Portfolio Question for the day:
WHAT is the Electric Field???
Students:
‘It goes from two charges, like from positive to
negative’ …. Math … textbook pictures … equations …
And then … Students / Teacher
raise questions …
How do you measure it? What
does it do? How do we know it is
there? What can we use it for?

• Finish homework (most problems
were ‘set up’ in class, hard parts
discussed).
• Many students re-watch all or
parts of lecture videos.
• And … watch videos for

easier to understand
‘Feel like you are at my shoulder’

Better understanding, answer questions, helps me
understand the homework, like the ‘real stuff’
‘I don’t feel stupid asking questions’

The
Classroom : What Can Go Wrong?
Video lectures
80-85% watch videos before class (what about the rest?)
‘Class is really confusing if you haven’t watched the
videos’
Format? Accessibility? Content?
In class
Balancing time between discussion (applications, intuitive
understanding) and homework set up
‘Do more/less of the homework in class’

Lectures:
•1 hour of class = about 20 minutes of video lecture
•Takes me 1-2 hours to record and upload.
•Easier to record 3-5 minute videos (if you mess up,
you delete only a little and start over)
•DON’T expect to be perfect, don’t re-record for every
small mistake or um blip. (Give extra credit to find your
mistakes.)
•Extra examples, more detailed videos are often
appreciated as complementary (but not required)
watching
•Start at the END of your class (last 1/3), and build
forward each year. Or start with examples only.
