9-6-Lchs team video for Flipped Classroom
First creation of the semester. This is the rough draft version of the sig fig video.

Nice visual
This was one of the images that they showed us at Flipcon'14. It really made the whole thing just click that much more. I know we talk about how we are flipping the way things are done in the classroom, but to see it visually/graphically just made it hit home. To explain it a little bit... Traditionally the knowledge and comprehension gets the majority of the time in our classrooms. The rest is done at home. When we flip our classrooms, the bloom tax triangle changes. The knowledge and comprehension portion is done at home, and the majority of our classroom time and interaction with our students is spent in the higher order thinking aspects of Blooms.

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.

25 Tools for the Flipped Classroom
Check out the list of apps and tools for the flipped classroom. Some have been mentioned in the project previously, but there are some new ones.

Apps
I found two apps that might be worth looking into. I'm playing with them now, so I don't know much. Thought you folks might want to take a look as well.
One is Nearpod and the other is Geddit. Both are free. Nearpod seems to be a way to control what everyone has on class IPADS.
See you soon.
