Culminating Activity

You work in this mini course has been leading up to the culminating activity where you create your own video. Please follow the link to find detailed information on the Culminating Activity.

Final Suggestions

Now that you know how to plan out a unit and record video, here are a few final suggestions for creating a flipped classroom unit.

Come up with a naming system that allows students to easily identify which video goes with which lesson.
- In my class I call them Video (Unit #)-(Which Day's Homework). For example Video 2-3 is a video from unit 2 that students will watch after we have done day 3 in class and will introduce them to the concepts for the next day's class.

Depending on your level of student, it may be helpful to create guided notes for students to fill in.

A general guideline for length is to try and limit your videos to 2 minutes per grade level. So if you teach 8th grade, your target would be 16 minutes or less.

On the first day of the school year I teach students how to take notes for my videos.
- I mark important things to write down with a yellow star. Students then know that it is something they should copy down. I also have them copy down any example problems.

I have my student sit in groups. On the first day of in class work, I discuss with students their role within their group.
- Each student needs to be comfortable asking for help and also stopping what they are doing to offer assistance when a group mate asks for it.
- Ask your group for help before asking the teacher.
