      Love this! If my students are working on something online, they constantly email links back and forth to themselves. This is such an easy way for students to share links and work together without trying to figure out group emails- it can be a lot for a 10 year old!
  • Classes could supplement their textbook with information from the web. Diigo could facilitate student discussions about the bookmarks. Annotations could be used to gauge student thinking.

      This time will significantly decrease quickly as you become more proficient with screencasting for sure!
  • Saving each lesson in multiple formats might be a solution to this problem. Also, creating a Youtube channel and posting videos on Youtube will make videos more accessible to all students.

      YouTube will be open for LPS students next year so that will help!  It is also great when you have an .mp4 video file saved to a usb device as well for the students without access to be able to download before going home.

      Tracey - What implications does this have for my grade 3 students? Do you suggest that I upload videos to my Youtube channel (on my school account) for student and parent communication (i.e. a short video tutorial - maybe someday a screencast when I learn how- of modeling the steps in the process of solving a word problem)?
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Some students might not do their homework because they are used to a more concrete and traditional paper-and-pencil homework assignment, and therefore they might perceive this “new homework” as abstract, irrelevant, and perhaps not as important.
  • the most effective videos are the ones that manage to keep students accountable for their learning.
  • at key parts of the lesson/video the teacher might instruct the students to pause the video
  • Such techniques make students active participants and empower them to take control of their own learning.
  • Most people who flipped their classroom agree that in the beginning, teachers should expect to spend an average of 30 minutes of recording time to create a 10-minute lesson.

      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.
    • Tracey Kracht
      Tracey Kracht on 26 Mar 13
       
      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.
    • Tracey Kracht
      Tracey Kracht on 26 Mar 13
       
      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.

    Straightforward, simple explanation of Diigo benefits for students. According to one of the comments, students can highlight specific information from a site as opposed to just bookmarking an entire page. I like that idea for students who are overwhelmed by info or forget what parts they found useful.

    OK--I know I am a little late to this rodeo...but I LOVE BADGES! I think it is the overachieving Girl Scout that is coming out in me (I had to have 2 sashes because I earned so many GS badges when I was a little girl!). Just set up badges for math and science for the first quarter to coordinate with the main learning objectives. Hopefully this will be a new encourager for the kids.

      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.
