How video instruction can change education
This creative use of video teaching was presented in a fascinating virtual conference by Discovery Education Network. The idea is similar to what's being done in the Khan Academy, which creates video lessons that students can view outside of school, so lecture time can be replaced with practice and small-group and individual instruction.
The video above explains the idea of "flipping" teaching, so lecture is done outside of class and more practice is done during the school day. The video below shows classroom activities, after students have viewed an instructional video.
How-to videos that accompany in-class practice can be produced in a variety of ways. Be sure to check out our videos on screen capture and video-making tools such as Slide Rocket, Jing and YouTube.
