Engagement



I have done some of the other options for this assignment in my classes; therefore, I chose to do the Movenote. I was thinking that this would be a great tool for flipping some of my classes and getting content out very quickly. I always struggle when it is a big lecture day in class because I feel that I am working harder than my students (plus, I commonly get frustrated by dealing with inappropriate behavior as I am trying to teach). This gives me the options to have students watch the lecture at home; use the Chromebooks and headphones in class, and/or have a review session without having students stay after school. I really like this option and feel that it will provide the opening of time in-class for more hands on activities.

My only issue that I had with this site was that it wouldn't allow me to just insert my presentation from google slides.  I had to save it to my device as a pdf first and then post it.  It works great now that I know, but it appears that this shouldn't be the only option.  Just a heads up to anyone else struggling with it.

  1. Is your Movenote linked here? I don't see it. I'm waiting with baited breath...

  3. I agree with the flipped option for Movenote. I also see it being valuable for reteaching....like recording themselves talking through the study guides/creating review videos for each other. Lots of possibilities....can't wait to collaborate on this stuff with my SS peeps this fall!
