What do students say about these shifts?

I can understand the math a lot more
It isn’t like any boring old class
Interacting with classmates while still getting work done is a dream come true
I like the responsibility it places on the individual
You can help us more efficiently
You can spend all of class answering our questions
The “work together” environment engages us in the learning
Homework feels like learning instead of a grind

Why I Flipped

todaysmeet.com/wsqkirch

One day in October 2011...

16 of 73

Before the WSQ...

“Go home and watch this video.

Take some notes on what you think is important.

See you tomorrow!”

todaysmeet.com/wsqkirch

17 of 73

It just wasn’t working...

I didn’t know if my students were actually watching the video

Those that were “watching” weren’t necessarily “learning” or thinking about what was said.

Interactive Video Option: TouchCast

Sample TouchCast Clip: http://goo.gl/EWrTMg

TouchCast is an interactive video platform where you can create your videos and include supplemental materials such as websites, images, videos, polls, and quizzes that the viewer can interact with while watching the video.

iPad app (can import videos)
iPhone app (Beta)
Web-based version (coming soon)

My video-making process

Pick one day a week

stay late at school
choose block of time during weekend

Length to record:

No editing = video length
With Editing = 2-3x video length

Record everything FIRST, then edit everything

I didn’t do any editing my first 6 months

First year Goal: Stay 1 week ahead of students
Later Years: Edit / update past videos as needed

This data is needed for formulas to work.

(Can also ask for

Class Period)

Processing - The WSQ structured a time of processing for the students after watching the video. Before, students would just watch the video and take notes, and then move on to their next subject without really thinking about what they just learned. By having them Watch → Summarize → Question, students have to think about what they learned, actually write about it (which helps to cement it in the brain), and then ask a question about the material. This is a method of engaging them in the video lesson and making the video a little more interactive because they are required to respond to and reflect on what they learned. They can do this handwritten or online, but I prefer having them do so online via a GoogleForm because it gives me immediate feedback on the lesson before I even get to school the next day and it also gives students feedback because I allow students to see the submitted responses once they submit theirs.

Student Feedback

It helped me realize I had to hear and watch not just copy whatever you did in the videos.
Instead of just memorizing equations and such, the WSQ helps you go in depth of what we're learning and why
Letting you know about our confusions is helpful because you get to answer all our confusions during class time.
The WSQs helped me think critically about the content. It helped me process the information for the next day.
Every time I walk into class, I never feel afraid or scared of what I will be learning because I have the whole period to discuss last night's WSQ.

Lessons Learned

You don’t need a WSQ reflection every day

Can combine lessons

Specific questions (guided summaries) help students to zone in on most important parts of lesson
Throw “freebies” in the Google form for fun
