Whether students do the advance work at home or in class, these tools help teachers track their work and assess their understanding.

Flipped classroom, flipped learning-you've probably heard these phrases in recent years, and you may be wondering how this strategy works.

Flipped lessons replace teacher lectures with instructional material-often a video-that students watch and interact with at home. They apply what they learned in class the next day through a variety of activities or assignments that could once have been homework, with the teacher working as a coach or guide.

The benefits include allowing students to work at their own pace, to determine for themselves the material they need to review, and to apply concepts in different contexts in class to ensure that they thoroughly understand of the content.

But this model can be unsuccessful if students don't do the advance work-if they don't have access to reliable internet outside of school, for example. Students who are unable to complete the advance work the evening before find themselves either unable or ill-prepared to participate in class activities the following day.

One solution is to keep the advance work in the classroom-students can reap the benefits of flipped instruction while doing everything in class. In this model, teachers give their students time to watch the video or read a text in class; students then do the follow-up work, with the teacher providing help and guidance as needed. This is extremely helpful for students who need help with the content they're learning in the video.

The teacher still moves from being the "sage on the stage" to the "guide on the side" by providing individualized help for each student. While some teachers may prefer to avoid whole-class direct instruction, others may find it helpful for their students when reviewing content or demonstrating or revisiting a concept. Part of the beauty of the in-class flipped model is that it provides a great deal of flexibility for teachers based on their students' needs.

Structure of a Flipped Lesson

Flipped lessons can take a variety of forms. Some flipped lessons stand alone, meaning that students learn the content presented in an instructional video or text and demonstrate their understanding through an assessment, project, etc., before moving on to the next concept. Other lessons may take the form of a unit HyperDoc that requires students to progress through a series of lesson components designed to encourage them to engage with and explore content, apply what they've learned, and extend their knowledge.

Google Classroom: Teachers use Google Classroom in a variety of ways-to deliver assignments to students and to provide effective and efficient feedback, for example-and it can be a great landing page for students as they navigate assignments. At the beginning of a lesson, teachers can direct students to assignment goals, objectives, and instructions in Classroom. Classroom can also be used to distribute a lesson's digital texts and other resources.

In flipped environments where students take notes on instructional videos digitally, Classroom can be used to assign a unit Google Doc to students for that purpose. Teachers can establish this procedure as a norm at the beginning of the school year so students know that they should begin each class period by going to Google Classroom.

Edpuzzle: Instructional videos are an important component of the flipped classroom. While there are many schools of thought concerning teacher presence and action in these videos and how long they should be, most teachers would agree that students should be held accountable for the video content and that teachers should have a way to monitor student progress and provide timely feedback.

Edpuzzle allows teachers to do just that, and it provides teachers with the ability to embed a variety of formative assessments into videos they create or use from other sources. Students can access Edpuzzle videos from any browser or through iOS or Android apps, so it's very convenient.

Padlet: After students have viewed an instructional video, it's a good idea to provide them with an opportunity to reflect on the content. Padlet provides teachers with a way to have students not only review and reflect on content, but also collaborate with their peers.

Teachers can create a new Padlet wall for each video or unit and encourage students to ask questions and answer their peers' questions about content as a review for unit assessments. Using an extension such as Screencastify, teachers can create screencasts of the Padlet wall for their students to use as a study aid.

Quizizz: Formative assessment is extremely important in any classroom, and flipped classrooms are no exception. The flipped strategy puts more responsibility for viewing and interacting with content on the students, and formative assessment is therefore needed after every video.

Teachers can create gamified formative assessment activities for their students using Quizizz and assign these activities as homework, which allows the students to play the games individually. Quizizz activities can also be used as a whole-class formative assessment-students enjoy Quizizz because of the gamified component of the activity and the memes that greet them when they respond to each question.

With the help of these tools, teachers can implement a flipped classroom approach-with students working on their own either at home or in the classroom-and provide a more individualized learning experience for all of their students.

What is CamStudio?

CamStudio is a desktop software for Windows computers that can record all on-screen video and audio activity, creating industry-standard AVI video files and optionally turn those into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs) using its built-in SWF Producer.
Here are just a few ways you can use this software:
You can use it to create demonstration videos for any software program

Or how about creating a set of videos answering your most frequently asked questions?

You can create video tutorials for school or college class

You can use it to record a recurring problem with your computer so you can show technical support people

You can use it to create video-based information products you can sell

You can even use it to record new tricks and techniques you discover on your favourite software program, before you forget them

Don't like the sound of your voice? No problem.

CamStudio can also add high-quality, anti-aliased (no jagged edges) screen captions to your recordings in seconds and with the unique Video Annotation feature you can even personalise your videos by including a webcam movie of yourself "picture-in-picture" over your desktop.

And if all that wasn't enough, CamStudio also comes with its own Lossless Codec that produces crystal clear results with a much smaller filesize compared with other more popular codecs, like Microsoft Video 1.

You have total control over the output of your video: you can choose to use custom cursors, to record the whole screen or just a section of it and can reduce or increase the quality of the recording depending on if you want smaller videos (for emailing to people, for instance) or you can have "best quality" ones for burning onto CD/DVD.

But all of these features would be worthless if CamStudio wasn't easy to use ... fortunately that's not the case. CamStudio can be learned in a matter of minutes and comes with a comprehensive built-in helpfile, so if you do manage to get stuck, you can simply hit "Help" and get the answers you need.

So where can I get CamStudio and how much does it cost?

You can download CamStudio and use it completely free - yep - completely 100% free for your personal and commercial projects as CamStudio and the Codec are released under the GPL (for more details on this license, click here.)

There are no royalties or any monies to pay.

CamStudio's History

CamStudio was originally released by a company called RenderSoft who were subsequently bought by a company called eHelp who used some of the technology in their program, RoboDemo ...

Some time later, eHelp was bought by Macromedia who wanted RoboDemo (which was to become Captivate) ...

Knowing that CamStudio did some of the stuff RoboDemo did for free (mainly export to streaming Flash), they released a newer version which fixed some bugs but most importantly, removed certain features. Gone was the ability to create SWFs, added was the requirement to register to use it, and over time, links to the various webpages that had CamStudio and its source code, became broken.

However, I managed to find an earlier version complete with the related CamStudio video codec and the source code for both then put the website up so people could download them.

Issues

A number of people have mentioned having trouble viewing SWF videos generated by CamStudio. It turns out there's a bug which means you can't see anything if you try watching them with Netscape or Firefox (Internet Explorer works fine) ...

The next update (2.5) will fix this but until then, here's a temporary workaround:

I seem to be getting a lot of questions about a registration code ... the version of CamStudio available from this site doesn't require registration AND has more features, so uninstall v2.1 from your system, download and install CamStudio from here and you're good to go!

If your computer's memory or virtual memory usage starts climbing rapidly when viewing a SWF authored by CamStudio to the point when your PC locks up so you have to reboot it, recreate the SWF from your source AVI file and in SWF Producer, make sure you select the Advanced tab and check the Memory Management tickbox (Manage Flash player internal memory). That should sort the problem out. Thanks to Ben Ward for the fix.

CamStudio Updates

V3

It's been a looooong time coming, but yes a brand new version of CamStudio is almost ready.

V3 is a completely new codebase for using the "ScreenRecorderLib.dll" which is a .NET library for screen recording in Windows 8 OS and above (sorry Win7 users), using Microsoft Media Foundation for real-time encoding to H.264 MP4 video or PNG image files.

You will need the following files installed on your Windows 8+ machine to run CS3:

I recommend rebooting your computer after each installation.

Here is the download link, but please be advised, you should class this as an "Alpha" level release.
DOWNLOAD CAMSTUDIO 3 (ALPHA)
I don't think it will cause any issues, damage or generally screw anything up however, I can't 100% guarantee it (no software author can.)

So by downloading CS3 (or CS2.x for that matter) you agree to not hold me liable for any problems either software might cause.

I'm hoping to open source the code in the near future, but right now I want to get CS3 stable enough before I move forward with making the code available.

Forum

The forum has been out of action for quite a while now, thanks to spammers however, I do intend on setting up a new support forum and all future V3 support will be handled on there.

CamStudio.org will be moving to a faster hosting setup soon - details to follow.

If you'd like to be notified when I have some news related to CamStudio, check this page or the forum (link opens a new window) and you'll be kept "in the loop" ...

Spread The Word About CamStudio ...

I'd really appreciate any help or love to help spread the word about CamStudio - it's real "labour of love" - so please tell as many people as possible about V3 coming soon.

If you'd like to link back to this site, here's some example code you can use:

A Plea For Help ...

I've got big plans for CamStudio and want to continously improve it and the Codec as well ... but I'm not a programmer.

The potential for CamStudio to be used as a professional training and support tool is huge and not just in the information technology and internet marketing arenas, but also in diverse markets and tasks like home eduation, recording online geneological research, keeping a video record of special offer prices on your favourite snowboarding (or whatever) website - you get the idea ...

It doesn't matter if you're at home in Las Vegas or on an Alaskan Cruise - if you've got a laptop or PC you can use CamStudio.

So if there are any Visual C++ programmers out there that have Flash, video encoding and codec experience who'd like a challenge, please get in touch.

So, at some point in the near future I'd like to start accepting donations so any coders that work on this project will get some kind of financial reward in addition to the warm, fuzzy feeling they get from helping to resurrect this cracking piece of software ... so if you're feeling generous, please get in touch at the email address above and let me know.

I'd also love to get your feedback on CamStudio ... what you liked, what you thought sucked and what you think is missing.

A "webquest" is an activity involving answering or researching a set of questions related to the topic, and doing a series of activities based on online research.

A webquest is an innovative way to encourage you to learn. There are other benefits:

You will learn at your own pace

You will be using a range of different formats (images, videos, audio files, text, podcast etc.)

You will be developing your academic skills

You will be developing your thinking skills

.... and many more :)

You will be given primarily online sources which will help you to answer the questions and do the task.

You will get the instructions how to do the task and in what format. Sometimes, it will be a worksheet with your notes. Sometimes it will be a product such as a presentation or an infographic which you will demonstrate/display.

I hope you will like it :)

What Is a WebQuest?

WebQuests can be simply defined as online-based lessons built by teachers for their students. This educational technique is an innovative way for teachers to make students more-enthusiastic about tackling assignments. The same energy students usually devote to finding sources can now be put towards information analysis. All of the research required for a WebQuest is internet-based, with the teacher being the one to provide links to required reading.

Instead of just going about research in a linear way, a WebQuest will put the student into the shoes of someone who has lived the topic being researched. For example, the student can take the role of a citizen of Ancient Egypt or member of a lost tribe or even an astronaut. It's all at the discretion of the teacher, since he/she is the one providing them with the prerequisite material needed to successfully complete the course.

Quick Characteristics of a WebQuest

It is classroom-centered.

It promotes the creative use of information instead of just gathering information. Owing to this, it allows pupils/students to think more critically.

Majority of WebQuests come in the form of group work, with division of labor.

It differs from traditional teaching methods in that it keeps students interested and involved.

Screencast-O-Matic Tutorial - FREE Screen Recording Tool

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Are you looking for an affordable, beginner-friendly way to make professional-quality videos? ScreenPal's free screen recorder makes it easy to record your webcam, screen, or both.

Follow this step-by-step guide, and you can create perfectly polished videos in no time. Use the screen recorder to make how-to videos, tutorials, e-learning videos, product walkthroughs, and more.

Take it from digital marketing expert Kristian Ole Rorbye . He says the screen recorder helps him foster clarity and connection with his team and customers. "I record a lot of guides and how-to videos about how to use online services," he says. "This gives a far more personal touch where my viewers can see and understand what's going on."

This guide is for beginners, so if you already know the basics and you're looking to dig deeper, check out the Ultimate Guide on How to Screen Record or visit the blog for additional screen recording tips.

If you're a beginner, keep reading to get started.

Getting Started With the Free Screen Recorder:

Choose which device to use for recording. ScreenPal is available on multiple devices including Windows PC, Mac and Chromebook.

Here's how to access the desktop screen recorder:

A pop-up will appear indicating that the recorder is launching. If it doesn't appear, download the recorder app.

The Screen Recorder will pop up on your screen. Now you can start recording.

Here's a tip for Chrome users:Get quick access to our video creation tools by launching the screen recorder with the Chrome browser extension.

You can also use the free screen recorder with your Android and iOS iPhone iPad devices. You can download those separately from the Google Play and Apple Store. We have separate tutorials for those in our Tutorials page.

Recorder Controls:

Within the recorder, you'll notice a range of customization options to tailor your video to your needs. First, decide how you'd like to record.

Screen - This allows you to record everything within the recording frame on your screen.

Webcam - Record yourself using your webcam. You may want to do a camera test before recording. Check if you have other webcam sources that may work better for your recording.

- Show your webcam and your screen simultaneously. When you use the Both screen recorder with webcam, our webcam will show up as a tile in the corner of your recording window, and you can move it around the screen as needed. This option imparts a personal touch to videos and enables you to gesture to information on your screen while presenting.

Note these other essential controls before recording:

Max Time - Record up to 15 minutes per video for free, or upgrade to a Deluxe or Premier account for unlimited recording time. You can record as many videos as you want with both the free and paid versions of the screen recorder.

Size - For easy resizing, choose a preset recording window size of 480p, 720p, Active Window, or Full Screen. For a custom size, click and drag the corners and sides of the frame.

Audio Narration - Add voice narration from your selected microphone. The screen recorder can also record audio sources connected to your computer. You may want to mic test (microphone test) before you start audio recording.

Computer Audio - The free recorder will only capture narration. Upgrade to our Deluxe or Premier plan to use the screen recorder with audio .

Trim, Upload, and Publish Options

When you stop recording you can save and share your video or enhance it with a few finishing touches.

Trim - Trim awkward moments from your video's start and end by clicking and dragging the timeline.

Captions - You can also add captions for accessibility. Click "CC," then upload your captions file. With a Deluxe or Premier account, you can also use speech-to-text to auto-generate captions or type them manually in the Interactive Captions Editor.

There are several easy ways to upload and publish your video. Choose the one that best suits your situation.

Save as a video file - Save as an mp4 (recommended), AVI, or FLV file. Then select a destination folder on your device. Give your video a name so you can find it later, and click "publish."

Upload to ScreenPal - You can upload your video directly to your hosting account on ScreenPal and share it with your audience. To do this, you'll need to sign up for an account or connect an existing one.

Share on YouTube - Uploading your video to YouTube is a swift and straightforward process. Click "launch web browser" and follow the steps. Then fill in the information, and your video will upload straight to your designated YouTube account or channel.

Share on Google Drive - You can share your videos and recordings easily on your Google Drive account.

Upgrade for more uploading options. By clicking on the '+' button on top of your menu, you can publish to other sites, including Vimeo and Dropbox.

Create With the Free Screen Recorder

The Screen Recorder unlocks countless ways to create professional, high-impact videos. Record training videos, tutorial videos, how-to videos, product demo videos, YouTube videos, and more.

You can stop there, or if you'd like to add text, images, screenshot captures, music, or other edits, try the video editor.

Please visit our blog and video tutorials to gain more insight on how to add more to your videos.

Recording screencasts is one relatively easy way to get started making videos in your classroom. Today, I helped some middle school students make screencasts in which they explained the animations they made to represent forms of energy. Those students used Screencastify on their Chromebooks to make their videos. But Screencastify isn't the only screencasting tool that will work on a Chromebook. Here are eight tools that can be used to create screencasts on Chromebooks.

Screencastify was one of the first screencasting tools made for Chromebooks. It's a solid product and is easy to use. You can record your screen, your screen and your webcam, just your screen, or just your webcam. The free version puts a watermark on the recording and doesn't support direct download to MP4. On the upside, there is an option to upload directly to YouTube, to save directly to Google Drive, and to share directly to Google Classroom.

For many years Screencast-o-matic has been my favorite tool for creating screencast videos on Windows and Mac computers. Now it is available to use on Chromebooks too. To use Screencast-o-Matic on a Chromebook just go to this page and click "launch recorder." You can record your screen or your screen and your webcam simultaneously. You can narrate your videos by using your Chromebook's built-in microphone or by using an external mic like a Blue Snowball. The free version of Screencast-o-matic will let you record for up to 15 minutes, record as many videos as you like, and save to your Google Drive or local drive.

Padlet is known as a digital corkboard to which students add notes, links, pictures, and videos. But ff you install Padlet's Chrome extension you can launch a screen recording tool directly from a Padlet note. You can record your screen and voice for up to five minutes. Your recording will be automatically added to your note when stop your recording.

Loom is a free screencasting tool that works on Chromebooks, Macs, and Windows computers. Loom is a Chrome extension. With Loom installed you can record your desktop, an individual tab, and or your webcam. That means that you could use Loom to just record a webcam video on a Chromebook. Of course, this also means that you can use Loom to record your webcam while also recording your desktop. Loom recordings can be up to ten minutes long. A completed recording can be shared via social media and email. You can also download your recordings as MP4 files to upload to YouTube or any other video hosting service. Loom also has a neat integration with Gmail that makes it easy to send screencasts to anyone who emails you for tech help. Click here to see how that integration works.

Vidyard GoVideo is a free Chrome extension that makes it quick and easy to create and share screencast videos. With the extension installed you can record your entire screen or just one window tab.

Nimbus Screenshot was my favorite tool on this list until Screencast-o-matic launched their Chromebook tool. I like Nimbus because of its ease of installation and it is the only tool on this list that provided a customizable countdown timer. I like the countdown timer because it gives me a few seconds to prepare to start talking over my screencast. The other tools just started recording the second that I hit the record button. Nimbus Screenshot was also the easiest to install and configure on my Chromebook. Screencasts recorded with Nimbus Screenshot can be saved to your local drive or to an online Nimbus account. I usually choose to save to my local drive then upload to my YouTube channel. You can also save to your local drive then send it to Google Drive or another online storage service.

CaptureCast lets you record your webcam while recording your screen which you cannot do with the Nimbus tool. You can choose to record your screen, your screen and your webcam, or just your screen or just your webcam. CaptureCast gives you three options for recording definition. So if you're on a slower network you can choose a lower resolution recording to save processing time. CaptureCast lets you save a recording locally or send it to YouTube or to Vimeo.

Today, I helped some middle school students make screencasts in which they explained the animations they made to represent forms of energy. Those students used Screencastify on their Chromebooks to make their videos.
