Here are some screencasts demonstrating spreadsheet techniques that will be useful for doing your spreadsheet-based webwork problems. These will continue to appear as the term progresses so keep coming back to see the newest ones.
The first three screencasts below are difficult to see on youtube due to compression. Until they are replaced with better quality versions, it is preferable to watch the full sized versions.
