems.
And I am looking at material for Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trig, Algebra 2, Calculus,
Statistics, and um...
ACT and SAT topics, and the list is going on and on and on.
So it is a huge site and full of resources.
And when he gives you the solutions to these practice tests and work sheets it is not just
the answers, it the actual solutions.
Kind of like what I do with my kids.
I say, hey the answers are in the back of the book.
But, when you are at home, or in class with this flipped classroom that I am doing, here
is a binder of all the solutions.
Because you know, sometimes just knowing the answer is not enough.
You need those step by step solutions to help you understand how to do the problem, not
just whether or not you got the answer right.
So this is it.
I am Mr. Tarrou.
I am going to back to close captioning some more videos before I get on with the rest
of my day.
And thank you very much for all of your support.
Please like, share, subscribe, tell your friends.
Please I am going to get all of these lessons closed captioned with... you know.. with a
lot of effort and hopefully a lot of effort and continued support from you guys.
I really appreciate everyone that has helped.
I really appreciate everyone that shares my channel.
I do not pay for advertising, you all are the only ones.
Word of Mouth is the best advertising out there.
And that is it for now.
Please check out... let's see..
Facebook dot com back slash ProfRobBob.
You will notice that there is a continuous roll of posts about, hey... this new video
is closed captioned.
So on and so on.
So you guys know I am indeed actually working as much as I can and helping you all as much
as I possible can.
Thank you very much.
I am Mr. Tarrou.
BAM!
Go Do Your Homework:)
