sections

engaging

▪ Speak clearly
▪ Make a script/notes for
students with
accomodations/ELL students
▪ Don’t worry if it’s not perfect!
▪ Start simple! You can get
fancy later
Non-Video flippers:
▪ Use your sources!
Make sure you watch
it first and make a quiz
or outline notes to go
with it
▪ You don’t always have
to assign videos- you
can give interactive
websites or
webquests. Keep it
interesting!

11. Flippin’ Videos
Still worried it looks too
hard? Watch this!

12. Flippin’ Students
▪ Start the first day of class with a
demonstration- what do you expect from
your students?
▪ Decide how you will sell it.
– Ask students about lectures last year… boring?
– Show them a video about flipping and list
advantages
– Give an analogy
– No excuses! There are resources available at
school or at home
▪ Flash drive, DVD, ipod/ipod nano, library
computers before/after school, during ac lab,
lunch, homeroom…

13. Flippin’ Parents
▪ Send a letter home on the first day/
by email- include description and
advantages
– What will it look like in your classroom?
▪ Have a class blog/Instagram/Twitter-
keep kids interested and parents
involved!

14. Check Your Students
▪ Accountability- what will your students need
to do to prove they watched the video?
Will you make them prove it at all?
– WSK/KWL/Notes
▪ Assigned due dates- each video have a due
date? Due by end of unit?
▪ Homework v.s. Class time?
– Will you let students watch videos in class or make
them strictly homework?
– Have a system in place to make sure they have
watched video by assigned date.

15. Check Your Students
▪ Demonstrate in the classroom- modeling is
everything!
– Let a student “drive” the video on your
computer, and go at their pace.
– Use this as a lesson- did they go to fast?
Too slow? This is an advantage of viewing
videos on your own- you can go at your
own pace!

16. What Does Flippin’ Class Time
Look Like?
▪ IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT THE VIDEOS! What you do
IN class is the most important
▪ YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ASSIGN VIDEOS AS
HOMEWORK!! Dr. Lodge McCammon suggest you
show the videos as the first part of class.
▪ Hints:
– Best practices still apply!
– Chaos is okay!
– DO NOT RE-TEACH!
– Give up your control
– BE CONSISTENT!
– Stand your ground- commit!

17. Then What Do You Do With
Class Time?
Inquiry Based Activities!
▪ Alternative Assessments!
Labs and Hands-on Activities
Peer Instruction!
Class/Group/Individual
Projects!
Genius Hour!

they watch it, when videos are posted, how
you assess… make your battle plan!
