Screencasting presentation from Kelton Enich

Although I never got the entire screencast recorded, I did complete the powerpoint as well as the oral presentation. I chose to make a presentation on Shakespeare and his famous Globe Theater. I do plan on completing the real screencast by the end of the semester, considering all the work is done, I just need to record it. The part of the project that I've already completed pretty much just required skills and knowledge that I already have from making presentations in the past. It is the recording that takes some learning. It was interesting to think about "flipping the classroom" while making the powerpoint, knowing that the kids will never see their teacher's face throughout the entire unit. I have to be a lot more thorough when putting it together. I feel like flipping the classroom might be kind of hard with some areas of English. But the prospect of having the students learn information on Shakespeare at home and then reading one of his plays in class is quite exciting. It seems like it would be time-effective. I don't know if I'll use the classroom-flipping tactic super often in my own classroom but I do see the value in making a few throughout the course of the school year. Really big units that require extra instructional time outside of class could be aided greatly by this format of teaching.
