There has been a lot of buzz in the last year or two about the idea of "flipped" education. Basically, the concept behind flipping is that the work students typically do in class (dissemination of information) takes place outside of class using videos and supplemental readings. That allows the work that traditionally takes place outside of class (the application of that information) to be completed in class where students have access to their teachers and peers for help and differentiated learning.
The key to effectively flipping a lesson, unit, or even an entire course is in the quality of the resources that students access outside of school before class. The focus of today's Tech Talk revolved around three videoresources that could be helpful to you if you're considering "flipping" some of your content. The videos could also be useful to you if you're looking for good supplemental video clips to show to reinforce concepts you teach in class.
This off-shoot of Youtube pulls together more than 50,000 educational videos that can be searched by topics and disciplines ranging from math, to science, to history, and more. The content is a mix of quick explanations of concepts to full-blown lectures. This site is also unblocked for all students to access at school.
This site was put together by people who work for Youtube, and it is designed to show teachers how they can put together "playlists" of videos for their classes. Check out some pre-made playlists such as "Introduction to Plate Tectonics" or "Figurative Language" to see some of educational videos that were pulled together on those subjects. If you would like to learn how to create your own playlist and share it with students, please let me know!
This site has taken some of the best, most inspiring lectures and lessons and animated them to make them a little more interesting to kids. Each video also has multiple choice and short answer questions for students to respond to after they are done watching the video. In addition, for each topic or concept, there are also links to supplemental websites related to the video. If you're interested in flipping a lesson, this is the quickest and, from what I've seen, best ways to do that. The videos on this website cover all different subject areas as well.

Khan Academy. This website, available at: __https://www.khanacademy.org/__, has more than 200 million video lessons on topics ranging from math, to science, to economics, and even test prep for ACT-like practice. The videos are searchable, and some also include the "Practice" feature, which allows basically gives students quizzes on various topics with instantaneous feedback built in.
- prep year before -create screencast as you teach the year before
Great uses: -flip project launch -
CK12.com - allows you to create your own digital textbooks by using online and open resources. Then save and push our textbooks to students to use at home with or without videos
FLipped class ideas: separate kids into 3 groups...those who watched and got it and can move on to next topic, those who watched but have questions, those who didn’t watch.
can use to differentiate- different videos/lessons based on needs - different “work” based on ability/needs
