Mit Doceri den ersten Schritt zu “flipped classroom”

Doceri ist ein Präsentations-Tool, kann als Whiteboard-Ersatz gesehen werden und liegt nahe bei der Idee der Flipchart. Die einzelnen Slides erinnern an PowerPoint, können sehr interaktiv gestaltet werden. Doceri ist auch ein Screencast-Tool.

Doceri und “flipped classroom” zu kombinieren ist nicht so kühn wie es sich liest.Beim “flipped classroom” geht es doch darum, Basiswissen zum eigenen…

If you are looking at how to make flipped classroom learning videos, either as a way of instructing primarily or as a review tool, an app by Doceri may be just for you.

Doceri is a company that produces interactive apps, either in iOS format, Windows, or desktop versions, where teachers can create a lesson with slides and audio and post them to YouTube. I came across this last year after I had exhausted the free space allowed to non-subscriber users of ShowMe. Because of, well, limited budgets, I was looking for a way to make review videos that could be posted for my students to watch (especially when students are absent or are studying for a test) that was withing my budget, aka free.

This is where I found Doceri.

Doceri is free for tablet usage. To use the free version, the Doceri watermark is posted in the lower right hand corner of each video (you can pay $4.99 to remove the watermark). After you create your slides, you can add audio to match your slides. Once you’ve finished, you can upload your video to a free YouTube account that you create. So far I have created 16 videos posted to my YouTube channel for students to view. It has become a valuable resource for me and I have shared it with my colleagues at school.

I encourage you all to check it out!

You can record your lecture with a camera (or ipad/iphone), and get me the recording afterwards and I can publish it to your course. I have some courses that drop off camcorders and others that share files with me via Google Drive.  I even have one instructor that sends me the recordings created when using Doceri.

You can use personal capture at home or in the office to record them at your leisure and send the recordings to blackboard afterwards for all of your students to watch. Personal Capture records everything showing on your screen, video from your webcam and audio from a mic. Tell us about your recordings so that we can hook in the publishing options.

Coming Soon: One Button Studio.  A physical location, where students and instructors can go and with the push of a single button start recording in a well equipped mini studio.

You have a few options for this.  You can reserve a room that has SBCapture built in, and…

I got my iPad yesterday evening and have been slowly fooling with it and adding things to it. I immediately added Doceri to it yesterday evening though, and downloaded the trial version of Doceri Desktop onto my home computer to do a trial run. Not only could I easily control my computer, but activating the whiteboard feature allowed me to turn the computer into a whiteboard screen. Immediately I saw great potential for my classroom.

Today I taught a math lesson using Doceri Desktop on my school laptop. I stood near the back of the room and was able to write the things the students needed to see while keeping an eye on every student at the same time. No longer did my back have to be turned away from them. They liked it because it "seemed like magic" and they didn't have to worry about me being in the way. I could easily take the iPad to a student's desk to talk with them about the problem as well.

I think that my classroom management will be even better now that I do not ever have to be tied to the front of the room or my laptop again. I'm able to move amongst my students instead of staying across that invisible teacher/student line when at the SMART board.
