The logic was that I was not going to be at school, and I wanted to cover an Introduction to Argumentative Writing lesson with the English class. I used CamStudio to record a narrated PowerPoint presentation that I would have presented if I were there. I posted the video to YouTube and embedded it in Mr. Langley's Digital Classroom in the Video Lessons page with specific instructions about how to connect up a laptop to both the projector and the auxiliary cable running to the stereo. I felt pretty good that I would not "lose" a day because I couldn't be there. Unfortunately, the sub accidentally bypassed that part of the lesson, for whatever reason - I'm assuming that it was because she was nervous (from what the class relayed to me). Anyway, I assigned the video for homework after I found that the class did not know what I was talking about when I started discussing the next step of argumentative writing. Following is the video:
