Thank you very much to Mr. Margolis and Mrs. Kirch for allowing me to reference their classrooms and even use their pictures.

Actually, Mr. Margolis was the one to originally suggest I create this video.  So thank you very much for that!

Flipping Education Resource Links:

The Flipped Learning Network: The go to site for teachers who are flipping their classes.  From their website, "The mission of the Flipped Learning Network™ is to provide educators with the knowledge, skills, and resources to successfully implement Flipped Learning."
The Major Online Free Flipping Content Resources:
  • WatchKnowLearn is a curated aggregator of online educational content.  Every person that links or uploads a video to WatchKnowLearn is vetted before they are approved.  This means the content here is more likely to be useful.  If you find a video elsewhere on the internet, chances are good that you can link to it here and include it in your Classroom playlist.  WatchKnowLearn is where I suggest you should start.
  • YouTube Edu: YouTube has a separate website where all of the channels had to be approved by Google to be included.  There is even a separate section called YouTube for Schools where schools can sign up to allow YouTube Edu content and block regular YouTube content, because, evidently there is some inappropriate content on YouTube.  Did you know that?
  • ShowMe and Educreations have lots of great iPad educational screencasts.
  • Khan Academy has the highest quantity of original videos, however, their entertainment score is low.  (Yes, I know I spelled Kahn incorrectly in the video, whoops.)
  • tedED has high quality, animated educational content.
  • edX is really more geared toward full lecture courses and, while very awesome, probably will be less useful to Flipping Educators.
  • Knowmia is another aggregator of online educational content and they have been working hard recently to better curate their videos.
  • NeoK12 is an aggregator of online educational content that I don't have much experience.  I would be interested to know what people think of it.
  • LessonPaths is a way to make and share playlists that include videos and other types of content as well.  (MentorMob.Edu changed their name to LessonPaths.)
  • Socratic.org is a great website if you teach Physics, Biology, Chemistry or Calculus.

Individual YouTube Channels:

eduCanon and Edpuzzle are two free, exciting tools you can use to tailor YouTube, Vimeo or TeacherTube videos to better fit your students.  You can also use them to make sure students have watched videos you assign.  "Make screencasts interactive with eduCanon" has a good description of eduCanon.

Creating Computer Screencasts: 
  • Recommended for Mac: Screen Record using Quicktime (free) and Picture-in-Picture using DwayneCam (free)
  • Recommended for Windows: Screen Record and Picture-in-Picture using electa Live (free)
  • Ink2go: Screen Record, Picture-in-Picture and draw on the screen.  Works on both Mac and Windows. ($10 with CrazyforEducation discount).
  • Paul Anderson of Bozeman Science uses ScreenFlow to record his screen casts (Mac only).  It is a $100 program and has many more post recording capabilities such as video editing, screen zooming, etc.  A Windows option is Camtasia Studio ($180 with Education Discount)
  • SnagIt ($30 with Education Discount)
  • Screenr (free, however must store at their website)
  • Screencast-O-Matic (free, however must store at their website)
  • Recommended external microphone: ~$40 Samson Go Mic Compact USB Microphone - Plug n' Play

Creating "Live Action" videos:
  • Mac - iMovie (free) - good instructions @ wikihow
  • Windows - Windows Movie Maker (free) - good instructions @ wikihow

Creating iPad Screencasts:
  • ShowMe and Educreations not only have lots of great education screencasts but also have software you can use to make your own, instructions on how to do so and will provide space for uploading them.
  • Explain Everything is an iPad app you can use to screencast and embed pictures and video into your screencasts.

Posting the Video Online:
  • YouTube (the most popular & versatile) - Probably not accessible while at school
  • Weebly (this is what I use to make this website) or Wordpress - Both have free versions
  • WatchKnowLearn & Knowmia not only already have videos, but you can also upload your own or you can upload to YouTube and link to their websites to use their "classroom" tools.

Create a Lesson: (This can include more than just the video)
  • TedEd - Click the "Create a Lesson" button at the top of most of their pages and you can add questions, notes and other resources to a lesson.  You can even customize a lesson that is already there.
  • WatchKnowLearn & Knowmia also provide tools to create lessons.
  • Don't overlook that you can create a lesson easily on a webpage as well.  Just create a series of steps for students to follow.
