The first video

It's been a few weeks since I last posted, I wanted to try and do one a week but it was winter break and...gasp shock horror...I didn't do any work!

I finally bit the bullet and added a voice over to the prezi I created, giving my students an overview of their new unit of work. I found that you can add voice over to each step in the Prezi, in this case I have 15 steps so...that was a lot of stop-start work. I think it looks and sounds pretty good though, so hopefully I am on the right track! I have also found Garageband to be great for the voice overs, this isn't one you see mentioned a lot. Below is the link to the Prezi!

Other than that, not much has been going on in my #flipclass world, I've been burying my head in the sand and panicking a lot but now I have one video created and uploaded onto the school Moodle site, I am feeling more confident. I also completed my sophia.org flipped class certification, and although I already knew a lot of the points covered from my own research and reading other blogs, it was certainly very helpful in reinforcing and of course, finding out things I didn't know :) I really like the sophia platform for posting tutorials and lessons for students, it's pretty clear and straightforward however we already have Moodle and Managebac so having yet another platform seems a bit overkill. I'm also planning on developing a specific website for my courses, just to keep everything together in a format that suits me and my teaching style. I started one with Wix but then discovered that the students couldn't have their own editable pages on it so...back to the drawing board there! If anyone has any ideas feel free to comment!
