Trying too hard...


This is really funny video!


I understand the desire to get on the social media bandwagon but it is sad to see how it ends up either pandering to the younger generation or characterizing them.  I love this quote from Clifford Stoll who predicted 1995 Newsweek article that the internet was a "dead-end."  Later he would retract this and say this:  "If you really want to know about the future, don’t ask a technologist, a scientist, a physicist. No! Don’t ask somebody who’s writing code. No, if you want to know what society’s going to be like in 20 years, ask a kindergarten teacher."

Great little tutorial video about how to do a "Flipped-Classroom"

Great little tutorial video that I came across about how to produce a "flipped-classroom" video.  I am definitely going to play around with this and see how this can be used to a church context.

I produced my first "Flipped Church" video for our church.  It was super simple and just followed the instructions on this video.

Keeping it simple for now... I will hopefully "graduate" to the green screen in the near future.
