  1. Video and the Flipped Classroom

  2. Definition Flipped Learning is a method of teaching in which traditional classroom lectures are replaced by video tutorials that students view outside of class. (i.e. swapping homework for class work) http://www.eschoolnews.com/files/2012/03/flipped-class-image1.jpg

  3. Background For years teachers have used what is now called “flipped classroom methods.” • Having students read a chapter at home and discuss it the next day in class • Having students watch a movie or television show • Have students examine/explore other media outside of class • Blended learning, Interactive learning, , inverted learning, hybrid learning, etc…

  4. What has changed? • The ease of creating videos on your personal computer or handheld device • The growing access of students to view videos at home, libraries, phones • Need to go beyond the lecture to project and inquiry-based methods, differentiated instruction, etc…

  5. Bloom’s Taxonomy This allows the teacher to help students in class with the higher level objectives Homework videos are used to help students achieve master the bottom objectives

  6. Khan Academy • Created in 2004 by former hedge fund analyst Salman Khan to assist his cousin in another city with her math homework • Went “viral” on youtube, quit his job, acquired funding from Bill Gates, Google, etc… A free world-class education for anyone anywhere http://blog.parkersu.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/salkhan.jpg

  7. Advantages • Allows students to go through material at their own pace (repeating if necessary, skipping if not necessary) • Allows teacher to focus on more in-depth topics in class • Gives teacher ability to target help to those students who need it most

  8. Disadvantages • Can all students access the material? • Disadvantaged students, access to videos • Is the subject/topic appropriate for flipping? • Mostly mathematics and science content • Are the students really “getting it?” • Are they watching the videos, are they understanding it? • Is it just creating a bad video out of a bad lecture? • Is it worth it?, Time factors • Are teachers becoming irrelevant? • What is their role?

  9. Other flipped resources • Higher Education Institutions like Harvard, Berkeley, Stanford, Yale and M.I.T. are creating and posting MOOCs (massive open online courses) edX, Coursera, and iTunesU • YouTube Teachers, TeacherTube, TED Ed, hippocampus, WatchKnowLearn, etc… • Individual schools, teachers and even students create and post their own videos

  10. Is flipped learning for you? • You don’t have to go “all in.” You can start with just one lesson. You can use an existing video as a complement to what you are already teaching • Videos could be non-content, more procedural • You can create your own video, just a lecture or something more? • How to assess it, does it meet my objectives?

  11. Next steps • Is this something that you would be interested in learning how to do? • Conduct an internet search of history videos. • Begin planning on how to incorporate the video into your class. • Possibly create your own video (plan it, edit it, revise it, post it) • Prepare your class, (expectations, issues of access, objectives)

  12. Tips for making your own videos • Find out about access early on • Make sure there isn’t some video which already does what you want • Same rules as creating a good lesson (i.e. engaging, informative, complete, accurate, etc.) • Keep it relatively short (20 minutes or less) • Involve a second person • Make students: take notes, ask questions, engage in discussions • Find means of assessing (mastery-based)

  13. Hardware requirements • PC or laptop (PC or Apple) • Webcam (internal or external) • Microphone • or flipcamera/video recording device

  14. Software requirements • Access to internet • Account with educreations, youtube, vimeo, etc… • Jing (free) or other screencast software (camtasia, snagit, morae $) • Video editing software • Place to post video (aforementioned sites or school or personal webspace) • Course management system?

  15. Other requirements • Script for your presentation • Background • Charts/maps/documents/websites/pictures
