As the transition of education goes back to mastery learning or objective based learning. I see the need for videos as an aid for teachers. We have all heard of Khan Academy or maybe Sophia.org and other sites that have large amounts of videos that teachers can use as a resource to reteach or even teach topics. This has become a major part of the transition of the role of a teacher I believe. Here are Webb City we have teachers wanting to use videos to aid in instruction, which is a must. A teacher then gives the students the chance to be a guide to learning instead of the so called "sage on the stage".
The question I have what about the teacher that wants to flip and create their own video. I have been creating videos for our students to the new features of google and their chromebooks. I use Camtasia which does cost a little money, but it is easy to use and create. I am a tech savvy person so this causes no problem for me to create and post my videos, but what about the non-tech savvy person?
I would suggest that we transition to finding videos first. Use outside resources to aid in your classroom. Hopefully your school has the filter opened to these resources even YouTube so you can use these resources.
Here are a few of the links that I have mentioned and would look at using:
www.sophia.org
www.khanacademy.org
Camtasia
www.screencast-o-matic.com
If you have a resource or comment I would love to continue my learning on this topic also.
