Why do you want to make flipped-class videos?

Good reasons

• Free up class time for interaction• Generate lessons for missing

students• Focus the lesson• Let students review lessons

at home• Go full-flipped

Bad Reasons

• Because everyone else is doing it• So you can slack off

Why make your own?

• Lots and LOTS of great videos on YouTube•Making your own generates a connection with your

students•Present the information how you want• focus your lessons

What is a flipped-class video anyway?• Short Video Lesson•Addresses one or two specific topics•Can be used as a lesson, or to supplement a lesson•Can be made by the teacher, or someone else entirely

This the part you probably came for…

How to make a lesson video

Things you will need:• Ideas• Camera and/or screen capture software• Editing software• Enthusiasm

Bonus: • Pen enabled tablet (for Chalk & Talk style)• Remote mouse/clicker

Ideas

• know what you are going to say. This is important - it is easy to ramble, but you want to keep it short & sweet!• know what you are going to show•Plan to keep it to 10 minutes or less•Use existing lesson presentations as a starting point!

Camera

•Any camera will do.•Digicam •webcam • cell phone • camcorder •DSLR• Tripod is useful too.

Screen capture software

• Camtasia – powerful, but not cheap• CamStudio (http://camstudio.org/) – free but limited• Open Broacdaster (https://obsproject.com/) – free, full featured• Jing (http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html ) - Web based, also from

Techsmith, limited to 5 minutes• Screencast-o-matic (http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/) free

version has watermark• Screencastify – Chrome plugin• Educreations (https://www.educreations.com/ ) - for chalk & talk

style

Video Editing Software

•Adobe Premiere / Premiere Elements•Magix Movie Edit Pro• iMovie (Mac or amore limited version on iOS)•Windows Movie Maker (free, but loathsome) •WeVideo (works with Google Drive)•Camtasia Studio buit-in editor

The Process

• Decide on a format• Spend some time up front planning your video lesson. Know

what you are going to say, know what you want to show.• Edit your PowerPoints (if doing that style of video) to

minimize text, maximize imagery - include animations!• Record your video – you may need to do a few takes, but

don’t worry if it’s not perfect• Edit • Publish

Chalk & Talk style

• Can be done on an iPad using Educreations or ShowMe• On Windows touch-screen computer using OneNote ow

Word and a stylus• On non-touch PC or Mac with a pen tablet

• Run the “white board” medium, run the screen capture, and record.

Narrated Slide Show / PiP slide show•Record the slide show with voice-over narration.•Camtasia integrates with PPT to facilitate this• For picture-in-picture style, run a webcam video

preview in a small window while recording - Some let you keep the window always on top (eg AmCap)

Illustrated Lecture

• Let me explain in video form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ7GANsAtx8

Editing considerations

• If it’s not necessary, cut it. Be harsh.•Cut out “ums” and dead space•Doesn’t have to be beautiful• Images can be overlaid as PiP or floating

(“greenscreened”) with multitrack editors•Use the “zoom” tool frequently to allow precision

edits efficiently

Publishing your video

• YouTube – public or link only•GAFE – now unlimited storage for schools• Sharing directly with students

Overall Considerations

• Find a style you’re comfortable with and works for you• dont worry - quick & dirty is better than nothing, or many

hours making it “perfect”. • jump cuts are perfectly fine• Keep it tight, under 10 minutes if possible. If longer, consider

splitting into parts• have fun with it!

Ninja Level: Special Effects

•Animations in ppt overlaid on live view•Animated titles• Slow or fast motion•Cutting effects (see Georges Méliès) – transporter

effect, dropping from the sky• Split screen effects – talking to yourself

Community support
