1. OpenEd
The Flipped Classroom for the Common Core

2. Background
• Educational videos and “the flipped
classroom” are changing the way students are
taught
– With many high-quality K-12 videos and games
• Common Core and other standards are real
– All teachers are figuring out how to handle it now
– Most teachers are not prepared to teach to the
full required standards

3. The Problem
• How does a teacher figure out the best videos
and other resources to choose for their
course?
• It’s very difficult to find a video, game or
assessment for a topic
• And for specific standards, the problem is
even harder

4. OpenEd Vision
• Catalog all K-12 video, games and assessments and
their metadata
• Create courses with the best Common Core aligned
content
– Videos, games, assessments based upon teacher’s course
information and content used by other teachers of similar
courses
• Analyze performance and results
– Students performance on course content and standards mastery
combined with videos and games used

assessments by standard, grade, or subject in
