Doceri is an iPad application that allows the iPad to act as an interactive whiteboard. I would say that an application like Educreations is easier to use for this type of video creation, but what sets Doceri apart is the addition of Doceri Desktop. Doceri Desktop is a paid software for your computer that allows you to connect your iPad to the computer and use the iPad as the interactive whiteboard to write on whatever is on your computer's screen. This has come closest to what I was looking for. I was trying to find a resource that I could use at home to create videos instead of having to be in the classroom using the Promethean Board.

Quality hub containing several java script physics simulations.

An online file storage website. This website is useful to sync your files between multiple devices as well as sharing files with others. I created a Dropbox account to be able to add images as backgrounds to my Screen Chomp presentation.

A free software (there is a paid option as well) that can screen capture your desktop image and create videos for presentations. This software is limited depending on the version of operating system that you have.

A free iPad application that can be used to create and share videos with verbal and written annotations. I like this app; it is easy to use and self-explanatory. I don't like that you can't type anything into the presentation; everything must be written or spoken.

Another free iPad application that can be used to create and share videos with verbal and written annotations. I think I like this app better than ShowMe because you can add text to your presentation before you record. This was helpful for creating the equations for my videos.

This is the link to the website for the online version of our textbook. I plan to use example problems from this textbook throughout my videos. Each student creates an account so they will have access to this textbook as well. When I assign homework problems from the book, the students do not have to take the textbooks home, as long as they have internet access.

A third free iPad application that can be used to create and share videos with verbal and written annotations. This app does not let you add text to the presentation either. What I do like about this app is that you can add backgrounds from your Dropbox account. (If you need a Dropbox account, I can invite you to get an extra storage space bonus for the both of us!) I can take screenshots of equations or graphs and include them in my presentations.

An online screencast explaining the advantages of GarageBand '08 in creating podcasts. If I were to implement a project requiring students to create a radio broadcast on a significant event in U.S. history I would use this program instead of a free online use by creating an example for the students.

A youtube film created to instruct individuals on how to produce high quality podcasts using audacity. This video consults on how to use effects in podcasts, imbed them in a blog, and upload them for listeners. Highly detailed screencast that uses easy and reliable advice.

Educational blog discussing flipped discussion. The main focus is discussing the role of technology and how too much of the focus on flipped classrooms has revolved around it. The rest of the article is a good breakdown of the main fundamentals about flipped classrooms.

An article from the Washington Post discussing the pros and cons of a flipped classroom and how it can enhance or inhibit a lesson. The idea of our website is to provide this experience and this offers good insight on how to implement this type of lesson.
