i can see from the posts enumerating activities that i actually am in the process of flipping my classroom...but it doesn't feel flipped. does that make sense? does my brain just need to catch up?

TED Ed - Flip Videos

I use TED Ed (occasionally) as a flipped classroom approach. I do not adhere fully to the 'Flipped Classroom' however there are elements of it that I like, such as allowing students to work at their own pace, freeing up classtime, etc...
I have created a quick introduction to what Ted Ed offers and how I integrate it into my teaching practice:

Pros
Cons
An easy way to integrate the 'Flipped Classroom" approach into teaching practice.
According to the Berrett (2012)  a large percentage of students do not like this approach. However, I have not found this to be the case with my students in Secondary education.
User friendly
There have been some problems with the upload speed and some of my rural students have not been able to access it. It also doesn't provide students with an opportunity to save their work until the end, so if it crashes half way through they lose everything.
A selection of 'Flips' already created by experienced educators and   animators.
Presently, some subjects are better represented than others.
Links with You Tube so that it is easy to source video content.
Takes time to view the videos (in advance) to make sure that they are suitable.
Provides data that can be used for diagnostic and formative assessment.  
 
It does not allow you to export the data into a spread sheet etc.
It provides an easy way of differentiating tasks for students. It frees up classroom time for inquiry, discussion, group work.
 
Students need to register in order to be able to use the site. They   can do this via email or Facebook, which brings issues of privacy, data   collection etc.
The discussion forum allows for collaboration and allows teachers to   respond to points, further extend the discussions etc.
Some students do not like sharing information online.
Works with multi-media platforms - Android and IOS compatible. (This   is important for me as I teach at a BYOD school.)
 
Encourages collaboration between educators and encourages the   philosophy of sharing resources.
 
 
Other Points
Like other 'flip classroom' approaches it enables students to learn at their own pace, they can watch the videos a number of times, pause, fast-forward etc. it allows for differentiation and self-paced learning. I also like that you are able to see whether or not a student has watched the video and the statistics it provides, which inform whether they have understood the content; this provides good information for where to pitch the next lesson, grouping students in class and differentiating activities.
At the school where I teach we seem to continually miss class time with our students, as they have sporting commitments, class trips, camps etc. I find that TED Ed helps those students to keep up with the work that we are doing in class, as they can access it through their phones, ipads etc.anywhere.

This is a Google community I belong to and personally (by virtual means I suppose) know Tom Driscoll.  Vedry useful to hear how others manage their time, energy and resources.  It does take some time in the initial stages but early research is finding the benefits to students as very promising.

You may need to ask to be invited.  Not difficult.

Note paragraphs 2-4 in the short article attached.

Cheers,
Maria

Yes certainly Kelly,

One small step at a time.

It is important this does not become over whelming. Maybe set a goal of flipping one lesson a week, fortnight or even month and go from there.

Asking the combined expertise of this community.

Who else has flipped their classroom? 

How did you make sure that it did not become onerous? 

What benefits have you enjoyed that have made the time spent worthwhile?
