Screencasting Part 2

Richard Byrne posted some information on his blog for additional free tools for flipping your classroom. His guest blogger, Brian E. Bennett, breaks it down based upon uses. Some of the tools we have discussed in class and other were mentioned in the previous post on screencasting. Investigate and see if there are any you can use for you project.

Screencasting

We talked about video editing during our last meeting but I did not touch on screencasting for a computer. Screencasting allows annotation and narration of what is shown on the screen of a computer. This procedure used to be based in software that needed purchased. It is now done with Web 2.0 tools for free. I found this article this morning from Susan Oxnevad. She offers some benefits of screencasting below and some of the services that provide options for screencasting.

Why One Math Teacher Flipped

The Beginning

Welcome to the home for the Marshall University Flipped Classroom!

After two meetings, I think we have made substantial headway into how we will create the flipped classroom model. The ideas for content are flowing and the discussions on how to build or harvest lessons are nearly completed. By the next meeting, we should have the answers we need as far as resources that need acquired by some in the course.

The first item that has come up since we last met is conflict with our next session on November 3. Steve let me know that the West Virginia State Science Conference is the same weekend. With a room of science teachers, this may be a big issue. We may need to reschedule if several will be at the conference.
