2
Objectives
• Evaluate what is new in educational technology, including apps and
outstanding software that are ideal for differentiated learning in a flipped
classroom

science with effective video clips that enhance your science instruction

INTRODUCTORY QUESTIONS
1. After looking over the objectives, what questions do you feel are most
important for your purposes in attending today’s seminar?

THE PARABLE OF THE STONES
A man was out walking in the desert when a voice said to him, "Pick
up some pebbles and put them in your pocket, and tomorrow you
will be both happy and sad."
The man obeyed. He stooped down and picked up a handful of
pebbles and put them in his pocket. The next morning he reached
into his pocket and found diamonds, sapphires, rubies and
emeralds.
And he was both happy and sad.
Happy he had taken some - sad that he hadn't taken more.

• How do you see student accountability and the flipped lesson
format playing a role in your classroom environment?
• What methods do you currently utilize to hold students
accountable in your traditional classroom? How can these be
adapted to the flipped lesson format?
• What methods do currently utilize in your use of the flipped
lesson format to maintain and encourage student accountability?

BENEFITS OF THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM
27
• Students can take ownership of their learning.
• Teachers can create or select educationally entertaining videos to
capture student attention, instead of having students absorb through
textbooks and homework problems.
• The classroom becomes a student centered learning environment,
rather than teacher directed a content driven.
• Students receive instant feedback in class as they are problem
solving.

27
• Students are not as frustrated because they can ask questions
immediately and work through confusion.
• Teachers can revisit concepts that trip-up students and reform the
pace of the lesson plan based on feedback.
• Students do not have to rely on parents, tutors or potentially
inaccurate internet sources to work through tough problems.
• Teachers can provide options to students with different learning styles
and offer more one-on-one time.

27
• Students who are absent or miss class due to school activities have
access to the content delivery outside of the classroom.
• Administrators, colleagues and parents have access to the content
being delivered in your classroom.
• More time to allow for student involvement in Project Based Learning,
Inquiry Based Learning, and Gamification.
• Development of Critical Thinking, Communication and Collaborative
skill sets through increased interaction between students and
teachers in the classroom.

POSSIBLE DRAW-BACKS
OF THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM
28
• Not all students have access to at-home technology.
• Not all teachers are tech savvy enough to master the flipped
classroom model, and schools may need to adopt additional hiring
criteria for new teachers.
• The method relies on students watching the videos and potentially
fails if they do not.

POSSIBLE DRAW-BACKS
OF THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM
ER
28
• Teachers may be at a loss as what to do with in-class time. Teachers
are more reliant on student feedback and questions to drive daily
interaction.
• With the emphasis on out of class lessons, some ask why we need
teachers, and insist the flipped classroom too closely resembles a
hands-off online learning environment.
• Educators need time to develop online content and create a student
centered learning environment, through Inquiry and Project Based
Learning methods.

• What online resources do you currently utilize to find, use, and
introduce media, for your flipped lesson format?
• What format are you currently using to share your flipped lessons with
your students for your classroom environment?

PLANNING THE VIDEO LESSON
Introduction - Introduce the puropose of the video. Identify the
concept and create a connection to previous knowledge if necessary.
Objectives - Identify 1 or 2 objectives or standards that will be
addressed in the video. Whenever possible list Common Core or State
Standards or Next Generation Science Standards met by the concepts
in the video.
Overview - Provide a brief explanation of the concept that will be
modeled in the lesson. Include new vocabulary, skills necessary and
other related materials.

Examples - Model concept providing as many examples as possible.
Keep in mind lesson link. If necessary make more than one video to
provide additional examples and solutions.
Self Assess – Provide opportunities troughout the lesson for students to
check their understanding. Encourage students to pause the lesson in
order to answer questions, think about the concept or complete a
sample problem.

Going Further – Provide opportunities for students to continue to explore
the concept through additional sample problems, further research, articles,
websites or additional videos to add to the knowledge base. Add higher
order questions to help students synthesize the content into a knowledge
base that can transition back to the classroom.
Closure – Bring the lesson to a close by revisiting the objectives or
standards that were demonstrated in the video lesson. There is no need to
summarize or repeat the key concepts as this will only increase video time.
Students always have the option to re-watch any part of the video as many
times as may be necessary.

The more organized and prepared you are, the less re-
takes and editing you will have to do later.
The editing process can deplete your energy and waste
your valuable time.

TECHNOLOGY
“You can be a good teacher and never use technology and
technology will never turn a bad teacher into a good one.
However, a good teacher who uses technology well, can make great
things happen.”
- Rushton Hurley
