Intentions

Show how schools can create a Video library by staff
Main message
From experienced to newly qualified teachers we all need support when it comes to technology. On most staffs, there are pockets of teachers who are experts in the use of different digital tools. The use of instructional videos enables schools to harness this expertise and develop an in-house library of videos made by the teachers on the staff for teachers on the staff. The Flipped STAFFroom is a simple approach that provides teachers the time needed to understand the new developments in technology which are relevant to the day to day running of their school e.g. the use of G-Suite for Education or similar. It can also act as an induction resource for new staff members to a school who might be unfamiliar with the technology used in the school. By empowering teachers to recognise their technical expertise and to provide them with a platform to share this knowledge with their colleagues school leaders will promote a culture of collective and collaborative practices amongst teachers. This workshop will demonstrate how to create simple effective Instructional videos and screencasts using your a iPad, laptop and mobile phone that can be stored on the school cloud based repository.
