Flipped Learning for your Students

Are you flipping your classroom? The idea is to create opportunities to help your students learn basic content at home so you can spend class time on more valuable interactions when you’re together. But how do you find, curate or create these resources? This workshop will introduce you to the idea of the flipped classroom and help you create resources to redesign your lessons.

What is Flipped Learning?

Google search to find a definition & benefits of "flipped learning" or the "flipped classroom" and add it to this shared Doc (pictures or diagrams welcome)

Carrying out or using a procedure through executing, or implementing.

Understanding:

Constructing meaning from oral, written, and graphic messages through interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, and explaining.

Let's flip your learning! You have 5 minutes to learn something new from YouTube....you might like to try:

Curate or create...not all content was created equal!

Creating videos yourself is not always possible.... we are human after all and do want to get home at some stage to walk the dog and watch Netflix! Therefore utilise some of the great content out there already!

1. Search for a short video that teaches a topic that you teach and add the URL to this Doc.

2. Watch your video (and also others)

3. Contribute to the PMI analysis

Screencastify

<-- Click to install the extension

**SCREENCASTIFY PRO TIP** ALT + SHIFT + R (starts and stops recording), ALT + SHIFT + P (pause/unpause recording)

Sketchpad 5.1

The perfect web app (can be set up to save in your Drive, see image below) to create flipped lessons as it acts like a digital whiteboard. You can draw, highlight, import images, shapes and more.

Tips for making a great screencast

Challenge

1. Create your own video for your students using Screencastify

2. Upload to Youtube (watch video -->)

3. Add the URL to this shared Doc

Engaging students in the content

If students are watching video content independently (at home or at school), how can we ensure they are engaging with it and not just "watching"? Try these two tools to support your flipping...

Pick your video, crop it, add voice notes, or totally re-record the voiceover to explain in your own words. You can also add multiple choice quizzes, open ended questions & text comments to help your students deepen their understanding of the content.

*Bonus: imports your classes from Google Classroom.

Easily take notes while watching a video. Notes are automatically synced (& timestamped) to the place in the video for easy reference. Notes are stored in your Google Drive and can be shared with classmates/teachers (NB. if two people are both editing the note, they only update for each other if you refresh the page, not in real time).

Adobe Spark Video creates narrated slides as a finished video. Super easy for young students to make instructional or process-based videos. It automatically adds transitions, music and effects.

Students as creators (teachers can't have all the fun!)

The ability to record voice and screen is a powerful tool when placed in the hands of students:

formative assessment
allows students to use oral language to explain understanding
differentiated method of assessment
allows teachers to gain insight into students deeper understanding through explanation of concepts
