The biggest idea that I took from this chapter was screencasting. Some of my classes are little more complex than others and on days when I know I'm going to be gone it becomes difficult to leave meaningful lesson plans. I never know who I am going to get as a substitute, what their backgrounds are, and what their abilities are. If I could take some of my more technical lessons and create screencasts, that could help eliminate questions the students (or the sub) may have while I'm gone.
My biggest barrier to doing this is just the time factor. With having a wife that works a 2nd job, two little kids, coaching, advising, and prepping for classes I'm at an all time busy level. I'm going to pencil in some time during Spring Break in a couple of months to really try to test some of these ideas and then this summer work on permanently implementing them into curriculum.

The other piece to think through Dan, is to tackle one Screencast at a time. Don't look for perfection, but rather getting your point across. As you do more of these, you will find that they become easier and your proficiency goes up. You may end up replacing your first screen casts when you have more experience, but it's nice to have them as a starting point.
