Office Mix
This can be a game changer for many of us.
At our October 4 Flipped Learning session, Nikki Buchman
demonstrated Office Mix. I know I speak for our entire group when I
say that we were blown away. This suite
of tools is available to users of Office
2013 and gives the capability to include many aspects of flipped learning
to PowerPoint presentations and to export videos. Since all educators in West Virginia are
licensed to install five copies of Office
365 (including PowerPoint 2013) this is a great fit for us.
Office
Mix installs a plug-in on PowerPoint 2013 that allows educators to include
screen clips, videos, quizzes, voice over and a plethora of tools specifically
for inclusion in PowerPoint Mixes. Once
students have a k12 email address, you can tap some great statistics on student
access. Even now, students can take
advantage of the Mix lessons although you will not get the analytics unless the
students log in.
Many thanks to Nikki for bringing this to our attention and
demonstrating it to us. We can add this
to our toolbox that already includes Screencast-o-matic and Explain
Everything. I would encourage you to
try making a small flipped lesson with Office
Mix.

Example Flipped Lesson
As we look to kick off our 2014-15 cohort of the Flipped Learning group through Marshall University, I wanted to make a flipped lesson just to get me in the right mindset.
This first lesson isn't witty or slick. I just wanted to put something quick and easy together to get us started. I gave myself 30 minutes to prepare and record the five minute video on the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis. I started with the assessment portion by identifying what students should know and be able to do by the end of the lesson. I then tapped some graphics of chloroplasts and did a video narration of the two photosystems. There are errors and I am OK with that. Your students will be OK with errors as well. I used a simple, free web tool (http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/) to record and export the video. Since I used the free version, there was no editing. I exported to an MPEG then uploaded to Vimeo. The entire process (aside from the time it took Vimeo to make the video available) took less than 25 minutes.
The target audience for this lesson is 10th grade biology I students.
