Flipping out for *Faux* Flipping! |
My session is not overly technical, but involves sharing how and why I now put almost all of my lessons on video. For this presentation, I put together a video of short crops of a variety of my project/instructional videos, created a short video on how I use Screencast-o-matic to edit, created a SWAY all about the why's/pros and discoveries of 'faux' flipping, and at the end, time allowing, I would give participants the opportunity to have a little art therapy and experience learning/doing from one of my videos. My presentation was obviously originally geared to art teachers, but I believe that the content is relevant for all subject areas. Plus, isn't there always a place for art? ;) |

Paperless Classroom |
Based on my experience with the class notebook I feel that this session could benefit anyone. This will be about enjoying the benefits of having a class notebook, placing notes/handouts/forms in the class notebook will save youtime and paper. We all know how hard it is to sometimes find a working copier machine that wont jam. This is also an easy way to differentiate. |
