Steve Dickie replied to John Garrett's discussion 'Reverse Teaching at Middle School in a suburban/urban district'
Kids often have trouble listening to lectures in person, so it's no surprise they also have trouble online. There really is no way around this. It is an inherent problem with lecture. One thing you might try is to have your students watch some…

I think your missing a key idea behind ScreenChomp, that may be a fault of the reviewer though. You are right, if you use ScreenChomp as outlined there is little that is revolutionary about it. But, there is little that is revolutionary about Doceri…

I've played with this a bit. I've summarized some of my experiences at: http://ipad.flosscience.com/ipad--home/screen-sharing You mint also look at a Doceri. It's a bit pricey, but looks cool. Personally, I use AirSketch most of the…

I see I misunderstood what you were talking about. There still is an advantage to the tablet. The Tablet is mapped to my screen. That is to say the top right corner is the top right corner and the bottom left is the bottom left. This make it much…

I really like my wireless tablet. I much prefer it to my Wiimote Whiteboard. I can use it anywhere in my room. I never stay in one place while I'm teaching. With my tablet in hand I can go from one on one help to whole class help without taking…

One can hope, unfortunately people pay for the convenience of having someone to yell at when things don't work perfectly. I can't tell you how many educators who've told me they're not allowed to have any free software installed…

Actually the Wiimote is only $40 on Amazon. All together you should be able to get your whole system together for under $100. I gave a workshop on this once. You can find my collected knowledge on the subject at wiimote.flosscience.com

We've been using Google Apps for a couple of years now and have had no problems. Teachers do not all need to be administrators on apps. In fact in our school of 70ish faculty we currently have 6 administrators and only two of us actually muck…

My feelings on the DOE report (cross posted from my blog)

Posted on April 11, 2007 at 6:07am 5 Comments

I missed this when it first came out, but I've been seeing the repercussions all over the web.

Recently the DOE released the findings of a study they'd done on the

effectiveness of software in reading and mathematics. The basic finding

was that software does not help. There are… Continue

Yes, I've used LoggerPro for video analysis before. But the video clips always take up a lot of room and I figure that the clips with more fps are even bigger.

Thanks for the use of all your videos. I'll probably start with that to get the hang of it while I do some research on actual cameras. I'm worried about having enough computer power to be able to process the videos for analysis. One of my students actually had a camera that we used to shoot some clips of our water rockets but the video just made our school computers crash. What fps do you recommend?

Hi Steve,

With your love of Technology and Web 2.0 Integration, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.

Thanks for your feedback Steve. I've shared the responses with the art teacher.

Hi Steve. I was wondering if you have students or educator friends who would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

I actually did a bit of research after I asked the question and it turns out that a kid can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes and then take the file from MyMusic and load it onto the Zune. The Zune software will do the necessary file conversions.

Thanks again, Steve. I got it up and running on iTunes. Do you know how to have a student download the podcasts on a Zune?

That's what I thought. I use Camtasia, so the iPod conversion wouldn't do much for me. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks Steve. Do you use the free account, or do you pay for your account? If you pay, what is the benefit?
