An Open Letter to Students Returning to School


So I love Hank and John Green's Crash Course, which is a series of subjects in the "flipped" class format.  One of the things I used to ask my students, is why did the state legislature insist that they go to school.  This video, in three short minutes, does the trick - in case you want some help.

    Thanks for the video. It is so much more entertaining to read your blog now. Now I know how to explain my students the truth behind the state system. They will now understand how much important it is to stay educated even if you have to buy essay papers online from certain services. I will definitely follow your blog for more of these cool posts and I will recommend my students reading it. It is so great to have finally found such a smart person.

    Reusing is the most vital process which spares our the vast majority of the material and instruction causes us a great deal in this way. Instruction presents numerous most recent techniques for reusing and spare many sources.click here

Homework Reminders

When I want to quickly contact my online students, I use Remind.com .  It allows you to send a text without knowing their phone numbers.  Additionally you can set a time for it to be sent.  You can add a link and/or upload a document.  If you choose, you can also text individual students.  All of the texts are recorded and kept as long as you keep the class. Above is a video giving you a great overview and here are several videos explaining how to use different parts of it. If you use Blackboard, the video below shows you how to embed Remind texts into a Blackboard page.

How to Make Your Own Flip & Tutorial Videos

Over the years I have made lots of video tutorial for my blog followers and flip videos for my students .  Every single one of them have been made using Screencastomatic .   You can purchase your own yearly subscription, but I have not only never paid, but also never even set up a free account. You don't need to since you can make the video and then just upload it onto YouTube. Watch the video above and you will be able to see how to record, add you talking (or not) to the recording and to upload it - all in less than two minutes.  Go forth and make your own tutorials and teach lots of others.  In a later post I'll show you how to organize your YouTube video library.

Tech Conferences

On March 7th and 8th I will be at the South by Southwest Education conference in Austin.  Another conference that I have enjoyed is the ISTE one which this year is in Denver from June 26-29 .  The key, if you can do so is to find someone else to pay for you.  For example I am doing work for TES (more on that coming later) and so they are paying my entry ticket. So why bother?  Well first off you will meet lots of tech minded people like yourself and make some connections that you can work with when you return home.  Secondly there are lots of companies showing all of their latest wares and then, there are talks and demonstrations - literally hundreds of them.   If you can't get the big ones, look for one close to home.   Here is a place to start.
