Webinar Alert: BrainPOP and the Flipped Classroom
Wednesday, March 20th at 3:30 PM ET- BrainPOP and the Flipped Classroom
Make homework fun and involve parents: try a “flipped” lesson! We welcome Katie Neville, master educator with more than 40 years of classroom experience and a current Technology Resource Teacher for Loudoun County (VA) public schools. She’ll show you how to build a flipped lesson using BrainPOP resources and our integration with Google. Explore different ways to engage parents and students in the process and hear some alternatives for those who don’t have internet access at home.
Using the flipped classroom allows students to learn and prepare with their parents at home before even attending school. Lots of ways to make learning more interactive and fun in this webinar.
Our school is trying to incorporate flipped classroom learning. More of the LA classes and advanced ones currently. Problem is not all of our students have the ability to do this work at home. We even use our web and edmodo pages for extra support. Slow process but the way of the future.
Kelly Neville’s presentation on FLIPPED CLASSROOM was an excellent resource for me. I often allow students to use their phones for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES of setting calendar dates, photographing HW assignments or notes they may not have had time to copy during class. Kelly’s information gave me more to think about when creating new lessons. Also confirms for me how much the district I work in needs more technology. This webinar has inspired me to perhaps write a grant – if nothing else to look into that possibility.
Awesome that you’re inspired to take action! We have a great section of the site dedicated to grant and funding resources, so take a look.
I really enjoyed the interactive tools discussed on flipped classroom. It gave me a lot of useful and helpful ideas. Also, the views on teens and cell phone usage were a good starting point to rethink how and if cell phones should be used in school. Thanks.
I also loved the overview of Google forms. She gave us a lot of good ideas to use in the classroom. Thanks again Katie for all the useful information.
I really enjoyed this webinar about the flipped classroom. It makes me wish that all my students had ipads, ipods, etc. in the classroom. I hope to implement something I learned from this webinar sometime soon especially when my school gets wifi access for the entire campus.
I love this Webinar. With so many schools going 1-to-1 or using laptops in higher frequency, these “flipped” classrooms will be more common. Very informative.
I learned so much yesterday, during the Webinar. I especially liked the Google form ideas. I posted here yesterday & still haven’t heard anything. Hmm….
Hi Lisa- Thanks so much for joining the webinar! Your certificate will be emailed to you soon. For future reference, please note that certificates are emailed within 72 hours of when you leave a comment.
interested in how to create the google forms and attach to assignments
Very helpful and informative webinar. I am a substitute so my use of BrainPop is predetermined by the teacher I am filling in for. To my knowledge, the district doesn’t use the flipped classroom concept. They show the videos in class to compliment a reading. The children love them.
I thought this webinar gave lots of tips that a beginner like me could use.
Very interesting information in this webinar. I had never heard of a flipped classroom until I saw the title of this webinar on Brainpop. I am going to try to learn more about it. Google forms was brand new to me too, I’m going to try it out and hopefully use it in my classroom. Thank you.
I live and teach in a rural community where many people do not have high speed internet access. I would love for them to be able to watch a BrainPop at home and then we could have better discussions and activities during our short class time. I love the idea of Google Forms. I have never used it before but now I’m excited to try it. Thanks for the great information.
I thought all of the information was excellent, provided that you have a lot of things already in place: a district-wide bandwith that can support all the technology and devices; teachers on board, parents on board; internet access for parents and students at home, etc etc. I think that this would be great if we could get it into Title 1 schools with high poverty. OR incredibly rural schools as well, either of those would be great places to have flipped classrooms. Are their grants out there that teachers can apply for in order to get the technology devices for their students? My second thought about this is that I don’t want it to be all technology all the time in the classroom. There is still a lot of value to learning by reading an actual book, doing hands on experiments, playing outside, and talking face to face to their teacher and peers instead of texting. We need to make sure that the generations we’re raising up now are proficient in social skills and in technology.
Great idea to have parents drive somewhere to get free wi-fi.
This was very useful for me because she took the time to layout the background steps to help make a flipped program more successful. Specific tips for starting with a project time frame and using a video such as water cycle are helpful. I especially felt hearing how they gathered extra devices was interesting and innovative. She is lucky to have a supportive administrator! I am loving these Brain Pop webinars. She didn’t really mention it but Brainpop Quizzes are great!
Thank you for your information.
I really enjoyed this webinar. Katie was very knowledgeable and really shared some great ideas on a flipped classroom. I am going to ask my parents to donate their old devices to my classroom. That was a great idea! I’m glad she explained how her school started small with just one classroom at a time. This encourages me to do this in my own classroom. I also liked the overview of the Google forms. Thanks a lot!
