I really enjoyed working with Screencastomatic.  It was easy to use and free (which makes it awesome!).  I created a video for my 7th grade students to use as a resource as they complete a 3D printing project where they create a personalized coin.  I plan to make more videos to illustrate the progression of the project and to create others.  Currently everyone has been making the same general coin because we go through the steps together.  Having prerecorded lectures will allow students to select from a menu of projects and create at their own pace.

I am very much interested in doing more videos with my staff.  We have been experimenting with wanting to put some of our training videos online so we don't have to such long days where we usually just lecture. This way they can also have the ability to go back and refer back to the videos when they need the reference.

Talking with a couple of my students on which set of notes I should make for this assignment, the number one thing they stated is that having a place where they can hear my voice attached to notes would be a big help. Many of the students noted that while the notes were in depth enough to be helpful if they knew the material, the reason they were looking at the notes again was due to not knowing the material. As most of my class involve a fair of math along with the science, having words to go along with said notes would be a great help to those that need it. To that end, thanks to the ease of use of the suggested program, I am going to attempt to create audio to go along with the notes for most of my classes over time. Currently, with 6 preps, getting them all done over a weekend is unrealistic, but something to slowly work towards namely starting with the areas of most concern such as stoichiometry and a good chuck of electromagnetism.

I wonder if green is the good colour this time around.

I plan on incorporating more video in my lessons to supplement and introduce new things. I notice a difference in my class and their excitement when I introduce new topics with even the shortest clips of video. I hope to use videos to help get absent students caught up as well. I have some very visual learners and some who can never remember directions so I think doing some videos would help them that way they would be able to replay as much as they need. One of my goals for the end of the year is to have my students create their own video/presentation.

This is actually something that I've made a goal of improving on this year. During my past year of teaching, the number of students who have been gone for extended periods of time for one reason or another has been mind boggling (for example, I had 10+ students out for 20+ days of school during the months of January and December because they were visiting family in Mexico). Because of this, I've made it a point to adapt my teaching to incorporate more video. Specifically, I've started recording myself giving lectures, running through labs after school on my own to help with data collection for students at home, and uploading more relevant Youtube videos to my Google Classroom page that help to explain content we are working on in class. I've found that providing students with video of lectures/labs has made a significant dent in the number of missing assignments there are through all of my classes for any given section and uploading and/or showing video in class promotes discussion much more than simple lecturing does.

Our school has been hit HARD with influenza A and B the last month. I can definitely see videos working well for students who have been absent. If they miss a lesson, they have their iPads at home and can watch the video without getting too far behind. Student would definitely watch a video with directions over reading the directions!
I have also created step-by-step demonstration videos for absent students, so they can watch, pause, and do what is on the video. This works really well with art project with lots of steps. Then students who have a hard time with instructions with too many steps can watch it too!
I also can see assigning a video as homework, so art students can focus on art making in class instead of taking up so much time with instructions and lecture time.

Desirre Hampton - Personally, I think Flipped Classrooms, using videos or digital media outside of the classroom, is a great opportunity for teachers and students. It allows for more engagement within the actual classroom time, which potentially could allow students to go deeper into their learning. I would love to try to use a Flipped Classroom environment for classes in my future. I would like to attempt lecturing on a chapter with a few examples and questions that could be taken back to the classroom to be reviewed and discussed further. Allowing a student to cover material and listen to a lecture could be very beneficial. Some students wouldn’t feel as rushed and could take in the information at their own pace, creating a better learning environment for themselves.

I use videos quite a bit in my class. I use them when I have a sub so that students can watch and know what to do. It also allows them to pace themselves when I'm not there. I also shoot videos of lab procedures when introducing them to new equipment. They're able to go back and watch them over and over again. I never use ppt presentations in my class, mainly because they look at them in their other 7 classes. It's too overused and loses its meaning. Therefore, the few lectures I do give aren't usually recorded for them. I could start doing this so they have a recording to go back to if needed.

I love the idea of students being able to revisit material we've covered in class.
When I am assigned a classroom, I would like to integrate videos into my lessons as well as make them available for parents.
Jump starting a lesson or unit with an engaging video is one way I'd like to incorporate video resources.

Another, is creating or using videos to revisit lessons taught in class. This year, KPS began using new math curriculum--Eureka Math. It has been hard for some students to adjust to the new approach. The focus isn't so much on formulas or a right way of approaching a problem. Rather, Eureka equips students with models and techniques that give them a richer understanding of the whys and hows behind the numbers/problems/equations.  Parents and students reviewing a video explaining the lesson would go a long way in removing tears and frustration over homework.
I can see a lot of value in using video resources.

I have been using videos, in my geometry class, for a few years. I have recorded all my notes/problems for all my lecture material. This allows my students to work on homework, ask questions and take assessments in my room. What I like about this situation, is that my students can work at different speeds. This means that I have some students working on different lessons at the same time. I would like to transform my chemistry classroom. I have not integrated many lessons into this type of learning environment, because it has taken me a few years to work out everything in geometry. It will be amazing when I finally take the jump. This would allow my class to slow down in the classroom and discover material compared to memorizing the information. The culmination of this idea will be the division of my classes into a regular high school chemistry and a college chemistry class.  I could then differentiate and present each material to each group a little differently for the students that were in the class.

Overall I have found success when using videos in my classrooms. I LOVED the resources highlighted in the last modules, and will work hard to implement them.

As of now, my primary classroom is tech-free (no projector or anything that is easy to use), but I think that once the room is set up better, I will have a much easier time. I have uploaded some of my content for this class on Google Classroom since our students are one-to-one, and that has been successful too.

I have used video in class a bit, mostly by showing clips from YouTube about whatever math topic we are going over. Sometimes the instructor on the video will explain things differently than I do, so it gives the students, and me, a different way to look at the problem or topic. I recommend to students that if they need help with a specific homework problem they can probably find something very similar on YouTube. In the future I'd like to build my own 'library' of Educreations videos for different chapters. I'd like to spend less class time having to go over examples, If they need to see/hear the mechanics of how to solve a problem then they can choose to watch my video.

Well, I am not all that technology savvy and I have not used a lot of videos in my teaching. I struggle because I know that this is how our students are learning but I am always wondering if we, teachers, are encouraging our students to be on their devices too long. I guess that I still think things the old way are ok. I know that the times they are a changing! I am trying but what I think I need is just a couple days to sit one on one with someone who can walk me through all these things and help me. I guess that if I have a full time position next year I would be interested in looking at some different videos, but I would want them to enhance what I am teaching and not use it to just be using something for the sake of using technology.

It was brought to my attention in this module's lessons and activities how often I refer to the Internet to teach my son about a topic. He loves to watch videos of volcanoes, and we have scoured the web finding content to better help him understand them. I think using videos captures attention, breaks up the monotony of a lesson, and has a great way of wrapping up a discussion. I'm excited to continue learning ways to create my own video lessons to better help students learn.

I would like to incorporate flipped videos in my classroom, however I haven't taken the time to actually make them yet.  Maybe this summer I will create a couple.

I like to use videos in my classes to introduce students to new topics or help explain a topic that I might not be the greatest at explaining. I've used them a lot in my Personal Finance classes to teach students different topics like saving vs investing or how to calculate compound interest or other types of calculations. I feel like there are a ton of great video resources out there to use especially if students struggle learning about certain topics or you maybe aren't as much of an expert on a topic as you would like.

As a resource teacher, I work with students with behavioral difficulties in social groups. I have used videos with some of these groups when we are reviewing a boys town social skill. An example of this is that one of my groups, we created a video of how to follow recess expectations and how not to follow expectations. This was an engaging and fun way to have students use technology for instructional purposes.

I have been using videos to start our science lessons. We are incorporating interesting videos into the beginning of our science lesson to get kids thinking and asking questions. This way they are able to be more hands on through science. I will begin to create videos to introduce the science lessons after learning about these ways to create videos.
I also use videos frequently to do a read aloud showing the students the page of the book rather then them looking at the reader. This helps my students who are at a higher level of reading to follow along with the words in the book and the students at a lower level can look at the pictures and visualize. I have found this really helps students learn sight words.

My Marketing students do a lot of presentations. I think some video tools might help them become more "presentation savvy." It's always interesting to see how differently the students' brains work when given a new tool.

I have used short videos for flipped classroom assignments. I also know there are multiple instructional videos on writing persuasive and argumentative essays. I like to use them and share them on Classroom with my students because even though I present very similar information, sometimes a different instructor says something that connects the dots for a specific student. It is also nice that they can go back and review the instructions.  I would like to make my own instructional video on writing a 5 paragraph essay. I currently give students what I feel is an in-depth written explanation, but I find they are still coming to me for clarification, especially on essays later in the year. If I made an instructional video, they would have a reference to use whenever they need it. . . maybe even for other classes!

I use videos in several different ways. I often use short videos (3 minutes or less) to preview or introduce a new topic or idea. This often happens in science. My favorite video usage is student-created videos in my classroom. I do this primarily through Seesaw. Students will record a partner reading their story or record themselves solving a math problem. They can do the voice-over to explain their thinking as we go as well. Plus, it shares with their parents which is fun for all! In terms of more "official" videos, we also use Book Creator and turn them into videos as they read their creations aloud. This project is a student favorite and it is rewarding to see how excited they are about their work! I've used Screencast-omatic once or twice, but have found that students didn't truly absorb the directions like they do in person (at least that particular class didn't--possibly I should try again!)

I absolutely love using video resources in my classroom.  I teach both 4th and 5th grade science, and I've found some really great short video resources out there.  I usually teach my lesson, and then we watch the videos afterward as a review.  Crash course videos on youtube are amazing.  I've used screencast-o-matic before to record directions for a project, and then I post the video to Schoology for the kids to access.  This saves the teacher so much time, as I don't have to repeat directions over and over.  I believe all videos save the teacher time!  I like that you're able to pause videos to take notes, or rewind if you didn't get the concept the first time.  Posting on schoology allows for parents to help students at home as well.

I have already began using video resources in my human service and business classes for unit projects. During our Shark Tank unit, students create "commercials" to advertise their product. This was by far the students favorite project and I had the opportunity to learn about editing apps from the students. I am currently exploring different options to record my math lectures and posting them to google classroom. I believe this would not only help students that are absent, but also help parents assist their students with homework at home. In our 5th grade classrooms we often use Brain Pop videos to hook the students attentions or to review material. I would eventually like to use video presentations for an option for students to demonstrate their understanding of concepts. I haven't quite developed a rubric or what exactly this option will look like for my students. However, I know some of our students have test anxiety and would benefit from having alternative ways to demonstrate their knowledge other than paper and pencil. This also gives students a chance to individualize their learning and show their creativity.

I will absolutely be using videos as a part of my classwork.  First I love making videos personally.  I do some editing work for church (just imovie stuff), and love making goofy stuff with my kids.  So much of that can be translated into the class.  Illustrate topics visually, and realistically to pull the kids in and let them see things from a different perspective.  Also, I will be teaching business, there are VAST amount of youtube videos on different concepts, product tutorials, etc.. that can be used to demonstrate how the material.  You could also leverage the kids of the classroom to make the videos.  Not only will it be fun way for the students to learn the subject, but seeing their friends doing it will pull other students in.

I currently create video lessons for my students to use on Schoology. These lessons are for them to practice their recorders at home. I have video tutorials on how to play certain songs and this allows students to pause and practice at their own pace. We also do something we call "Music Share Monday" where we use online videos to share music from around the world. I share videos I have found and the students also get to share if they have a video that is music related. These videos give my students the chance to experience music in ways we can't always do within the classroom. We see people creating music in new ways with unique instruments. Videos allow the learning to expand beyond what we can physically do with the limitations of instruments available, space, and cultures within our district.
