Very interesting lecture using various charts and diagrams. I found myself spending most of the time listening to the information which was hard for me since I am a visual learner. You may want to add a few more pictures as you are talking to help keep the visual learners listening!
Technical Remarks:
The quiz was white lettering on a grey background which I found a little hard to read. I would like to see more color that would grab my attention so I would not lose interest in the lecture. I also did not understand what to do with the questions after the end of "Stable Population" and "What'sHappening Now"

Marc,
I really enjoyed your lesson on population growth. The lesson was cross-curricular (science and social studies), it was succinct, and it clearly addressed the intended objectives. I also think that a Camtasia presentation fits well with the UDL principles as this lesson would address the needs of a number of different types of learners. My only concern is the length of time you spend on each slide. Although it's important to thoroughly explain the information on each slide I tend to lose focus when the information is not changing. After about a minute on one slide I think students might lose focus as well. Finally, the quizzes were a nice addition as they allowed students to review throughout the lesson rather than just waiting until the end. Great job!

I thought it was an interesting topic. It was easier to follow in this format, with both the visual information (graphs) and you explaining the information. Would have liked a little more interactiveness in the presentation. Got a little boring just listening to you.
Technical Remarks:
I thought that the graphs were a little small and hard to see. Could try to make them a little bigger. The background noise was a bit distracting.
