Tips to overcome some hurdles and blunders that commonly happen in flipped classroom
Access
Make sure your students can assess the content
◦Some students might not be able to access the internet at their home
▹Get some flash drives, check them out to students
▹Burn the videos content onto DVDs
▹Get a set of digital devices that you can check out to your students
Watch
Make sure to teach your student how to watch a video:
▹How to interact with the video content in a meaningful way that causes them to reflect and think
▹Differences based on the maturity of the kids
▸What they are ready and prepared to learn
▹Length of the video
▸1 and 1.5 mins per grade level
◦E.g. grade 4 (4-6 mins) grade 10 (10-15 mins)
▸Keep it short
Safeguards
