This is great work Aaron and co! I am trying to do this with my professional training courses, which would make it a lot easier to deal with mixed ability trainees - they could do as little as much as they need to before the course, then the course just becomes a workshop for discussion and practice.
My main question is, how are you using a graphics tablet hooked up to Camtasia?
as a struggling chemistry student who has a talking-head type of teacher, and as a lover of student-empowering education in general, I LOVE this idea!
@misook87 Only that's not the case. The after school stuff is watching videos online, getting the lecture that used to be in the class. The work, what used to be homework, is in the classroom where they can get help from their teacher.
@br10pb Sal stumbled upon this idea and has produced a lot of content that can be used for this, but Sal isn't by any means an expert in the fields he teaches. Sal is the man, but Sal is making things popular and laying groundwork.
i learn programming in a course with the save idea you sit infront a computer with headphones and listen to a lecature and there is a teacher in the class if you got a problem or need somthing more on the subject.
Aaron--this is SO COOL! I did this with my calculus and algebra II classes (with pretty good success so far!). What do you do with kids who decide not to watch the videos? Surely there are at least a few who don't...
The teacher in the video is teaching the kids to learn, to be able to solve the problems for them selves. Not to remember what 2 + 2 is. If they learn these skills they can do anything.
As for the hippie science teacher in mr Aaronandfabs school the powers that be know good and well what he does. If you do not have the skill of problem solving you will not get very far.
my science teacher is a 38 year old hippie that fills our brains with more political and religeous ideas than science...and he literally quotes at least once a week
"you don't need to pay attention and do the work in my class, you only get graded on your homework completion and tests, i don't care what you do, you're in charge of your learning..." and other things along those ligns...i could so easily get this guy fired
@Aaronandfabs And you think the school he works in does not know how he runs his class. They know what he does, it takes very little time for it to get around the school that a teacher is cool.
@MLDWoody Just think about what you said. A teacher is there to teach but if they're not willing to put in they're part in then it's they're fault. You can't always hold the teacher accountable for everything.
@Trashjack101 Blaming the teacher for everything is exactly what I don't want to do. I am just saying this clearly will not work for a lot of students. And not just students that are a lost cause.
This is a good idea, and I am sure it will work in some places. But there are a lot more changes to our education system that should be changed first (like switching the start times of Elementary schools and High schools).
@Koshy2 Abandoning may have been a strong word, but what I am saying is this teaching style would obviously not work for kids with "ADD" (sarcastic quotes there). But at the same time, I wouldn't want an education system that strives to make sure everyone is on the same level and slows down so these kids can catch up. That just hurts the smart kids in the class, and these are the students that will be leading us into the future. No reason to punish them.
Wow another hour of homework every night. Thanks bro. All he did was double his classroom hours. I hate when my professors try to do stuff like this. I take classes for 11 hours a day I don't have time to go home afterwards and watch a stupid video. #raging/rant
@hdwblade thats not how it works. You learn the basics at home in a 20-30 minute video and in class you ask questions, preform labs and fill in the gaps, thus extending your learning.
@hdwblade There is no extra time, all he did was "flip" the pattern routine. Instead of the traditional lecture during class then hw based on said lecture after school he lets them learn afterschool and then do hw/experiment during class, where he can tutor his students also.
As I was watching the video, I kept thinking about how similar this was to my AP Chem class. Then I realized the podcasts sounded familiar. Then I looked in the description, and saw the name Jonathan Bergmann and woodland park. We watched dozens of these podcasts, (with our teacher pausing and explaining some parts).
Several other students and I got 5's on the AP test, and most people in the class got 3s and 4s. Podcasts can work.
@TheNumber2Pencil546 The point is, instead of lecturing, the teacher has time to go around and make sure every student understands everything, If anything, the teacher is more involved.
@TheNumber2Pencil546 Yes, He deserves more pay, then say, a teacher that stands at a board all class and lectures. I am a teenager, and I am currently taking Chemistry and I can tell you that it is a very hard class. All my teacher does is lecture ALL period. Kids and teens want to have fun when they learn, not sit down and take notes all class. With the technology we have these days, the best way to teach is through technology like this teacher is doing. He also has time in class to help kids.
Wow. I do that haha and I'm taking AP Bio. My teacher teaches during class but hardly anything he teaches are on his test. His class overall does good on the AP exam, about 80% gets 5's but still, I go to khanacademy(dot)org i learn the material there, read the book, practice with online test and when i get to class I have a lot of confidence b/c I know what the whole chapter is about :D
I have a class like this and coincidentally it is also chem. To me it is wierd, but i still learn anyway. Some kids dont learn anything and some do but i guess that is how any class is. I dont watch the videos I just see the teacher do one example and i usaly get it or i ask a friend. (i am getting a low A to High B) My friend on the otherhand loves the videos. I guess it just allows people to learn their way. I got used to it, but i dont know if i would want this in every class. Just my opinion
Why is there no organized group of teachers to speak for every educator? really no one hears teacher; they're just told what to teach and how to teach it. is it just me or has american schooling taken a turn for the worst?
@animefreek217 yeah like most of my teachers teach more than the curriculum and, surprisingly, that content is on the final required COUNTY test. it's in the test and they don't even tell the teachers to teach it.
I think this is a brilliant idea. Definitely would have made high school better for me. I went to a 2-day per week school and the rest was independent study, but it worked mostly like a normal school, with lecture at school and then piles of homework, and if we needed help, one day per week we could come in for tutoring, which wasn't really helpful to me. If my teachers could have done this so I could see the lecture on my off days then actually get help in class, I would have retained more.
it seems easier to admin the class but believe me it is so diffcult to answer all types of questions from some one who tried to read the subject before the class. If you are patient enough, the students will learn more and the teacher will get use to it.
All my teachers used to praise the old way of teaching. They thought that books are the best ways to learn and computers are toys. But that's not how we are naturally. It's for example easier for us to learn something by seeing it then trying to imagine it ourselves. I used to think learning this way is boring and after so many years I still think it is. Using technology helps us in so many areas of our lives, why should education be different? Why not make learning fun?
Is playing doing other shit while the teacher is explaining things on his phone. Comes to class says to teacher I didn't get anything that was said reteach it. Srsly why even go to school if you are doing this?

This is your chance to not only tell your story, but to see other people's untold stories as well. The first topic will be posted today!
I think it's very cool. the fact that the students are responsible for watching the podcasts themselves means that they're more responsible for their learning, which is what education is and what it's supposed to be: students have to learn how to learn, while teachers are there to guide them through that process.
Hopefully this can be applied to all kinds of classes of varying difficulties
@za3boora he said three, because there is a rule of three in everything, people understand his occupation after those three things he also didn't need to say son because everyone knows he is a son, not everyone is a father a teacher or a husband.
I am a student of a flipped classroom and i love it! If you think that the homework load would be too much to watch a podcast, look at how long struggling through 20 math problems is, taking up to an hr. Watching a 20 minute podcast can be easier. Especially when a student in extracurriculars (like me) can watch the podcast on my ipod while traveling to and from activities. the teachers role is really important and it does not mean the teacher is lazy, but someone to help you understand.
Look at music lessons, my teacher expected me to do some practicing at home and show up prepared for the next lesson. The same is true for anything - takes practice, especially something like math and hard science. Idk, this just seems like slacking off on doing the work, where the real learning happens.
This such a stupid idea for any teacher. Students who do extra-curriculars barely have any time at home as it is, the last they should have to do is go home and take another fucking class.
This seems like a good idea. The school environment is naturally stressful and distracting, so it really does not make much sense to supply lectures in an environment which is not suitable to that. It seems that the very assignments that they send home as homework are the kind of things that would most benefit from a social setting, while the work that is done on campus is most suitable to be done in a relaxed environment that permits higher focus.
My class "Flipped" for about a week... I HATED it. That's probably because I don't have a very good teacher. I would spend all my time out of school looking at useless, uninformative powerpoints, and get insanely hard work to do the next day. We weren't allowed to be social or anything like in this video. If one of us asked the teacher for help, she'd explain it wrong or in a totally confusing manner or simply say "figure it out." But your class looks fun and informative.
interesting! with this i think you're more likely to pay attention (and remember things) in class because you're "applying" what you are learning immediately, as opposed to "listening," and perhaps wondering when you will use it.
I love that you do not teach, but are the key to allow the students to learn your knowledge. I am learning through college at 29, it is not if the kids "get" the subject, but how they "get" the subject and apply it to life in other areas. I fully feel your teaching style will help the high school students in your classroom and give them a greater chance of retaining the information you have provided for them. I wish you the best of luck in your future!
This sounds like a College concept, passed down to your high school. I vote leave at the college level.Or better yet, ask each one of your students, if they enjoy extra work (AFTER SCHOOL ON THERE TIME).....
@Gilligan569 Once you get to college, you'd wish they made you do more work outside of school. Using "there" incorrectly doesn't help your case either.
Having a hard time believing this is Best for the Students. With all there after school activities, part time jobs,and sports they love to be apart of.Now your wanting them to go home, and crunch a few hours more of video homework. Heres a thought.Gee, just think if every teacher followed this concept of (Extra Teaching Time) outside of School.These students are looking at a 12 hour OVERLOAD. Keep the time your dedicated to your class room time. And not trying to grab more of the students time.
Hmm, interesting video. However, it has been scientifically proven that only a completely traditional teaching approach is effective and all of your students will grow up unprepared for the world and will all fail.
@Microwavish and it has been proven scientificly that facts can be made up and completely untrue, especialy if the one stating the fact doen't name a source. This was proven by me and i am an expert in false facts.
I kinda like that idea. You're going to have homework every night anyways, haha I think I definitely could have handled watching some videos after school. No more getting stuck on a problem with no one to help you.
I don't expect a response, but could you please tell me what those flaming bubbles in your chemistry class were? I'd like to try it!
@Rubyfreckles78 Videos can be downloaded to a flash drive for those who don't have the internet. They can also be burned to a DVD for those who don't have a computer. Just insert the disk into any DVD player and hit play. At my school, they can also watch the videos during their study hall in the library.
What if you don't believe in homework? What if you believe a child's time outside of school should be their own, to explore the other adventures life has to offer outside the formal academic arena?
@katiramom I'm a college student and I wish my parents made me do more homework. Passing high school with a B is easy that requires little work. Homework is there so we can remember what we learn and apply it later in life. I was an A-B student with a 3.9 GPA leaving high school, and now I'm struggling to keep a 3.0. Creativity comes from learning and application, not Jersey Shore (I wish I knew that when I was smoking and watching tv with my friends)
@katiramom yeah, but knowing kids and actually being a kid, that could just lead to hours of social networking, internet usage, and playing video games. with the occasional few who like to, they would read. in the present society, "life's adventures" is pretty non-existent.
found this link from a discussion of khan academy--this seems like a very impressive initiative. i wish author would discuss his thoughts on form factor--ie, are narrated videos intrinsically superior to text. I believe that is the case--although text will remain vital for reference and review.
There are a few questions I have. 1) What do you do about students that don't have access to the internet and 2) In my school, a good 35-50% of students don't do HW. Does it matter to acquisition of the skill if they aren't getting the content of the lesson at home? and 3) How does this apply in an English classroom. Do you know anyone doing it?
"What to learn, how to learn it, when to learn it and how to prove to me that they learned it". I can see that the times of learning has changed but is it not still teacher-cetred in this respect? Yes, a different modality - online and video (great!) but what underlying structural changes in terms of power and student-centredness? "We've changed the place in which content is delivered". In what ways are the pupils negotiating content?
Our students don't watch the videos on youtube. They watch them on internal school servers and on other sites. We just put these on Youtube so that everybody can benefit from the.
Mark: We don't lecture in class at all anymore, so our students don't have any choice. Those who don't watch the videos just get behind. After four years of doinhg this, we haven't had too many problems with kids who don't watch the videos.
My entire course is on Youtube. People all over the world use my videos. My students refuse to watch them, coming up with excuse after excuse. I am already set up to do this, but I don't think the kids will go along with it,.
@MarkRosengarten Have you considered the idea of enticing the students by grabbing their curiosity in some way, an incentive to watch. Using ideas that TV and radio use to get and keep people watching. People have an innate need for completeness, so if you tell them a story or something and say they can find out the ending in the video you might get more interest.
@Wordtoons I could do that. The results would be fairly predictable and I would have to redo my entire course. It took a whole year to get this done, a year in which I did little else. I don't intend to do it again for a while. No one else in our whole region has done what I have done with these videos and I don't see most of my colleagues doing this. Most of them don't know enough about basic technology to pull this kind of thing off.
@MarkRosengarten Sounds like a huge amount of work for sure, so a shame its not getting the kids attention..... You could add the curiosity element to the videos by using annotations! Add some extra humor..ask for kids input, tell them you have added ' secret links ( annotations that link to other videos) Ask them to choose a 10 second part of the video and do a Animated summary using Xtranormal or similar text to animation service. Don't give up on it!
@Wordtoons I could put a lot of extra stuff into it, but those students who would have gone there anyway are the only ones who are going to care enough to go. And I am talking about HONORS students. If there was any extra humor it might as well be stand-up. Have you WATCHED these videos? Tens of thousands of chemistry students all over the world use my work, but my own students just WON'T. And actually create something? That would require them to do work outside of school!!!! Horrors!

You hear on the news the NEWS story of an event. You look back on NEWS stories of historical events. Do you ever hear personal stories? Sure, during a TV interview or a documentary, but that doesnt represent everyone who went through that event. This is your chance to not only tell your story, but to see other people's untold stories as well. The first topic will be posted today!

I think it's very cool. the fact that the students are responsible for watching the podcasts themselves means that they're more responsible for their learning, which is what education is and what it's supposed to be: students have to learn how to learn, while teachers are there to guide them through that process.
Hopefully this can be applied to all kinds of classes of varying difficulties

@za3boora he said three, because there is a rule of three in everything, people understand his occupation after those three things he also didn't need to say son because everyone knows he is a son, not everyone is a father a teacher or a husband.

I am a student of a flipped classroom and i love it! If you think that the homework load would be too much to watch a podcast, look at how long struggling through 20 math problems is, taking up to an hr. Watching a 20 minute podcast can be easier. Especially when a student in extracurriculars (like me) can watch the podcast on my ipod while traveling to and from activities. the teachers role is really important and it does not mean the teacher is lazy, but someone to help you understand.

Look at music lessons, my teacher expected me to do some practicing at home and show up prepared for the next lesson. The same is true for anything - takes practice, especially something like math and hard science. Idk, this just seems like slacking off on doing the work, where the real learning happens.
TheMajestuoso 3 months ago
This such a stupid idea for any teacher. Students who do extra-curriculars barely have any time at home as it is, the last they should have to do is go home and take another fucking class.
andeath445 3 months ago
This seems like a good idea. The school environment is naturally stressful and distracting, so it really does not make much sense to supply lectures in an environment which is not suitable to that. It seems that the very assignments that they send home as homework are the kind of things that would most benefit from a social setting, while the work that is done on campus is most suitable to be done in a relaxed environment that permits higher focus.

My class "Flipped" for about a week... I HATED it. That's probably because I don't have a very good teacher. I would spend all my time out of school looking at useless, uninformative powerpoints, and get insanely hard work to do the next day. We weren't allowed to be social or anything like in this video. If one of us asked the teacher for help, she'd explain it wrong or in a totally confusing manner or simply say "figure it out." But your class looks fun and informative.
PinkHobos 3 months ago
interesting! with this i think you're more likely to pay attention (and remember things) in class because you're "applying" what you are learning immediately, as opposed to "listening," and perhaps wondering when you will use it.

I love that you do not teach, but are the key to allow the students to learn your knowledge. I am learning through college at 29, it is not if the kids "get" the subject, but how they "get" the subject and apply it to life in other areas. I fully feel your teaching style will help the high school students in your classroom and give them a greater chance of retaining the information you have provided for them. I wish you the best of luck in your future!

This sounds like a College concept, passed down to your high school. I vote leave at the college level.Or better yet, ask each one of your students, if they enjoy extra work (AFTER SCHOOL ON THERE TIME).....

@Gilligan569 Once you get to college, you'd wish they made you do more work outside of school. Using "there" incorrectly doesn't help your case either.

Having a hard time believing this is Best for the Students. With all there after school activities, part time jobs,and sports they love to be apart of.Now your wanting them to go home, and crunch a few hours more of video homework. Heres a thought.Gee, just think if every teacher followed this concept of (Extra Teaching Time) outside of School.These students are looking at a 12 hour OVERLOAD. Keep the time your dedicated to your class room time. And not trying to grab more of the students time.

Hmm, interesting video. However, it has been scientifically proven that only a completely traditional teaching approach is effective and all of your students will grow up unprepared for the world and will all fail.

@Microwavish and it has been proven scientificly that facts can be made up and completely untrue, especialy if the one stating the fact doen't name a source. This was proven by me and i am an expert in false facts.

@Rubyfreckles78 Videos can be downloaded to a flash drive for those who don't have the internet. They can also be burned to a DVD for those who don't have a computer. Just insert the disk into any DVD player and hit play. At my school, they can also watch the videos during their study hall in the library.

What if you don't believe in homework? What if you believe a child's time outside of school should be their own, to explore the other adventures life has to offer outside the formal academic arena?
katiramom 6 months ago 80
@katiramom I'm a college student and I wish my parents made me do more homework. Passing high school with a B is easy that requires little work. Homework is there so we can remember what we learn and apply it later in life. I was an A-B student with a 3.9 GPA leaving high school, and now I'm struggling to keep a 3.0. Creativity comes from learning and application, not Jersey Shore (I wish I knew that when I was smoking and watching tv with my friends)

@katiramom yeah, but knowing kids and actually being a kid, that could just lead to hours of social networking, internet usage, and playing video games. with the occasional few who like to, they would read. in the present society, "life's adventures" is pretty non-existent.

found this link from a discussion of khan academy--this seems like a very impressive initiative. i wish author would discuss his thoughts on form factor--ie, are narrated videos intrinsically superior to text. I believe that is the case--although text will remain vital for reference and review.

There are a few questions I have. 1) What do you do about students that don't have access to the internet and 2) In my school, a good 35-50% of students don't do HW. Does it matter to acquisition of the skill if they aren't getting the content of the lesson at home? and 3) How does this apply in an English classroom. Do you know anyone doing it?

"What to learn, how to learn it, when to learn it and how to prove to me that they learned it". I can see that the times of learning has changed but is it not still teacher-cetred in this respect? Yes, a different modality - online and video (great!) but what underlying structural changes in terms of power and student-centredness? "We've changed the place in which content is delivered". In what ways are the pupils negotiating content?

Our students don't watch the videos on youtube. They watch them on internal school servers and on other sites. We just put these on Youtube so that everybody can benefit from the.

Mark: We don't lecture in class at all anymore, so our students don't have any choice. Those who don't watch the videos just get behind. After four years of doinhg this, we haven't had too many problems with kids who don't watch the videos.

My entire course is on Youtube. People all over the world use my videos. My students refuse to watch them, coming up with excuse after excuse. I am already set up to do this, but I don't think the kids will go along with it,.
MarkRosengarten 11 months ago
@MarkRosengarten Have you considered the idea of enticing the students by grabbing their curiosity in some way, an incentive to watch. Using ideas that TV and radio use to get and keep people watching. People have an innate need for completeness, so if you tell them a story or something and say they can find out the ending in the video you might get more interest.
Wordtoons 9 months ago
@Wordtoons I could do that. The results would be fairly predictable and I would have to redo my entire course. It took a whole year to get this done, a year in which I did little else. I don't intend to do it again for a while. No one else in our whole region has done what I have done with these videos and I don't see most of my colleagues doing this. Most of them don't know enough about basic technology to pull this kind of thing off.
MarkRosengarten 9 months ago
@MarkRosengarten Sounds like a huge amount of work for sure, so a shame its not getting the kids attention..... You could add the curiosity element to the videos by using annotations! Add some extra humor..ask for kids input, tell them you have added ' secret links ( annotations that link to other videos) Ask them to choose a 10 second part of the video and do a Animated summary using Xtranormal or similar text to animation service. Don't give up on it!
Wordtoons 9 months ago
@Wordtoons I could put a lot of extra stuff into it, but those students who would have gone there anyway are the only ones who are going to care enough to go. And I am talking about HONORS students. If there was any extra humor it might as well be stand-up. Have you WATCHED these videos? Tens of thousands of chemistry students all over the world use my work, but my own students just WON'T. And actually create something? That would require them to do work outside of school!!!! Horrors!
