Much emphasis was given to technology enhanced learning at the ‘Festival of Education’ held at Wellington College in June 2012. I got interested in screencasting and bought myself a Bamboo medium fun tablet (and it comes with 3 softwares Art Rage, Photoshop elements and Corel, purchased from amazon for £160), an Yeti microphone (£95) and camtasia studio 8 (~£100) to record screen movements. Fantastic help is available from Techsmith on Camtasia. I use Art Rage as whiteboard to write something. Below is a compilation of resources which may be useful for a new comer.
YouTube Resources on Flipped Classroom
Flip teaching is a form of blended learning which encompasses any use of Internet technology to leverage the learning in a classroom, so a teacher can spend more time interacting with students instead of lecturing. (Wikipedia)
1. ‘Flipteaching’ by Ramsey Musallam is a 4 part video available on YouTube. Ramsey Musallam has a PhD in chemical education. His thesis ”The effects of using screencasting as a multimedia pretraining Tool to manage the intrinsic cognitive load of Chemical equilibrium instruction for advanced high school Chemistry students” can be found here.
