Tony, I realize your post is old, but let me answer anyway. Having students make videos would be a good assessment tool. However, the concept of flipping is built around teachers providing content for consumption at home that would ordinarily be presented in a lecture format in the classroom. The classroom time is spent with students working on what used to be homework but with the teacher available to guide and coach. That allows for on-going assessment and re-direction.

About 20 students on my team of 110 do not have internet access at home. How do you deliver the lectures to these types of students?

Also, I have several students who will not do any type of classwork at home, including watching a lecture. Their parents cannot be counted on to enforce this at home. We only get from these kids what we can get completed while they are at school.

How do you handle these types of situations?

Hi Katie,

Love your videos. Have you ever thought of using Glogster EDU as a platform to compile your units and videos?

ITMADESIMPLE might find an article by Richard Clark, Paul Kirschner and John Sweller interesting. Their article appeared in American Educator 2012 and explains how "fully guided instruction" (not just lectures) are the basis of creating long-term new information in brains. The stage of students doing the presentations can certainly come later (and might be the steps laid out for the next year's group of students). Clark is worth the time to listen to...

Great for the teacher but what you should be doing is getting your kids to make the videos and content, this would demonstrate they understand the learning. Students should be presenting this material not you. You should be facilitating the understanding and development of knowledge an how it might be interpreted & manipulated. All you are doing is presenting video or what you would do in your class. Please tell me how you are challenging your students thinking not changing the way you deliver.
