4. Note to iPad Users
Apple has removed the YouTube app from devices;
you have to download the Google version from the
App store.
YouTube on an iPad will look quite different than
when accessing it via a web browser.
Use the desktop version through the Safari browser
if you would like to have the same view as
screenshots in this presentation.

Use the browse and search functionality of YouTube to find
channels and individual videos. Use Filter to refine your query.
Create playlists for units that you teach. Add videos to playlists
ahead of class or create them on the fly.
Give links to playlists to students to supplement classroom
materials
Collect videos created by students to show to parents. You can
keep links private.

36. Flipping the Classroom
36
Flip your instruction so that students watch and
listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use
your precious class-time for what previously, often,
was done in homework: tackling difficult problems,
working in groups, researching, collaborating,
crafting and creating. Classrooms become
laboratories or studios, and yet content delivery is
preserved.
