Flipped Learning Resources


I am trying to catch up. As usual, this time of the year is the worst period for professional development, but I'm going to try anyway.

I have taken some time to consider some of the screencasting tools suggested:

Screencast-o-matic - a really useful tool but the free version doesn't allow to edit the video.

Screenr - easy to use, allows you to pause during recording if you need a break but doesn't allow you to save the recording into a file.

Edpuzzle - allows you to use a recorded video (yours or from youtube), crop it, add your voice and a quiz. 

Educanon - allows you to upload a video from Youtube, Vimeo, TeacherTube and SchoolTube and add different types of questions.

Zaption - allows you to build learning tours, putting together selected parts of videos from Youtube and adding questions.

Powerpoint - I have found the suggested presentation very useful. I think I will follow the instructions and try to record a narration for one of my old presentations.

Educreations - I used it last year to record a video lesson on a grammar topic: it is useful but you have to record the whole lesson in one session because you can't pause the recording; you can upload images or documents from your photo library, your Dropbox or Google Drive accounts or you can take a photograph and write on it.

ShowMe - it has got more or less the same features as Educreations. It is a whiteboard where you can import images or documents (photo library, Dropbox, Google Drive or the web) or choose from one of the provided backgrounds. Backgrounds are particularly useful for Maths teachers.
