Make videos for students. They can watch them in class or for homework. Then, spend your time in class helping students. Reduce or almost eliminate lecture. Students can stop and start the videos as they wish. They go at their own pace. You help those who need it. Flipping your classroom (or in-flipping it as I do) can make a lot of sense if your conditions are right. Flipped classroom co-founder Jon Bergmann talks candidly about the flipped classroom model.
Prepare for criticisms. Understand challenges. Learn from the mistakes others have made. I love using videos to teach the point and click software lessons in my classroom. Whether you’re advanced or a beginner, this conversation brings you to the leading edge of instructional design.

You can start by typing in a script or do like I did and import a PowerPoint file. Then, after you get your script done, the POWER begins. With a click of a button, My Simple Show’s suggestion engine adds suggested pictures and graphics for the animation. You can change it or import your own photos. Then use their narrators or record your own narration!
What a great way to build an animated film to explain, introduce, or teach just about anything. Right now the tool is free. Get started now!
