Neil, I agree. Some students do have difficulty retaining lecture content and if this is all we rely one, we're not really helping all students learn at the level they should be learning. Dr. Moody Crews

Katie, Very true. The flipped classroom allows the instructor more opportunity to share experiences because the basics are already set so the discussion should be much richer. Dr. Moody Crews

Austin, Excellent points. It sounds like you've been using this very effectively. Isn't it nice when students come to class ready to discuss. The learning goes so much deeper than by using nothing but the traditional lecture format. Dr. Moody Crews

Kimberlee, Sometimes it is best to move at a slower, more focused pace. Better to do some things well as you feel comfortable rather than jumping in with both feet before you're ready. Continue consulting with colleagues and you will get there. Dr. Moody Crews

Tina, I understand - we've all been there. My suggestion would be to check out the following software/resources: Jing, CamStudio, Shutter, etc. These will help in making your recordings. The Illinois Online Network (ION) also has a lot of resources for teaching on-line or in a blended environment. I hope this helps. Dr. Moody Crews
