Creating Resources

Creating resources can seem daunting when you first start to flip/blend a classroom. Try a few different methods and see what works best for you. 

        • Record on iPad
        • iMovie
        • Clips (iPad app)
        • Screencastify

    No matter what method you choose, be sure to find the hardware to support you. For me, that meant getting an iPad stand that I could set up permanently in my classroom to record art demos. Others swear by lapel microphones and/or external mics. Just remember, you don't need special equipment to get started, but it may be useful down the line. 

    Don't worry about making it perfect. I received this advice at a conference years ago and it changed the way I approach video in my classroom. If you spend hours editing your videos to make them perfect, you'll never have enough time to create the resources your students need. Let go of perfection and get creating, you'll be grateful you did!
