Flipping Your Class with Just in Time Recording from Sam Patterson, MFA, Ed.D.
Sam Patterson MFA EdD. I began my teaching journey as a TA working the freshmen composition circuit at San Diego State. The projectors were all overhead and the boards on the wall were only interactive if you and your students each had a piece of chalk. From there I went to middle school and high school, teaching English, a little history, darkroom photography, and Math. This school had Smart boards and I struggled to learn how to make them an effective part of my class. This was during the clear skies era, not a cloud storage system in sight. I remember when I finally learned how to connect a microphone to my computer, my students thought I was crazy. My second school had Smart boards and even less tech sport and vision than my first. I was innovating in a vacuum. I launched a blog to record my attempt to go paperless, and began experimenting with content capture.
I discovered that even a simple recording could be useful to my students because it made time more flexible, it freed me from the relentlessly linear march of time. I can remember telling my 9th graders to pay attention because you can't rewind class and I don't repeat my jokes. How times have changed, now they can rewind the class and I know my instruction, jokes and all, could land in a much wider audience than just my classroom.
As I experimented I learned a lot, sometimes I was lucky enough to fail forward, other times I just failed. There are plenty of challenges to recording lessons and sharing them, let's take a look at which challenges you identified as your biggest barriers.
