Recently, an assignment in the Innovative Learning Program required me to teach a short, flipped lesson. This has been on my (ever-growing) tech-to do list, and I never seemed to have the time for it. This assignment was a great way to force me to try something new!
So, it started with 1 short math lesson. I used "Show Me", an app made for an iPad, and also a website that can be accessed. It is basically a whiteboard that you can write on, and you can record your voice while you "draw". After my first video, I decided that it was quick, painless, and actually quite fun. I have ended up doing a mini "flipped" math video lesson every day! The results have been immediate. Since students are watching the video the day before I teach the lesson, they are able to frontload the math, and have a bettter and deeper understanding by the time they come to class. Not only have I seen particular students' confidence skyrocket (and therefore, increased participation), but I have recieved feedback from several parents. Parents have mentioned that it helps THEM to understand the math better, and they are able to answer any questions their child might have before they come to class. I have also had feedback from students, where they let me know that the videos make it easier to understand. My only regret is that I took too long to begin this! I can't wait to have videos for math right at the start of next school year!
