Are you looking for ways to deliver content quickly to students so you can use more class time applying concepts or digging deeper into your content?
One popular way of doing this is using the flipped classroom model where students watch a short video of their teacher giving content instruction, then use the majority of the class time to work on activities that apply what they have learned or explore content more deeply. A great tool for teachers to record these videos is Screencast-O-Matic. It is an online video maker (or app) where you can make videos of your computer screen and/or yourself from your computer's webcam. It is easy to use and you can upload your video directly to YouTube. There is a 15 minute limit on length of each video unless you use the pro version and we do have some of those available for free to you, so ask us in the library. The pro version also has some advanced editing tools. This tool could also possibly be used for students to create videos from their PLDs, though they would have to also download and install it.
See this basic "getting started" video to check it out or, as always, stop by the library and we can help you!
