3. What Do You Do During Class?  Now that your students are receiving instruction from you at home, what are you going to do with all the class time you have available?  You should have more time for  Class discussions  Labs  Cooperative learning  Project-based learning

4. I Don’t Want To Make Videos!  https://vimeo.com/45110604  Places to go to download videos so you don’t have to make them yourself  Sophia  Khan Academy  YouTube EDU  TeacherTube  Brightstorm  Discovery Learning

5. How Flipping Can Fail  Teachers have to have a desire to Flip  You cannot Flip every lesson!  Start by Flipping one lesson per week  Soon you will build a library of effective Flipped lessons  There has to be a “Plan B” for students without Internet access  Believing that Flipping is the “Magic Bullet”

6. What’s So Great About Flipping?  Students view videos at home about the next day’s lesson  Students come to class the next day knowing what is going on  Valuable class time is used for student questions, cooperative learning, project-based learning, class discussions  Instead of students sitting at home trying to do their homework, they do their work under the guidance of the teacher  Teachers are excited about the possibilities  Students like watching the videos at home, as they are generally shorter than a lesson given in class  Students don’t like “traditional” lecture

7. Flipping Gurus  Go to YouTube and search for:  Aaron Sams  Jonathan Bergmann  Katie Gimbar  Bill Nye  Our very own Mike McHale has also jumped on the Flipping bandwagon!

8. Other Flipping Resources  The “Flipped Teaching Network”  TedEd “Lessons Worth Sharing”  http://ed.ted.com/lessons/introducing-ted-ed-lessons-worth-sharing http://ed.ted.com/lessons/introducing-ted-ed-lessons-worth-sharing What If Kids Don’t Watch the Videos?  How do you react when kids don’t do their homework in the traditional classroom?  One teacher suggests that kids who don’t watch the videos complete worksheets or read the chapter while the rest of the class participates in a learning activity.

9. Many Students Don’t Have Access  Studies have shown that we have overestimated the number of students who have no Internet access  There are many students who do not have Internet access to do SCHOOLWORK!  Amazingly, students find ways to access the Internet when they want to do something “enjoyable”  We must come up with solutions for students who truly do not have access.  Keep the school’s computer lab open before school or after school  Record videos on DVD for students to take home.  Save videos on a flash drive to send home with students w/computer but no Internet  Students visit the public library or school library
