Schoology
I have been setting up my class with the use of Schoology, in my opinion it's by far the best resource for an online classroom. I know for myself, I was looking for a way to be able to use the Examview test questions or another resource so that I didn't have to individually type each question. Below is a video on how you can do this with your class.
There is also a way to randomize questions, example being that if you have a quiz that's 15 questions, the questions can be randomized and selected from a bank of questions. I have posted a video down below.
As soon as I am able to completely understand the process, I will try to make a simplified video on how to do this.

Scientific Method Unit
Flipped Video on Scientific Method. This served as a reminder for the students after we had already done work in class (they did this lab in groups). Their assignment was to correct their lab report with the information on the video.
Video used as a pre-activity:

Here is a sample of one day on my lesson plans for this unit. Every day the activities rotate groups.
Group 1 needs to finish the vocabulary assignment from yesterday. (writing the words and definitions and then a short story using the key words)
Group 2 will be watching mythbusters on the computers (3 desktops with headphones and 1 laptop). They need to go to http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1d5zj2_mythbusters-2013-the-walking-dead-zombie-special-discovery-science-technology-documentary_tv
And watch the show. They must answer the scientific method questions in their journal.
Group 3 will be working on the paper towel lab. Supplies are in the storage area. They need to write the lab out in their journals following the lab sheet guidelines. Students must check their hypothesis with me first before continuing on with the lab.
Group 4 will be working on the observation and inferences sheet. First, talk to the students to explain the difference between the two. Then have the students complete the sheets. They must show me that they have mastered this concept. I will be meeting with each one individually as they finish.
Group 5 will be finishing the observation and inferences sheet. Next, they need to take notes on the scientific method and the four parts of an experiment.
Group 6 will be quizzing on measurements and conversions. When this group is finished, they need to pick up a scientific method vocabulary sheet.
When a group is finished with their work , they can use a laptop to start working on the zombie questions using the CDC website.

Podcast question
Does anyone know what program to use to make a podcast? I've got some teachers who need/want to make one and I've never made one before. Any help would be amazing! Thanks!!!!
I have been wanting to find a way to get some of the information from Office Mix on videos that I have already made. I found a site called www.edpuzzle.com. It looks like you can embed videos and track student activity in a way similar to Mix. I will keep you updated on this.
Also, would anyone like benefit from a little tutorial on engradewv testing? I can make a video if anyone would be interested in using that tool.

Flipping Tools
This link list below is a summary of the free or low cost tools that we have used so far for the Flipped Learning project:
Video production
tools
Video Delivery
LMS-ish
Polling/Survey tools
Versal
I haven't spent a very large amount of time on the site, but versal.com looks pretty interesting. It is an educational site that allows you to build interactive units. You can embed your videos, there are a few interactive apps available, etc. Right now it is in beta, and free. I don't know if it will remain that way.
