A flipping good idea...hopefully
OK, I think one of my focuses for the year will be the beginning stages of flipping my classroom. I've done some research and it seems like an interesting idea. I don't think it will work in all situations but I do think it will be effective for many topics. So far I've started with my first video that will be about some basic ecology. I'm going to try different types of media to keep things interesting. I'll be starting with a prezi that I'll narrate and probably be saving in youtube.edu. One thing I'm wondering right now is what activities I'll be using in the class to show their understanding. And in many of the videos I've seen there is a small frame with the teacher's face doing the lecture but I don't know what program they use for that. Guess it's time to e-mail Dana.

cpaulter,
ReplyDeleteDo we have access to youtube.edu at school? You can try http://www.knovio.com/ or http://present.me/ to get presentations with video.

Chris, I was checking them out and they seem intersting, but I'd prefer not to have such a large image of myself, and I don't know if they'd work with something that isn't a slideshow. I may try out Camtasia and see what it can do but it's expensive after the 30 day trial. Hopefully I'll actually have a finished product this weekend.
