Flipped Coach, Jason Hahnstadt has found many technical apps to make his job easier.  The most recent one "Coach Notes".  Coach Hahnstadt seems to like this app over the others he's tried.  Using this app allows him to communicate information to students and co-workers in a timely fashion. The application frees up time to allocate to other important things. Classroom time is valuable and its always nice when you don't have to spend it lecturing.

The use of classroom technology is definitely making it easier for you to control your teaching time. Technology such as pod casting and video's are benefits to students and teachers.  One advantage for students is the students have a chance to review information early and over and over if they need to and for the teachers, more application time to practice the information is allowed. The apps available to help with this process are incredible. My preference is Drop Box. I like the versatility of this app.  Video's are automatically accessed on all Ipads.  Students can upload anything from documents to video.  I think this is a neat feature. 


The videos on flipping your classrooms are a great way to get your point across.  I would like to use a flipped classroom as a teaching tool because of the time I can engage students.  I do not look forward to spending most of my time lecturing to a class. The students can learn at their own pace, allowing me time to spend with the students who need more one on one assistance and allowing effective remediation through technology are all reasons for using the flipped classroom approach.

The Flipped Coach made Youtube videos in about 15 minutes using his Ipad and his co-teacher for demonstrating test for their fitness program.  He recorded instructions for the test and once class started he was able to show the videos with examples of each test to be performed. He was able to do this the morning of his class.  Great use of technology in the classroom to enhance instruction.
