This document provides guidance on creating flipped classroom videos. It discusses why teachers should make their own videos rather than relying solely on outside content. The document outlines the basic steps and equipment needed to make different types of lesson videos, such as chalk and talk, narrated slideshows, and illustrated lectures. Tips are provided on planning content, recording, editing, and publishing videos. The goal is to help teachers make high-quality yet time-efficient lesson videos for their students.

2. Intro – about me
• High School Science teacher (Physics, Biology, General
Science)
• Background in Paleontology
Hobbies include
•Wasting time on Facebook
• Long walks in a dark forest
• Staying out late on cold dark nights
• Operating the largest telescope in the country

4. Sequence
•Why?
•What?
• How?
•Q&A

6. Why do you want to make flipped-class
videos?
Good reasons
• Free up class time for
interaction
• Generate lessons for missing
students
• Focus the lesson
• Let students review lessons
at home
• Go full-flipped
Bad Reasons
• Because everyone else is
doing it
• So you can slack off

7. Why make your own?
• Lots and LOTS of great videos on YouTube
• Making your own generates a connection with your
students
• Present the information how you want
• focus your lessons

9. What is a flipped-class video anyway?
• Short Video Lesson
• Addresses one or two specific topics
• Can be used as a lesson, or to supplement a lesson
• Can be made by the teacher, or someone else entirely

for…

19. How to make a lesson video
Things you will need:
• Ideas
• Camera and/or screen capture software
• Editing software
• Enthusiasm
Bonus:
• Pen enabled tablet (for Chalk & Talk style)
• Remote mouse/clicker

20. Ideas
• know what you are going to say. This is important - it
is easy to ramble, but you want to keep it short &
sweet!
• know what you are going to show
• Plan to keep it to 10 minutes or less
• Use existing lesson presentations as a starting point!

21. Camera
• Any camera will do.
• Digicam
•webcam
• cell phone
• camcorder
• DSLR
• Tripod is useful too.

22. Screen capture software
• Camtasia – powerful, but not cheap
• CamStudio (http://camstudio.org/) – free but limited
• Open Broacdaster (https://obsproject.com/) – free, full featured
• Jing (http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html ) - Web based, also from
Techsmith, limited to 5 minutes
• Screencast-o-matic (http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/) free
version has watermark
• Screencastify – Chrome plugin
• Educreations (https://www.educreations.com/ ) - for chalk & talk
style

23. Video Editing Software
• Adobe Premiere / Premiere Elements
• Magix Movie Edit Pro
• iMovie (Mac or amore limited version on iOS)
• Windows Movie Maker (free, but loathsome)
•WeVideo (works with Google Drive)
•Camtasia Studio buit-in editor

24. The Process
• Decide on a format
• Spend some time up front planning your video lesson. Know
what you are going to say, know what you want to show.
• Edit your PowerPoints (if doing that style of video) to
minimize text, maximize imagery - include animations!
• Record your video – you may need to do a few takes, but
don’t worry if it’s not perfect
• Edit
• Publish

25. Chalk & Talk style
• Can be done on an iPad using Educreations or ShowMe
• On Windows touch-screen computer using OneNote ow
Word and a stylus
• On non-touch PC or Mac with a pen tablet
• Run the “white board” medium, run the screen capture, and
record.

26. Narrated Slide Show / PiP slide show
• Record the slide show with voice-over narration.
•Camtasia integrates with PPT to facilitate this
• For picture-in-picture style, run a webcam video
preview in a small window while recording - Some let
you keep the window always on top (eg AmCap)

27. Illustrated Lecture
• Let me explain in video form:

28. Editing considerations
• If it’s not necessary, cut it. Be harsh.
• Cut out “ums” and dead space
• Doesn’t have to be beautiful
• Images can be overlaid as PiP or floating
(“greenscreened”) with multitrack editors
• Use the “zoom” tool frequently to allow precision
edits efficiently

29. Publishing your video
• YouTube – public or link only
• GAFE – now unlimited storage for schools
• Sharing directly with students

30. Overall Considerations
• Find a style you’re comfortable with and works for you
• dont worry - quick & dirty is better than nothing, or many
hours making it “perfect”.
• jump cuts are perfectly fine
• Keep it tight, under 10 minutes if possible. If longer, consider
splitting into parts
• have fun with it!

31. Ninja Level: Special Effects
• Animations in ppt overlaid on live view
• Animated titles
• Slow or fast motion
• Cutting effects (see Georges Méliès) – transporter
effect, dropping from the sky
• Split screen effects – talking to yourself

32. Community support
• Flipped Learning Network
http://flippedclassroom.org/
• YouTube
• Forums and discussion groups
• G+
