The document discusses the flipped classroom model of education. In a flipped classroom, students watch video lectures and demonstrations at home as homework. Class time is then spent doing hands-on activities, discussions, collaborations and getting help from teachers. This allows teachers to spend more one-on-one time with students instead of lecturing. However, students need access to technology and motivation to watch the videos outside of class. The document also describes some features of a flipped classroom application, including using existing YouTube videos, organizing content by subject, and creating flashcards linked to specific video points.

3. { Flipped Classroom

4. Definition: Flipped Classroom?
In “flipped classroom” students use technology at home
to watch online video lectures, demonstrations,
and explanations of assignments. Class time is spent
doing what is traditionally called “homework."
The teacher in a flipped classroom is a learning
facilitator, able to work one-to-one with students,
clarify assignments, and offer help as needed.
Classmates can work together on in-class assignments,
engage in discussions, or collaborate on projects.

5. A major benefit is that teachers spend more
time working directly with students instead of
lecturing to them. The downside is the need for
access to technology and the student’s own
motivation to watch the videos.

10. Features & Functionality Here are some of the things
you can do with this simple yet powerful application:
• Use your own videos or tap into the hundreds of
thousands already available on YouTube: Use videos
that you’ve created and uploaded to YouTube, or use
any of the endless variety of YouTube videos
available, but deliver them in a controlled
environment.
• Keep them private or make them open: Provide
access only to students with your school’s email
address, or leave the course publicly accessible,
Massive Open Online Courses “MOOC” style.

11. • Organize: Easily create a separate ‘school’ for each
subject, course, instructor, etc. The possibilities are
endless. Organize video content into categories for
easy access.
• Create Flashcards & ‘Smartnotes’: This video
discusses how to create and email Flashcards and
‘SmartNotes’, linkable directly to the point that they
appear in the class.
