1. The Art of Flipping
Francis Leslie-Ellis

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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

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

8. Online Tools www.screencastify.com (only works in chrome)
(interactive whiteboard)

9. Step 1- Make the video
Use Miro as the whiteboard and record steps using Screencastify
Upload this video to Youtube

10. Step 2 - Work the video
In Edpuzzle, import the video (use the url) into your content
In Edpuzzle, you can crop, voiceover, audio notes or add questions or comments
This video can then be assigned to a class which has been set up in google classroom
Assignments can be given a start and due date
results are recorded
you can see who has / has not done their prep

11. 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
