Mini-Lecture

Objective 1: Creating a Flipped Video

  • Flipped classroom instruction is becoming more widely used throughout the nation. As a result, various programs are now available that provide teachers with the software to make flipped videos, edit them with ease, and upload them for their students to view. In my research, I have found that one of the most user friendly programs is Screencast-o-matic. In Unit 2 of this mini course, you will set up an account (if you do not already have one) and experiment with this program. Your task is to create a 10-15 minute flipped video on a topic of your choice that is related to your content area/grade level.

BEFORE beginning your major task, please complete the following (in this order):

  1. Watch the introductory tutorial video that I have created for you:http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cDhjqI18ZD
  2. Create an account and watch the tutorial video provided to you when you create your initial account.
  3. After signing in with your newly created account, go to "Tutorials" in the top right hand corner of your homescreen. Click on the link "Editing Tools Help". On the right side, you will see a list of various types of editing functions. While all of these editing tools are important, I have chosen four that I think will be most useful to you. Please watch the clips on the four topics I have listed below. Pay close attention as you are watching! There is a quiz to follow!
  • Cut
  • Narrate
  • Overlay Text
  • Transition

Learning Activities

Now it's YOUR turn! Choose your topic and begin working on your flipped video. Remember- Be creative and experiment! You may choose to simply use the voice recorder, or you may voice record and use the webcam- your choice! The following are requirements for your flipped video:

  • The video must be 10-15 minutes in length
  • The video must incorporate at least TWO unique editing functions (i.e. transitions, overlaying text, overlaying pictures, inserting script, etc.)
  • When your video is completed and ready for submission, please post the link to your video on our edublog site. The link is listed below. Please title your post as "Flipped Video Submission- First and Lame Name, Topic"

Conclusion

You have just created your first flipped video. Please remember that developing your first few videos will be a time investment because you are still getting to know the program. However, once Screencast-o-matic becomes more familiar, you will be able to create and edit videos with much more ease. Flipped instruction is certainly a time investment up front, but once they are made you have them for years to come!

In Unit 3, you will have the opportunity to look at your peers' work and provide feedback regarding their videos. In addition, you will also develop a follow-up activity for your video that would potentially be used the next day in class (assuming students watch the video at home).
