The button above is a link to screencast video I made recently and used in my Technology Enrichment class. It was a great tool to use with the students because they were engaged and were gaining new material. I have become a LOVER of videos for instruction. They give you a new way to present material, even if it is a video of you teaching. In this TV, video game, technology generation you seem to be able to hold their attention with short videos much better than if you stood there and presented the same material live and in person. I would loved to have a flipped classroom model at our school but the issue is most of our students don't have access to Internet or the technology to watch the videos outside of school. I did try a modified flip version by having students watch videos as morning work. Then you run into the issue of students don't all get there before the bell and then the ones that come in tardy. I know there has to be a good solution! But if I knew that, I could probably solve the world's problems!
