Mini video lessons lead to an effective differentiation model

I would like to present a differentiation model using mini video lessons as the scaffold. In this model the specific class is Algebra. The class has many different levels of algebra student as it is the base level course for our high school. As the year progressed I realized that my students needed a different type of instruction than traditional lecture. I tried a variety of approaches, but the differentiated approach has had the most success. In order to implement this I used my iPad and the showme app (free!) to create mini videos. I then downloaded a copy of each video and posted them to YouTube ( makes the videos playable on the most number of platforms). I used my website to list the video concepts in each section. A typical class now looks like this: Each student is watching a video that teaches the concept, on a computer or itouch. The student then does some practice problems on the concept and checks their answers. The teacher coaches them in the practice problems and/or puts them into small groups to work through difficulties. Once the students are confident they take a short concept quiz(no points), when they have completed all the concepts in the section they take a graded quiz. When the students have completed all the minimum sections they have the option to do extra sections that are weighted. Finally each student is given a unit test on the minimum sections.

The session I would like to teach would walk an instructor through the process of creating these videos, and how to make a website to host them.
