The Art of Flipping Francis Leslie-Ellis

Best Practices Keep videos short - 1 topic per video The age of the student - maximum number of minutes for video or 1.5 x year level of student Don’t add to homework….replace Make the video easy to access (QR code/ classroom/ link?) Create your own video content (Curate 20%………..Create 80%) If possible use more than 1 teacher

Best Practices Build interactivity into the process- get students to make notes and/or answer questions Add questions throughout the video and in the last minute ask an open-ended question: “What do you wonder?” Afterwards ask “What questions do you have?” and go through these with the class

Best Practices How to get students to watch the videos if not done as prep? Those students will watch the videos in class while those who have done the prep will do more engaging work (in-class flip) Never lecture when students don’t watch! You have just lost effectiveness. Hold the students accountable

Best Practices Teach the students how to interact with the instructional videos - do it in class until they are competent. Demonstrate how you would take notes from the video. Do this for as long as it takes. For low achievers - use fill in the blank notes Plan for students with incomplete understanding - Use the video software to track understanding. Those with most questions correct can start their work. Gather those who don’t understand together and re-teach

Best Practices Flipped learning is not about the videos. It is about the active engaging things you can do in class. Make the class awesome, meaningful, engaging Student Buy in: explain you will have more time with the students. Better relationships. Pacing - students go at their own pace (they have some agency) Reduces homework time

Best Practices Parent Buy in: Communicate - explain why you are flipping, Share data. Flip your back to school night Don’t give up!

Online Tools www.screencastify.com (only works in chrome) www.tes.com/lessons www.edpuzzle.com www.miro.com (interactive whiteboard)

Where to store all student work Tes Blendspace (Tes Teach) allows you to store students tasks (worksheets, videos, links, etc) This can be shared to students without a need for them to login This can be used as a place that students can refer back to if necessary for notes or helpful videos or tasks
