Flipped classroom: no need to reinvent the wheel

Among the teachers communities where you can download screencasts for your curriculum,  one of the most important and organized is the Khan Academy.

I recommend listening to the TEDtalk by its founder,  and then go the the Khan Academy website.

A low key way to start recording your screen for flipping your classroom

If you don't feel ready for a new software like Camtasia, why not giving a try, first, to a simple screen recorder already installed with your Smartboard software?
Not a lot of bells and whistles, but it will make you feel what it is like to create a screencast.
The screen recorder tool is on your floating toolbar. If it is not, just add it by clicking on the settings icon at the bottom of the toolbar. More questions? Don't hesitate to ask!

Experimenting with the flipped classroom

This summer at Profile,  five teachers and your dedicated librarian/tech integrator will explore what is currently the best tool for the flipped classroom, Camtasia Studio.  Following up on this previous post, take a look at these short introduction tutorials about Camtasia Studio. You will see and learn how to capture your screen and edit its content to tailor it to the needs of your students.
You may download the full version of Camtasia Studio here (Windows and Mac versions) and use it for an entire month. Should you be interested in useing it after that,  there are a few extra permanent  licences still availalble. Just contact me.
