Moving Forward

I havent been doing much with Pencasts lately simply because the transition in the technology has made the webcasts easier and easier to create and access.

I have posted most of my class videos for my flipped general chemistry class on my youtube channel:

I am particularly proud of the Chem 1 videos. I actually undertook those AFTER the Chem 1 videos and I think the production quality is much higher.

For those thinking about it. My suggestion is to plan a 4 to 1 ratio in terms of input to output.  A one hour set of videos takes about 4 hours to create and edit.  That is my experience at least.  AND you will get tired of listening to yourself and you will cringe at all the horrible things you dont see yourself doing normally.

What you can do with the video though is so much stronger than the best in class lecture in my opinion.  For example I really like my approach to quantum in the video environment that would have been slow and clunky in the classroom.  (Plus I get to memorialize my awesome Movember mustache for future generations)
