In this presentation I describe my journey in using videos to teach skills in my high school chemistry classroom. This is now referred to as the "flipped classroom"

2. INTRODUCTION
• Thisslideshow is at: http://www.slideshare.net/
(search “eizenga”)
• About me
• HCHS Chemistry teacher 17yrs
• 1:1 laptops & new building - 4yrs ago
3. INTRODUCTIONS
(CONT.)
• Think, Pair, Share:
• Introduce yourself: Name, School, Role at School
• Discuss a skill you have learned online - what was good/bad
about the experience?
• Be ready to respond with your partner’s skill & experience
4. LEARNING SKILLS
• How do you learn a Skill?
• Demonstration - by an “expert”
• Practice, Practice, Practice
• Feedback
• What is good/bad about doing this online vs. “live?”
• 24/7 - great!
• Can learn/review at different paces
• Feedback can be tough
5. SKILLS
IN THE CLASSROOM
• Chemistry
• Lab Skills - using balances, hot plates, volumetric flasks
• Math Skills - calculations
• Frustrations
• Demonstrate & Repeating Lab Skills - I need 8 more of me!
• How many Example Calculations on the board?
• Everyone starts & learns at different paces - Differentiated Educ.
6. SKILLS
IN THE CLASSROOM
• Discuss in your Group
• What are skills in your classroom?
• Have you had any frustrations in teaching them?
• How have you worked to solve these frustrations?
7. USING VIDEOS
• Lab Skills - this is where I started
• Easy - Camera & iMovie (w/help from my son)
• Math Skills - a bit trickier 3 things needed to make videos
• Electronic white board
• Writing instrument
• Recording audio/video of screen:
• Show a couple videos
8. USING VIDEOS
• Solving each of the 3:
• Electronic white board:
- ActivInspire (application w/ ActivSlate)
- Skitch (free download on internet!)
- AirSketch(iPad app)
• Writing instrument:
- Slate(ActiveSlate,Wacom)
- iPad
• Recording audio/video of screen:
- Screencast-o-matic (website)
- Camtasia (application)
- ScreenChomp (iPad app)
• OR a Camera & You at your board
9. WHAT HAPPENED?
• Students HATED it! & Students did AWFUL!
• “Teacher isn’t teaching us” & “I can’t learn this way”
• “I thought I understood it” & “I don’t get it”
• Changes that I made
• Explained various ways to use the videos:
Introduction, while performing the skill, as review
• Offered optional lectures - one day, 1 or 2 problems “live”
• Students began CHOOSING how to LEARN
•Igave time to work with more help in class - that used to be at
home, before/after school
10. THE “FLIPPED CLASSROOM”
• My classroom began to look like this:
• 12 students up at the front listening to a 20min lecture - then I am
watching/asking Q’s/answering Q’s (Assessing!)
• Students watching videos: alone & together
• Students working on practice sheets (remember these are skills) &
checking answers online
• Others were talking about this too:
• Wes Fryer: http://www.wesfryer.com/
• Salman Khan: http://www.khanacademy.org/
• Jonathan Bergman/Aaron Sams: http://vodcasting.ning.com/
11. THE “FLIPPED CLASSROOM”
• “Flipped Classroom”
• Students watch videos at home & practice in class w/teacher as tutor
• Hesitations:
• Some students benefit from lecture - esp. if they chose it
• Skills vs. Concept understanding
• Science - inquiry process to understand concepts
inquiry labs show students who can “do” vs. students who “understand
or use”
• Choosing HOW to use the videos is a powerful way to have students own
their learning, rather than have them become an “assignment”
• Echoed in other places: http://www.connectedprincipals.com/archives/3367
12. NOW WHAT?
• Getting a video
• Make one: get your tech people to help!
• Use someone else’s
• Khan academy: http://www.khanacademy.org
• iTunesU
• Search YouTube, Vimeo, SchoolTube
• Giving students access to it
• Moodle/Google site/Posterous - limited upload sizes
• Link to an outside source (can students get to it?)
• Podcast Producer & a iTunes feed - see tech people!
13. STUDENT/PARENT
COMMENTS
• Parents - at P/T conferences
•I wish I had this - I might have done better in chemistry!
• That’s what I heard all the way to Florida!
• Students
•Ilike to watch the videos before the lecture and see if I need
to come to it.
•Iuse them while I’m doing the problems when I get stuck and
don’t know the next step
•I watch them before we have a test.
