3. Note to iPad Users
Apple has removed the YouTube app from devices;
you have to download the new Google version from
the App store.
YouTube on an iPad will look quite different than
when accessing it via the web. You may not have all
the functionality you are looking for.
Use the desktop version through the Safari browser.

4. Where’s your YouTube Channel?
Is your school using Google Apps for Education?
Has your GAFE admin turned on YouTube for
teachers and/or students?
If not, you can create a personal Google Account and
that will give you access to YouTube.
If you have a Google Account already, go to YouTube
and sign in with that account information to connect
your Google Account to YouTube.

38. Flipping the Classroom

Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures…
for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously,
often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in
groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating. Classrooms
become laboratories or studios, and yet content delivery is preserved. Flip
