Videos on Demand<\/h2>\n

My flip classroom does not include many videos. I create a video at the start (well, usually the start) of each week for each course to let them know what’s going to happen that week and what they should focus on.<\/p>\n

I much prefer video on demand which matches the style of my classroom being focused on what each individual student needs.<\/p>\n

Backlog<\/h2>\n

So I have two video requests so far (that I can recall, feel free to request more).<\/p>\n

This one is about installing Python3 together with Cygwin on Windows. I have all of my students install a similar programming environment of editor\/shell combination to keep my Linux\/Mac\/Windows users in similar setups. The pending video is a request for setting up PyGame with Python3 on Mac, perhaps I will get to that tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Tools<\/h2>\n

I recorded this on Camtasia Studio for Windows<\/a> (since the demo is on Windows) and then pulled the recording into Camtasia for Mac to do the editing. I use the Mac version more often so am more comfortable in that environment. I purchased education licenses for both Windows and Mac and highly recommend these packages if you go beyond what the free software options give you.<\/p>\n
