Introduction to Screencasting prepared for LearnNowBC Moodle Meet March 2012...This MoodleMeet is free and open to all-registration required. Join Lorna Costantini and Peggy George for great resources and conversations about screencasting and the flipped classroom-March 16-21, 2012. http://learnnowbc.ca/educators/MoodleMeets/default.aspx
Getting the students more involved in retesting Study Hall...Why didn't I think of this before? I put a sign up sheet on my classroom wall with different dates and times for studying (either before school/2nd recess or lunch recess). Then the students who didn't pass were required to sign up for a time slot. I then opened up the "tutoring" job to the rest of the class. If a student got 90% or better on their test, they had the opportunity to tutor a classmate.
Whether you’re creating a product demonstration, how-to video tutorial, recording streaming video or whatever else you’d like to capture. We’ve hand picked 5 of the top free screen recorders that you’re sure to find enormously useful.
There are two particular models for tech integration that seem promising: Flipped Classroom and Project Based Learning.The critical questions these two teaching methods ask are these: how can classroom learning facilitate a collaborative atmosphere that’s engaging for students and that mimics the 21st century work environment? And how can the same technology that students often use at home be leveraged to foster teamwork and critical thinking in the classroom?
Ultimately, success with a flipped class is a combination of understanding the pedagogical goals and using the technology and method to support them. Evansville (Indiana) science teacher Brian Bennett describes the Flipped Classroom as an ideology, not a methodology: Video itself will not help kids achieve more in your class. The flipped classroom is about making connections with learners and differentiating your instruction. If videos are a part of that multi-faceted plan, great. If they are not, still great.
As school leaders work to improve classroom teaching, a new way of evaluating instruction--one that shifts the focus from the teacher to the student--is emerging.
Three years ago, more than half of the freshman class at Clintondale High School outside Detroit failed English in the fall semester. Failure rates for math, science, and social studies were similarly high. "It's unconscionable to have that going on in your building," says Greg Green, Clintondale's chief administrator. Something needed to change, and fast. So Green decided to do something revolutionary: He "flipped" the whole structure of the school day-students did "homework" in class and listened to lectures at home, after school. Seventy-five percent of the student body qualified for free or reduced lunch. Yet a semester after doing the "flip," that freshman class's failure rate in English and language arts had been reduced by about two-thirds by the time they were sophomores.

Excellent overview of creating screencasts with a professional flare that won't break the bank.
Educators interested in “flipping” their classroom (that is, providing traditional lecture material for review at home and problem-solving exercises in the classroom) now have two more options to provide core content with a minimum of effort. Yesterday TED announced TED-Ed, a service designed to “capture and amplify the voice of the world’s greatest teachers.” Also this week, Kahn Academy announced a new iPad app. In a shot across the bow of traditional textbook publishers, this repackaging of existing Khan Academy content provides downloaded videos, subtitles, and progress tracking (requires a khanacademy.org account.)
Content creation is becoming easier, cheaper (even free), and sharing your content is just as doable. If you want to tip your creative toe in world of online content creation, then screencasts are a very nice way to start.

You’re convinced, Peer Instruction works better than lecture. Now, how can you convince your colleagues of the benefits of moving lecture out and learning in to our classrooms?
For years, students have grown accustomed to traditional methods of instruction where teachers fill the role of "sage on the stage," imparting their wisdom during allotted class time then sending work home to reinforce learned concepts with little or no added support. As a result, students exist as mere listeners on the receiving end of a one-way communication process that does little to promote social interaction or encourage critical thought. In an effort to "flip" this trend of passive learning, teachers are now utilizing technology to implement a blended learning method that frees up class time for collaborative activities by shifting lectures out of the classroom and on to the internet. This method, known as a "flipped" classroom, combines the benefits of direct instruction and active learning to engage students in the educational process.
I have gained confidence in my abilities to teach math because I was able to plan, prepare and deliver math lessons without the pressure of conducting whole group instruction which often is interrupted due to behavioral issues. I have gained a wealth of knowledge about all of the technology available out there, and furthermore, I have seen how the use of this technology can enhance and impact learning. Finally, I have gained an appreciation for teachers who “go out on a limb” and try something innovative. Mrs. Bush took a risk and with hard work, dedication, and courage, transformed her classroom into a place where students can learn math in ways they never have before.
I believe that there is a huge opportunity for these two trends to join forces: that the principles of the flipped classroom model of instruction combined with the power of 1:1 technology can create a truly flipped classroom where it isn’t just the lectures and homework assignments that have been flipped, but rather the underlying structure of the class itself. Here are three key areas in which such a shift can and should occur. Eric Sheninger

PDF document of tips for screencasting for online learning courses. Instructor presence is an essential element of an online course and helps bridge the technology gap and disconnect felt by students in eLearning. One method of being present in your distance course is to use screencasts for presenting your lecture and other course materials. You can also use screencasts to provide your lecture material in a face-to-face class.
I am starting to see lots of information about the “flipped classroom.” This has grown out of the Kahn model, which was talked about at the TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) conference. Here’s a link to learn more about TED and the Flipped Classroom.
This video will show teachers how to make simple screencast videos for students to use in and out of class. The tutorial highlights Screenr, a web-based screencasting application that allows you to record 5 minute, watermark-free videos of your screen and upload directly to YouTube.
Check this out if you're a PC user! He recommends it as higher quality than Camtasia Studio and the cost difference is huge ($299 vs $99). "VideoStudio Pro X5 is a full featured video editing software. If you combine a full featured video editor (of which Camtasia is not) and a screen capture ability, then you have a whole new ball game with regards to flexibility and creativity."
