Overview of Today’s Session• What is “Flipping”
• Why flip?
• TED Ed
• Khan Academy
• Sophia
• Other sources for free digital content
• Which one you should use
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
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
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
TED Ed
TED Ed
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
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!
TED Ed
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
TED Ed Advisory Board• Jonathan Bergmann
• Aaron Sams
• Sir Ken Robinson
• Melinda Gates
• Salman Khan
• Jackie Bezos
• John Hunter
Next Up:

Khan Academy
Khan Academy
• Every video in Khan Academy was built using screencasting software by Salman Khan
• His site has grown exponentially due to the generous donations from people like Bill Gates
• The goal of this non-profit organization is that anyone will be able to learn anything – for free
Khan Academy• Once you set up your account, you have
access to all of the videos and lessons on the site
• Here’s an example lesson on “Order of Operations”
Order of Operations Lesson
Order of Operations• You can type an answer in the box on the left
side of the screen
• You can elect to watch a video if you get stuck
• You can hit the “Show Next Step” button to see how the problem is solved step-by-step
Search What to Learn• The next two slides show two different ways
to find lessons– By topic (eg. Order of Operations)– By subject (eg. Math, Algebra I, etc.)

Putting a Lesson in Your Playlist or Group

• Keep track of all of your playlists and groups in your Sophia Dashboard
Your Sophia Dashboard

What Kind of Learner Are You?• Sophia gives users a quick, five-question
quiz to determine your learning style– Visual– Verbal– Auditory– Interpersonal– Applied (“Real World” application)
Other Sources For Digital Content
• WatchKnowLearn
• YouTubeEDU

So…Which One Should I Use?
• I have NO clue!
• Every teacher has different needs
• I don’t think you can go wrong with any of these options
• The only way you can go wrong is to not use ANY of them!
