Making Sense Out of Flipped Lessons

@joe_edtech

Recently I had the opportunity to run a workshop on "Flipped Classroom" techniques with an excellent veteran math teacher. As we sat down to talk about the things that have to be considered before teachers simply make a video and share it with their kids, we came up with a key list of pre-production ideas to focus on. The list included items like:

• metascripts for lesson planning
• production values for videos
• software available
• long term storage

While we had a great discussion about preparing instructors to teach in the flipped classroom, I think the piece we missed was preparing students to succeed in a flipped classroom. If I had to do it all over again, I would suggest that we model and then scaffold note taking skills using tools like VideoNot.es.

An add on to Google Chrome, VideoNot.es allows you to split your screen and watch an instructional video on the left and take time stamped notes on the right.

And because it is all integrated with Google Drive, it is simple to share notes in collaborative groups or just between student and teacher.

VideoNot.es can be found on the Chrome Web Store by clicking here.

Here are some easy to follow instructions on getting started with VideoNot.es from Chris Morris:
