Hello all!

Touchcast is a pretty cool app that allows you to create videos with manipulatives that your students can use during the video!

I intend to use this one the next time I create a video to see if I like it and also if my students like it as well.


Currently this app is FREE so try it out because it isn't going to be free for long!

This is a pretty cool video as well that shows from the student's perspective how one teacher flips her classroom.Flipped Mastery Video (works best to view on the iPad)

Fun with iMovie Trailers

From our meeting yesterday:

Remember that you can use iMovie to create interest, have students build content, and to edit your lessons or resources for flipped.

Jason passed this interesting article along to the group earlier this week.  It is worth reading the preliminary conclusions from a multi-year study of student performance.
Since the flipped classroom is still a fairly new concept, there aren't many studies that have collected empirical data on student performance.  This one may provide some of the data that supports what we have been seeing in our classes.

The Flipped Classroom Boosts Grades 5%. Why That’s As Big As We Can Expect.

Thank you for finding the article and passing it along to the group.
