Flipped+Classroom

=Flipped Classroom Tools=

Below are some of the tools that can help you to create meaningful and helpful study resources. Mot can be used with both ipads and traditional computers.


 * Flipped classroom considerations:**
 * Why Flipped? To facilitate richer classroom discussions. If that's not happening, then something is broken.
 * You NEED a youtube channel!
 * Screen time. If all teachers are using the flipped model, how much time will a student need to be online with the ipad? Is it possible?
 * Do all of your students have high speed internet access at home? Do you have alternative plans for those who do not?
 * Tons of resources here. Note the twitter users. Follow them in Flipboard.
 * Get Flipboard for the ipad. Follow the hashtags listed here.
 * Build a Flipboard magazine, share it with your peers, and all contribute article discoveries to it. Use that as discussion topics in department meetings.
 * Follow the #flipclass hashtag in Flipboard app


 * Explain Everything** - ipads only for creating, but viewable on any device
 * User Manual - an iBook (free)
 * Lesson Ideas - an iBook (free)
 * Tutorial Videos - very well done
 * Video inside video - for the more advanced users
 * Tips
 * Plan and practice before you record!
 * Don't make us watch you write text. Stop recording, write the text, continue recording. It will look as if the writing/typing just appears at that point
 * Don't talk over blank screens
 * Keep them short and narrowly focused. Better to have three short videos than one long one
 * Teach your students to arrange their images into albums for their various projects. it makes finding them SO much easier


 * Touchcast** - Make on the ipad, view anywhere
 * Touchcast website - great examples
 * Touchcast for Education - education examples
 * Teacher example - earthquakes
 * Teacher training video examples
 * Tutorials - all the help you should need
 * Tips
 * Plan! Plan! Plan! Have your resources (pictures, urls, poll ideas, etc) ready before you begin.
 * If you're recording in school, avoid period changes. You can't erase the sound of the bells!
 * If you're going to be using Green screens, purchase a remote mic. (The one I bought)
 * Buy an ipad holder or stand. (holder for tripod, tripod floor stand)
 * Touchcast has a built-in teleprompter. Here's another choice.


 * Nearpod** - Make interactive presentations
 * Getting started tutorials (by Nearpod)
 * Video tutorial - created by one of the iPads in Education instructors
 * One more tutorial - one of these should match your learning style
 * Tips:
 * Plan!! Although it's very easy to add or rearrange slides, the planning assures that your lesson is matching the desired learning outcomes
 * Keep your presentations interesting and your students interested by including lots of activities
 * Math teachers - create a presentation with 5 to 10 blank slides. Then for each one, write the problem on the board. Reuse this presentation often
 * Don't forget to get the report for each session. A record for every student


 * Educanon** - Make on a computer
 * Tutorial video - very easy to learn to use
 * Educanon integrates with Schoology - visit the App Center
 * Tips
 * Remember - you can CROP the videos to show just what you want them to see
 * Keep a list, arranged by topic, of your educanon bulbs. It's a handy way to see the gaps in your resources.
 * Add this bookmarklet to your browser toolbar (drag and drop) and easily start to make a bulb.


 * Evernote** - Cloud-based notes. Free (with restrictions) IMHO, in a 1:1 setting, giving the kids a way to manage their digital life is a GIFT!
 * Evernote website
 * Evernote app
 * Evernote (app) tutorials - excellent
 * Make the Evernote widget for your ipad
 * Tips
 * Teach the kids to make notebooks for each class
 * The power of Evernote is in the Tags. TEACH. TAGGING!
 * The Work Chat feature in Evernote now allows all shared users to edit. An easy way for students to now contribute to the class notes.
