  • Even though the class may look a bit chaotic, dig deeper and look to see what is really happening in a flipped class.
  • Encourage them as they struggle to implement change.

      I've always heard of teachers using Diigo for bookmarking, but had never considered it's possibility for student use.
  •  
    Ed tech expert and Web20Classroom blogger Steven Anderson tells teachers how they can use diigo and other social bookmarking tools as a teaching resource.
  •  
    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.

4 Things To Consider Before You Flip Your Classroom | Edudemic - 4 views

    • Tracey Kracht
       
      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.
    • Tracey Kracht
       
      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.
