So You Want To Flip Your Class?

Congratulations! You’re a brave soul that has decided to step out and do something new with your class that will increase engagement and help make your classroom more student-centered.

Flipping your classroom can be very easy or very time consuming to do, depending upon how you set it up.

If you decide to create the content for your flipped class, you have a lot of work ahead of you. It may take you a few school years to achieve a 100% “flip” but if you create a little bit of content at a time, you will have a resource library that will be AMAZING!

Of course, you can always supplement your own content with the content of others (we call this content curation) that you have viewed and approve for use. Or, you can decide that you don’t want to create and you just want to use other’s content. That’s cool, too!

Flip Tools for iPad

If you’ve got an iPad, you’ve got a great tool you can use to flip your classroom. Some of the best apps to use to create content for the flipped classroom are:

• Explain Everything

• Educreations

• ShowMe

• ScreenChomp

• Knowmia

• DoodleCast Pro

Flip Tools for PC

What can I say about flipping on a PC except that you have access to the grandaddy of all screen casting tools - Camtasia. With the pro version, you can embed tests into your videos. Wow.

How Do You Build Your Flipped Classroom?

The debate rages over the best platform to use for flipping your classroom. There has to be somewhere that holds all of your content that you control. This home would also ideally be secured and safe for your students.

Lots of schools are already using Moodle, while tools like Edmodo, CK-12, and more. All of them have their strong and weak points.

Here’s my recommendation for building your flipped classroom: start your own blog. With a blog, you can add just about any functionality you want, especially if you are using a self-hosted Wordpress blog.

Right now, I’m offering something special to teachers that want to start their own blogs. Read more about how you can get your own Wordpress blog, installed and set up with some great tools, right here:

Flip Tools for Mac

I create a lot of content on my Macbook Air and I couldn’t function without one tool in particular: Screenflow. If you’ve seen my screen casting videos, they are all made with this amazing software. I even use it for video editing on my other videos!

Google Tools for Flipping

Did you think I wouldn’t talk about Google? HA! You can use Google Drive to create documents, make quizzes with Google Forms (and grade them automagically!) and share content to anyone! What’s not to love about
