Flipped classroom

Hey. So for this flipped classroom lesson I decided to do a "Show me." I purchased an Ipad because I wanted to work on making a portfolio of tutorials and recorded lectures for my students. this assignment introduced me to this. With my Ipad I am figuring out more I can do with technology in the art classroom. Anyway, my SHOW ME is first a tutorial on how to draw perspective, then I show some images from history that show perspective, and then at the end I show an example of something we would be working on in class. My SHOW ME is a little long, But I am beginning to think things like this would be real useful in my art classroom, because then students can always go back and look at how I drew it and walked them through the steps. I wrote a paper this week about how I would teach perspective differently to my students than how I was taught and this is just an added aspect of how I would teach art differently than the traditional way it is taught. enjoy.

Screencast

Well....First off, for some reason it took me a long time to download java. Once I got it going it was fairly easy to finish the assignment. Sarah and I went to cafe diam to figure it out together. It actually was a great help and I think helped me get the assignment done faster. The first recording I messed up on a bunch, and then recorded again and was fairly happy with the outcome. I'm not sure I will use this screen cast idea very much in my Art room. For as an art teacher, during class periods I will be working with the students hands on assignment. I'm sure I can think of a cool homework assignment where the students will need to listen to my voice to fallow directions. Or maybe I can use the screen cast with showing them images of artworks and slides. This is a good thing to know and I hope I find a time to use it in the future.
