Flippin’ Videos Helpful tips to keep in mind:

▪ Chunk info into manageable sections

▪ Add something interactive or engaging

▪ Keep it short! Average 10 min.

▪ Speak clearly

▪ Make a script/notes for students with accomodations/ELL students

▪ Don’t worry if it’s not perfect!

▪ Start simple! You can get fancy later

Non-Video flippers:

▪ Use your sources! Make sure you watch it first and make a quiz or outline notes to go with it

▪ You don’t always have to assign videos- you can give interactive websites or webquests. Keep it interesting!

Flippin’ Videos

Still worried it looks too hard? Watch this!

Flippin’ Students

▪ Start the first day of class with a demonstration- what do you expect from your students?

▪ Decide how you will sell it. – Ask students about lectures last year… boring?

– Show them a video about flipping and list advantages

– Give an analogy

– No excuses! There are resources available at school or at home

▪ Flash drive, DV D, ipod/ipod nano, library computers before/after school, during ac lab, lunch, homeroom…

Flippin’ Parents

▪ Send a letter home on the first day/ by email- include description and advantages – What will it look like in your classroom?

▪ Have a class blog/Instagram/Twitter- keep kids interested and parents involved!

Check Your Students

▪ Accountability- what will your students need to do to prove they watched the video? Will you make them prove it at all? – WSK/KWL/Notes

▪ Assigned due dates- each video have a due date? Due by end of unit?

▪ Homework v.s. Class time? – Will you let students watch videos in class or make

them strictly homework?

– Have a system in place to make sure they have watched video by assigned date.

Check Your Students

▪ Demonstrate in the classroom- modeling is everything!

– Let a student “drive” the video on your computer, and go at their pace.

– Use this as a lesson- did they go to fast? Too slow? This is an advantage of viewing videos on your own- you can go at your own pace!

What Does Flippin’ Class Time Look Like?

▪ IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT T HE V IDEOS! What you do IN class is the most important

▪ YOU DO NOT HAV E TO ASSIGN V IDEOS AS HOMEWORK!! Dr. Lodge McCammon suggest you show the videos as the first part of class.

▪ Hints: – Best practices still apply! – Chaos is okay! – DO NOT RE-T EACH! – Give up your control – BE CONSIST ENT! – Stand your ground- commit!

Then What Do You Do With Class Time?

Inquiry Based Activities!

▪ Alternative Assessments!

Labs and Hands-on Activities

Peer Instruction!

Class/Group/Individual Projects!

What About a Flippin’ Elementary Classroom?

▪ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT EH-6a6kMo

▪ Other ideas

What if they don’t watch the Flippin’ Videos?

▪ Consistency- what they do with it, when they watch it, when videos are posted, how you assess… make your battle plan!

▪ Follow through

▪ First you train them, then you teach them- model how you want them to watch the video, take notes, etc.
