      This sounds really cool!  Students often need to share websites with eachother, and if they could annotate the shared sites so others could see it, that would be amazing.

      Sara calls this 'broadcaster envy'.  At some point you have to get over the parts that jump out at you on the screen.  It does get easier...if you keep screencasting!
  • you slip up a little, no big deal. It should take you 5 minutes to make a 5-minute video.
  • just upload your video to YouTube, preferably your own channel.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • My main reason for choosing YouTube is that it is available everywhere, on every device. My students have literally no excuse for not watching my videos.

      Here are some interesting limits - often people who flip don't take into consideration the amount of work they are requiring students to do at home... 
  • The limits I decided on were a maximum video length of 5 minutes, and no more than 3 videos assigned per night.

      Don't forget if you structure your next day around deeper discussions you are going to know if the students watched the video.  I hesitate to get excited about quizzing and hiding things - the next day has to be meaningful or why in the world would students watch in the first place?
  • Because my students are responsible for watching and understanding the videos, they are becoming much more independent learners
  • In the Flipped Classroom model, short instructive videos are watched at home in lieu of lecture in the classroom. This allows for much more time in the classroom for remediation and differentiation.
  • You really need to choose something that is easy and straightforward for you.

      When you first try to flip a meeting for your building, it might not go exactly as planned.  Keep in mind to flip what needs to be direct instruction and then engage in deeper conversations as a staff when together.  I really like the idea of using video gathered from classrooms to get conversations started.  You can't focus on everything at once.  Pick one or two things and focus your conversations around these important points.
  • through flipping, administrators can send out these articles and questions in order to give teachers the proper amount of thinking time so the ultimate conversations are more enriching.
  • The flipped faculty meeting approach offers administrators and educators the opportunity to dig down deeper and get to the heart of what matters in school.

  • Getting together as a faculty should be about focusing on curriculum and instruction, and more importantly focus on our students.

  • during your actual faculty meetings to wrestle with the questions that THEY came up with while watching your videos.
  • final 10 minutes making any key points that you HAVE
  • teachers will enjoy your faculty meetings WAY more when the keys to the conversation are turned over to them.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • flipped faculty meetings become places where cross-departmental and grade level conversations can actually happen
  • if the information that needs to be delivered is consumed before the meeting even begins -- there's PLENTY of time for teachers to learn from -- and to build relationships with -- peers who work in different departments or on different hallways.

    There are many ways to 'flip' meetings.  Here are some ideas from an administrator.

      Take a look at the Seven Norms of Collaboration in terms of helping our adults engage in higher-level thinking and collaboration.
  • creating a highly collaborative classroom, teachers need to model listening, paraphrasing, artful questioning and negotiation any and every chance they get.

      Watch the 'redesigning the shopping cart' and then ask yourself, how could we use groups to redesign education?  The discussion definitely requires that there is not 'one' expert.

    This video is a good one to watch and consider...what if? ...our kids think use project based learning to master concepts instead of just sticking to traditional worksheets and tests.  It is definitely food for thought.

  • Making professional connections via social networking can not only result in a lot of great sharing of ideas and resources, but also combat the sense of isolation that many teachers experience.

      Reading Twitter posts isn't like reading a book.  You don't start at the top and read everything that was ever posted, you need to just set aside a few minutes and 'dip' in and read what is going on and then exit.  Do not get bogged down in making sure you read everything from everyone or you will immediately become overwhelmed and not want to come back!
  • managing the constant flow of information on Twitter.
  • Twitter’s search feature to find people in your field
  • follow educator-related "hash tags."
  • a hash tag is used to organize a live "chat" event, where participants sound off by tweeting about a given topic.
  • attend one of the many education-related Twitter chats that happen each week, such as #edchat on Tuesdays at 12 p.m. EST.

      Your challenge - get out there and join #edchat on one Tuesday and see what types of connections you can make!
  • Tweet like your mama and principal are watching.
