Sponsored by http://bit.ly/BullyLesson1 I show teachers and administrators the features of each one of these platforms to see which one is right for them. Each of these websites give teachers the opportunity to attach assessments to their own videos, or other people's videos.

Which one you should use

3. Information Overload
• With all of the free resources available, where
do you start?
• Don’t worry about that…just start somewhere!
• Pick a website or two, and explore

4. What is “Flipping”?
• Flipping is a technique where teachers post
digital content for students to watch at home
– Videos
– Podcasts
• Students come to class the next day with
some clue as to what is being taught
• Instead of lecture, students engage in
– Cooperative learning
– Projects
– Class discussions

5. Why Flip?
• Flipping reduces the amount of class time
spent on lecture
– More time available for other activities
• Students do their “homework” under the
supervision of their teacher, not at home
alone
• Teachers can differentiate their lessons for
students of all ability levels
– Repetition helps students transfer information to
long term memory

8. Where to Find Videos to “Flip”
• Series
– Big ideas
• Subject
– Science, Math, History, etc.
• Best Flips
– Videos already in TED Ed’s library
• YouTube
– Choose any YouTube video, and TED Ed will do
the rest!
• Make your own and upload to YouTube

9. One Cool Feature:
• You can use the assessment attached to the
video, or write your own
• When you “borrow” the video, lesson, and
assessment – you get a unique URL
• Remember, you can edit the “Quick Quiz”,
“Think”, and “Dig Deeper” sections of the
lesson
• When your students use the URL you email
them, YOU get the results of their quiz!

11. One More Cool Feature
• If your lesson is nominated and accepted, an
animator will make an animated version of
your lesson!
• The vision of the site’s builders is that a
gigantic resource will be built for teachers…
one video at a time

• Every video in Khan Academy was built using
screencasting software by Salman Khan

generous donations from people like Bill
Gates

anyone will be able to learn anything – for
free

16. Khan Academy

access to all of the videos and lessons on
the site

Operations”

41. So…Which One Should I Use?

these options
• The only way you can go wrong is to not use
ANY of them!
