Having spent some time setting up the structure of my reverse learning classroom I have now truly flipped it by making my own knowledge front loading videos. \u00a0The final push was that I could not find anything on the web that was just right for my class to cover the concepts of power and efficiency.<\/p>\n
I used camtasia recorder to simultaneously capture my screen (writing onto a Smart Note) and my webcam (so adding my face to the proceedings). \u00a0It took me a little time to get the section of the screen I wanted to capture correct and I also had to place a pile of books behind my screen to keep it still whilst I was recording. \u00a0Yet these were minor teething issues.<\/p>\n
For the structure of the vodcast I wanted to keep it short and too the point with; key formula, discussion and then example (s). \u00a0I mapped out what I wanted to point out on paper and placed the discussion point and example question at the top of different SmartNote pages. \u00a0Structured so I could go over all in one take requiring no time consuming editing – which I managed.<\/p>\n
Camtasia recorder automatically transferred the recorded content into a camtasia editing suite in which I added a title screen and then uploaded directly onto my youtube channel. This was incredibly easy!<\/p>\n
So here is my first video discussing power:<\/p>\n

Here is my second video discussing efficiency:<\/p>\n

I look back on them and already have some issues.<\/p>\n
1) My handwriting is not great and this is accentuated by writing onto the tablet screen.<\/p>\n
