Resources for teaching lessons from your computer. For now, the resources are aimed for creating lessons that you then share for asynchronous access (you are not teaching a live lesson).
ScreenCastify (you capture your screen and your voice in a lesson. LearnZillion and Khan Academy do this quite effectively. I am a LearnZillion “Dream Team” member. This means not only do I have my Masters in Online Learning and Teaching, but I also have an in depth understanding through training offered by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation around teaching math online. Here are some of my lessons I created through this PD and summer work.
Each lesson was required to have a single learning goal AND the strategy utilized. Each video has a very specific format and requirements for visuals and word choice. It took HOURS to build out a slide show that would flow as we recorded ourselves. Do NOT let a district tell you that you should be cranking one of these out every day or so.
