How to Flip Your Classroom



One of the schools, Chantilly, is going one to one this year.  As part of that the teachers will be redoing how they teach.   One of the ways they are looking at is flipping.  So I was asked to teach some presentations on it.  You can follow everything I teach as all of my links and videos will be on this page.

 We will start by taking a survey at tinyurl.com/chantillyinservice
  • We will be learning how to create a short flip (defined) using Screencastomatic and what images, slides, short video and information might go into it.  You can also make them using the Snagit extension here (and here is how to use it)
  • discuss that you can always use others' videos such as (history and science, math and grammar)
  • contemplate how to make sure teachers are watching the video in part using a Google Drive form or even to how to make your own YouTube playlist (2:20 in this video)
  • use Remind (resources) to literally remind them to view the video. 
  • discuss how flipping a meeting/classroom allows for one on one discussions between the class leader and the pupil.  
  • and even how to use Tinyurl to customize a link to a video
  • If you want more resources they can be found here and here
Some examples might include flipping an economics course and then give a problem set (and even flipped answers - notice some are linked to one minute videos) or how to write an essay or an introduction to the electoral college and a related assignment to predict the election results.
All of the steps above can be found in much more in depth by reading my book Deeper Learning Through Technology: Using the Cloud to Individualize Instruction.

  1. Flipping your classroom can transform student engagement and learning. By moving lectures and content delivery outside of class time, you can use classroom time for interactive activities and discussions. However, the shift requires careful planning and execution.

    To make this transition smoother, you might need additional support. For instance, if you're struggling with coursework while trying to implement a flipped classroom model, you could pay someone to do my ALEKS to manage your exams while you focus on teaching strategies. Similarly, if preparing for standardized tests like the LSAT is taking up too much of your time, consider hiring someone to take LSAT so you can devote more energy to your classroom flip.

    Additionally, if you need to focus on classroom innovation rather than passing tests, you can take my GED test for me or utilize other exam help services. Services such as online class help can provide necessary support to manage your educational responsibilities effectively.

    Implementing a flipped classroom approach while managing your educational obligations might require external assistance. For instance, you can take my exam to keep your focus on transforming your teaching methods rather than being overwhelmed with exam preparation.

Homework Reminders

When I want to quickly contact my online students, I use Remind.com .  It allows you to send a text without knowing their phone numbers.  Additionally you can set a time for it to be sent.  You can add a link and/or upload a document.  If you choose, you can also text individual students.  All of the texts are recorded and kept as long as you keep the class. Above is a video giving you a great overview and here are several videos explaining how to use different parts of it. If you use Blackboard, the video below shows you how to embed Remind texts into a Blackboard page.

How to Make Your Own Flip & Tutorial Videos

Over the years I have made lots of video tutorial for my blog followers and flip videos for my students .  Every single one of them have been made using Screencastomatic .   You can purchase your own yearly subscription, but I have not only never paid, but also never even set up a free account. You don't need to since you can make the video and then just upload it onto YouTube. Watch the video above and you will be able to see how to record, add you talking (or not) to the recording and to upload it - all in less than two minutes.  Go forth and make your own tutorials and teach lots of others.  In a later post I'll show you how to organize your YouTube video library.  

Snow Days Online

So we have a potentially major snow storm coming to DC this week.  I am thankful that we have the technology to make up for not having school, esp. in classes like AP or IB ones where time can't really be missed and your students are more likely to do the work at home.  Of course my online students get to work no matter the weather.  So how can you get your brick and mortar students to work on a snow day. For my online kids I use Blackboard Collaborate so I would create a shell for the brick and mortar students as well and set an agreed upon time to meet which I reminded them about a few days before a snow storm.  If you don't have something like Blackboard Collaborate you could you a Google Plus Hangout live stream where you could send a link to your students and they could watch a live lecture ( here's how ).    You could then use Today's Meet to send a link to students and you could see their live questions.   You would be able to do this b...
