Whiteboard videos are a multimedia recording that allows one to capture the ideas, collaborations and presentations in video, audio and keystrokes of students, teacher and professionals from a Whiteboard (simulated or real).

What we started out with: Whiteboard Mimio software Camtasia Studio 3 software Dell computer with XP Microphone on computer Projector Interactive tablet

What we have incorporated for our current movies:

Wireless Graphics Tablet Headphones with microphone Internet Website Flash drives, CD’s, DVD’s MP3 players – IRiver, IPods, etc. CD/DVD burner Web Camera for Picture in Picture videos Annotation software Examview Software

Imagine using this in the classroom with the ability to hand the tablet to a student to solve a problem in class…

Imagine using screen recording software to allow students to create their own videos for review or for helping other students…

We would like for you to test out a graphics tablet with annotative software.

We have provided some laptops and wireless tablets around the room for you to use and test out.

Increased visits to website Reviews available 24/7 Use the videos at the first of class to check

homework while I take care of administrative duties

Students using videos on the classroom computers for tutorials

Students requesting more of it on our site Requests on how it is done by other

teachers Students requesting to make videos Discovered other tools to use them with Library using technique to post videos on

accessing online databases, email, etc

“The IPCinema videos on the website are

great! The first video was very useful in helping Jack learn the multiple step conversions. And the

video for the Test Review was really helpful also. I hope you can continue to post these videos because

they are a great learning tool!” - parent

Making training videos such how to use the website, login to the network, saving files

Other teachers now using Whiteboard videos in their classrooms

Newer tools to use Live online tutorials provided for

students Improvement of technique using

additional software

Future look includes interactive Flash quizzes that will be emailed to teacher automatically

Newer techniques – wireless tablets, Podcasting and Vodcasting of lessons, Picture in Picture

Goal for students to create on a daily basis

Create a Wiki of Integrated Physics and Chemistry with videos, notes, definitions, practice problems with solutions, etc

Through the use of Whiteboard videos, I see the

classroom being extended beyond the traditional classroom walls. Student will produce, collaborate, evaluate and post videos. This challenges the student to perform higher

level thinking skills while actively engaged in an activity they see as fun and

entertaining. Students actively participate in the learning process. What better way to get students to learn than to

actively create the content of the course?

Can you see a use for these tools at your campus?

What about Staff Development tools for training teachers to use Email, Gradebook, or to record Attendance?

Do you have a vision for the classroom of the future?

Please contact either one of us if you would like more information.
