I love your idea and I would use it much like C. Webster as Emergency Sub Plan. There are always topics from previous years that students would benefit from a review. If you know your content, plans can be created during the summer break, used to prepare students for End of Year testing, and used year after year; however, I think I would create a podcast instead of DVD. Great Job!

Can I use this as an opportunity to request elementary PE sub plans? Click on my name to leave a post at my site if you all have any ideas.

Brilliant! Unlike most of your other readers, I’ve never heard of anyone making a video sub plan. (Apparently, I’ve been hiding under a rock or something.) I LOVE IT!! I’ve already started developing some ideas of my own implementing similar strategies. It occurred to me that I could do this with my “Emergency Sub Plans”. There are always topics from previous years that students would benefit from a review. For 8th graders in my school these review topics include probability, compound probability, Pythagorean Theorem, and percent change. What an excellent way to develop emergency sub plans that could be used year after year. If I make it to the end of the year without having to use the emergency plans it would make a great tool (perhaps in segments) to help prepare the students for End-of-Grade testing.
I concur with your assessment. You got it right on this one.

I saw Asimo serving coffee on the nightly news—next step is a robotic Mr Meyers with a plug and play option for DVD. I wonder what the kids would do? Do you have a wife?

Sweet.

This is up there with John Maklary using Ustream to teach his class while he was home sick.

Keep up the great work.

The very much non-School 2.0 way to deal with this is to make sure that the sub you hire for your class is the retired guy from your department who is so bored at home that he WANTS to come in and teach.

That’s what I do, at least. Though this looks wicked cool too.
