Moore Flippin’ Resources

A “Flipped Classroom” is a classroom that uses class time to do activities/lessons (guided by the teacher) and “homework” time for guided instruction, usually through video. Basically, it turns a classroom upside down: the learning of a topic is done at home and then the applied practice or work is done at school.

Hosting Platforms

Once you have your videos, you will need to host them on a site your students can access from home and school.

  • NEISD Google Docs Resources Once your video is uploaded and shared with the public, click on the video and chose the “pop-out” option. Then click on the 3 dots and chose embed item. Copy the code and paste in your blog or website. Click here to see an example of a Google Site used as a Teacher Web replacement. Example (mp4 format):

  • Edublogs– The easiest way to upload videos from your iPad to your blog is through the Edublogs app.  Maximum upload file size for videos: 32 MB. 
  • Edmodo– When you upload a video to Edmodo, it will give you a URL, thus viewable on any device with Internet connection. However, it will not be embeddable on other platforms. (100MB max)
  • Blendspace– Create lessons in 5 minutes, collect web resources in one place and share with just one link, measure student understanding with built-in quizzes, monitor student progress and adapt to student needs in real-time. Lesson Tracking Tutorial Blendspace supports playing videos uploaded or imported from Dropbox or Google Drive with the following formats: M4V, OGV, WEBMV, FLV

  • YouTube– YouTube is probably the easiest way to upload your content to the web for viewing, however, the NEISD filter will not allow students to view videos on district devices while on campus. Viewers would have to use the Internet from home. If all students in your class have Internet access, this would be the best solution.
