Flip Out: Flipped Lessons for Students

The majority of our students have access to a smart phone at home. When we make our content and lessons available to students digitally, learning can happen anywhere at anytime. There are so many ways of digitizing learning...we will highlight 3 ideas for you to explore with your students.

1. Screencast
There are many options available for screencasting. For those of you unfamiliar with the technique, screencasting is simply recording your device screen. One web tool / app that we have found really useful is Educreations. Teachers can create lessons and share with students or students can even create their own lessons. The video below is an example of an Educreations video.

2. Student Paced Nearpods
Simply launch a student paced lesson in Nearpod and give the students the code to join the lesson or click link and make the link a QR Code. Watch the video below to see the steps.

3. Vizia.co
Using Vizia, you can assign a video for students to watch and then embed questions during the video. You can collect a name and email address from students (or just have students put first name and then ID# for email address) and all student responses are saved in a Spreadsheet for you. Here's an example of a Video inside of Vizia.co
