 Welcome, this is Flip, your station, the beginner's guide. We are so eager and excited that you are spending your time with us to learn a little bit more about CSOT and all the possibilities that you can do with it in your own classroom. So quick intro, I'm Angela. I'm out of my kindergarten classroom. I was using five iPads with about 24 students. I lead the community team at CSOT full time to support you and teachers all over the world as they are CSINE. So you can find me on Twitter. I would love to chit chat. I would love to really find out what you're gonna do from today's session in your own classroom. I'm most eager to hear that. If you are listening to this recording, listen for a code that I will share with you orally. During this session, you will need the six digit code to get a certificate. So those of you on YouTube or listening in a follow-up email, that's what you need to do. So our plan for today is we are briefly going to talk about what is flipped learning. And I'm talking very, very brief, but I'm gonna show you, talk a little bit about a classroom setup scenarios and maybe questions that are going through your mind. We're gonna buzz through some examples. Again, just to really get your wheels turning and see how you might try this in your own room. And then I'm planning to have time for you to actually get on it right now in this session and build your first flip lesson or at least practice one. And then you can always delete it later, but we are just going to do like a quick little video today. So if you do have a second device, even if it's your cell phone, get that handy and get yourself signed into your CSOP class. You can also just sit back and relax if you just wanna watch. But then we'll have time for questions and next steps. So without further ado, let's just jump right in. So the first thing that I wanna talk about is what is flipped learning? And there's a lot of different terms that are out there. It might be flipped instruction, blended learning. Maybe you're cloning yourself. So what I found actually, as I was thinking, oh, what's definition should I share? I actually came across the flipped learning network and their definition of flip learning is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter. I have the link to that site. They have tons of resources, way more than we're even gonna talk about. But again, you may have heard a lot of terms going around and I'm calling this flip, but some people might say blended or maybe just sharing yourself in a clone situation. So stick with me, but let's talk really briefly about classroom setup and a couple of things I wanna let you know. It doesn't matter how many devices you have. You don't need fancy equipment and the only thing you do have to think about is your procedures and how you're gonna get students interacting with what you are recording and sharing. So when we're talking about this idea of flip stations, what I am saying is basically we are going to be practicing in this session a situation where you may have things that you're teaching that normally you might teach in a whole group or even in a small group. And what you're going to be doing is you're going to be recording yourself or giving some instruction that is then captured in CSAH that students can view independently on their own. So you can really individualize. You can offer opportunities for students to revisit. So that's kind of what I'm talking about. So in essence, it's like, oh, if Mrs. Gadki is sitting here with her students across the room, she can have another group of students that might be listening to a recording or a video and really starting their learning that way. So that's what we're talking about in this session. So again, when we are getting started today, I am keeping it all inside CSAH. There's no other apps you need. You don't need fancy screen casting stuff. You don't have, you know, really complicated things. We are starting really, really basic because I think that that is also really, really powerful in your classroom just starting very, very simple. So the one thing that I do wanna mention, and again, I'm moving pretty quickly for those of you that might be brand new to CSAH, when you are using CSAH and thinking about where these videos or flipped lessons are going to live in CSAH, there are really two options. So the first option on the left is you create an activity. And when you're creating an activity in the example or multimedia portion, that's where you have the video, okay? Or you might be creating a video and you're posting it to the student journal. In this case, since I'm the teacher, I like to use sample student. And then what you're doing is you're actually printing a QR code. And I'm gonna show you how to do that from that post. And you actually, I'm just gonna tell you right now. On that post, you would tap the three dots and just do get item QR code. And you see that QR code there on the screen that is generated that leads students to that post. So we'll talk a little bit later about students accessing and when you might choose to go one option or the other. If you're listening for the code for the certificate, the first three numbers are one, two, eight. So again, if you're live, you don't need to worry about that. And let's get into some examples because you might be thinking, what? What? I'm not really getting this, but here we go. So again, because we are staying just inside CISA, I'm gonna share a couple of examples and these are ones that I have created myself and used in my kindergarten classroom. So this was a word workstation and I just used the video tool in CISA. So I started using the video tool. So let's listen to this example. I'm gonna turn up my volume so you can hear this. Here we go. Hi kindergarten readers, it's Mrs. Gadki and I've made a game for you so you can practice making some words. And you'll see on these little parts of pool noodles, I've written letters. And you can see that some of the noodles are green and some of them are orange. The ones that are orange have our vowels. And remember every word has a vowel. So the first word that I built is pet, pet. So because that's a real word, I'm gonna write that on my list of words on a building and now I'm gonna change the last letter. So I'm not gonna play the whole entire thing but you can see I'm just recording video in CISA. And in this example, I just posted that to the journal what would be considered at this point posting it to sample student. So another example, again, we're just creating these videos inside CISA. So think of things that you might be teaching to a small group normally or even in a large group and we're really shifting that to free you up to really work with students at a completely different level. So here's another example and this is created by just going into the drawing tool and recording with the mic and drawing tools. So this is an example of a literacy station that I had created for differentiated groups. So you'll see kind of, it might be hard to see but it says word ladders for green table. So I had four different groups going on at this time. So I'm just gonna play a portion of this. Hi readers, today you will be making a word ladder. A word ladder lets you look closely at words and change letters or add letters to make new words. Looking closely at words helps you write words and become a better reader. So you can see I have the word and to build a word ladder I am going to add an H to the beginning and me. So again, I just wanna point out this is all done inside CISA. I'm not using any other screen casting app or recording tool, it's all in CISA. So here's an example of a math station and again, I'm sharing these various examples because I'm highlighting different ways you can record and create these videos just inside CISA. So in this example, I've taken a photo, whoa, my slides. I've taken a photo of the objects that they're going to be working with at the station and then I'm just recording with the mic and drawing at the same time. So let's listen to this example just to give you a little sense here. My abacus shows ways to make 10. I have made seven and three and I've made five and five. What I want you to do is see how many ways you can show 10 on the abacus. Try to find one, two. Okay, so that again is a really simple idea. The other thing I just wanna tell you is of course I'm showing you some ideas that you're saying, oh my gosh, I don't teach kindergarten that doesn't look like my classroom or I'm a fifth grade teacher. Really what I'm trying to share with you is different options for creating these videos. I need you to think of any content that you are already using in your own classroom because it can fit into any of these tools. So just start thinking about that as you're listening. The other thing I wanna point out too, you might be able to use multi-page which is a premium feature if you have Seesaw for schools. This is a huge advantage that you have where you can upload multiple photos and then record your voice on each page and draw as well. So here's an example. This is kind of a math activity. First, estimate how many pieces of candy you got. Remember an estimate means a good guess without counting. Now can you count your candy? So this goes on for four different pages of kind of multi-step directions. So here's someone that does a lot of centers or stations and you're working with primary students. This could be one of those situations where of course you're modeling and practicing but you have those friends that need those instructions again, this can be really supportive of that as well. So we're gonna try to build our own. Are you ready for this? Woo woo, we can do it. So if you are already signed into Seesaw, I want you to start thinking about what you could try and it might mean that you are just playing with something in your environment really quickly because I'm gonna show you how simple this is and I'm actually going to screen share on a device. I have an iPad hooked up here on QuickTime so you can see here I am in a live class as a teacher. So I'm gonna demonstrate the steps on the screen. So if you want to just watch, you can do that or you might try to give this a go right as we're playing around. So when you're signed in as a teacher, I'm gonna go ahead and tap the green add button and again, I could post this video to the journal and let me just do that quick right now to show you that flow and example. I'm gonna post student work and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna start with photo for this one and on my desk right here, I have these amazing math materials. So here's my photo and now what I'm gonna do because I'm starting with a photo, I'm actually going to record my voice and draw. So I tap record with the mic. All right, today, mathematicians, we are going to be working with a number. I'm going to choose eight. You could choose any number between five and 10. Now, I went ahead and built different combinations of eight. So for example, I have one, two, three, four and one, two, three, four. Four plus four is eight. Up here, I have one, two, two plus six is eight. You are gonna go ahead and create as many combinations as you can think of that go with your number. Then I'd like you to take a photo and show me your work and explain it using CISA. So I'm just gonna tap the done button. I'm gonna, you notice that it's saved as a video because I recorded with the mic. I'm gonna tap the green check. Of course, you're gonna do something more sophisticated than what I just did. But then I'm going to add this to the journal, okay? So when this is added to the journal, again, the benefit of that is that if you're working with itty-itty bitties and you have stations that maybe you use year after year and you're really trying to come up with a situation of I'm gonna tap sample student, tap the green check. You're coming up with a situation where you want students just to go over to that station and simply scan the QR code to this post to just be taken right to that video. This will be a good workflow for you. So again, as a teacher, I can tap the three dots and then just I guess because I'm on the iPad here print with QR code, I could choose that and we'll have a QR code going directly to that post, okay? The other option though, is that if you add and you go to assign activity, you are gonna go ahead and just choose create new activity. And the part that I wanna highlight right here, I'm gonna give this a title, making eight. Do you see this first plus where it says add multimedia instructions or example? That's where you're gonna create your video right in there. So I'm gonna go right here. Again, I can start with photo, I could start with drawing, I could start with upload if I'm doing multiple pages. I could do a straight up video as I showed you in that first example. But again, I'm gonna just go to photo, take my photo just as I had done and share with you a moment ago. And again, I have the same options here. So I can go ahead and tap record. I can say at this station, we are exploring the number eight and I'm gonna keep going and talking and talking. I'm gonna pretend I'm done with my whole video, tap the green check. This is then going to be added to the example portion of this activity. Then I can go ahead and I can finish writing the instructions for the activity. So of course I would do something like build your numbers. I'm going really, really fast for today. And I might say, of course I would say all of the instructions like tap the add button, add button to start this activity, right? Let's pretend I have all of my instructions fully done. I have voice instructions even, right? Notice I did not add a template for student responses because in this one I want them to use all the creative tools. So they might be taking a photo and things like that. So I'm gonna tap the save option. Now what I could do when I assign this, so when my students see this, they will just actually tap on that example and start playing the video. And you probably won't hear it because I'm set up kind of weird right now. But when I go ahead and assign this to students, I could then choose the specific students I wanna assign this to. So maybe I only want a few to get this. If I'm differentiating, there we go. Now again, the benefit of having it as an activity is that you could activity stay on your CSaw account. You can use it over and over and over again year after year. Meaning if you start a new CSaw class next year, these activities are still gonna be there. The downfall of activities I would say is that I think that some teachers go a little wild I'm gonna say and maybe they assign like 10 or 15 or a ton of activities to their students and there's lots of things waiting for students in the activity feed. And if you're working with really little students, that could be very overwhelming and they're not really going to be able to navigate it. So when I talk about posting to the journal instead, where they're just basically going to scan that code with the QR reader right in CSaw down here at scan. Again, it's built right in to read any of those QR codes that go to post so they don't have to jump out of this at all, okay? So I went through that really, really, really, really quickly to demonstrate. Now, if you are feeling really good, like just go for it, give it a try. I want you to actually before you to, you know, turn your, go to sleep tonight. I want you to try this out. So again, you can just start with anything, record, take a photo, record with the mic, draw, explain something. I've seen this used to give differentiated spelling tests. Think of the time you could say, right? If that was just a station that students went and listened or played the video, think about how you can differentiate more or think about, again, freeing yourself up to have some of those deeper conversations with students because they're able to get started and supported with a video that you've already created. The other thing I would suggest is get with your grade level friends and say, hey, you know what? I'm gonna do this video, you do this one and then you can also share those as well. So you can also borrow, as it says right here on the screen. So I actually have a collection, an activity collection, right? I've just shown a couple on the screen here that you might see if you visit my activity collection, which would be linked in the slide, where there are embedded videos in the example. So the thing I really want you to remember when you are thinking about doing this on your own is keep it simple. Like try something, keep it really simple, use the tools in CSAH that I just showed you, right? So again, we're moving super, super, super quickly right now. So those of you that are just beginning with CSAH, this probably might not be something you wanna try right now, but you could, that would be amazing. It is very, very easy because I just use the tools that you're already using, but just presenting it in a slightly different way from you, the teacher sharing and having that available for students to use when they're at a station. So questions and next steps. Before I go into that, the last three digits for the certificate, if you're watching the recording are seven, three, six. So think about questions that you have for me, but I also want you to be intentional about your next step, okay? So wherever you are in this journey that we've just gone on for 20, so minutes, say what are you going to do tomorrow? Tomorrow I will. Maybe it's going to be look at my lesson plan book and pick out one time, one aspect, one little teeny tiny lesson that I could record for my students instead of them hearing it directly from me. Okay, so that might be your step one. Maybe your tomorrow I will is maybe tomorrow I will explore using the video tool to create a flipped video. Maybe it's tomorrow I will talk to my colleagues and say, hey, I just watched this amazing webinar. We should try this, right? So think about your next steps. I'm going to jump into the questions and I probably won't get through everybody's question, but guess what? You know how to find me, I'm on Twitter. You're going to get this recording as well too. And boy, we could have probably been here for 90 minutes, right? Yay, Clarissa, she is going to just go for it tomorrow. I love it, I love it. Jessica, when I post to the journal and print the QR code, what happens when the student scans the QR code? Does it go right to the activity or do they select their name? Great question, Jessica. So when you post to the journal, it never goes to the activity. It's just going to show, it's just going to show the video. They will then just post to the journal without the activity flow, okay? So hopefully that clarifies that. Let's see, Whitney. How long does a typically take to create an assignment, including typing up the instructions for students, under assignment details? So Whitney, it can be pretty quick. It really depends on what you're trying to have them do. So I can't really answer that super accurately, but I've done some in five minutes. So really, really depends on what you're trying to do. Speaking of differentiation, am I able to assign leveled activities to different students? So yeah, you saw that. I demonstrated how you could do that. I know, love this, yes, Laura. Just try something tomorrow, right? Just try something. Let's see. Okay, yeah, so how do you use the QR code? So I love, thank you for asking that. I'm going really, really quickly. And I'm gonna see if I can show you on the screen. This might be pushing my tech connected limits here, but let's see what I can do. So this is my iPad right here. I am gonna go into the CESA class. Now, this is on my computer. So I'm gonna tap, because this is posted to the journal, I'm gonna tap the three dots, and I'm just gonna go to get item QR code. So envision this is sitting at a station for your little kinder babies, right? Your little five-year-olds, okay? When they go to that station in their CESA account, they have the ability in the upper left to tap the profile icon in the bottom. Go to scan, okay? So now, because I'm holding my iPad in my hand, so you're moving that around, I'm gonna go back here and I'm gonna scan this QR code. And this is what my screen looks like, what I just scanned. So now I can push play. So it's going to play the video. Okay, you can't hear it because I'm plugged in. But for your students, that's what they'll do. That was pretty easy, right? Of course, they're not gonna try to do it on two devices at the same time, but they're just gonna scan it there. So this QR code is actually created for you. Anything you post to CESA, you can generate a QR code to that post. So hopefully that answers that question for you. Oh yes, yes, so Michelle is saying she's gonna record some extensions in mathematics. Love that. When I post the journal, we'll go to parents too. No, not if you're posting to sample student. If I put activities in the sample student folder, would I lose access to the videos in that folder when I archived the class at the end of the school year? So Lori, great question. I'm glad you're thinking ahead to that. That would also be the benefit of using it via an activity instead. The videos will technically still be accessible by scanning the QR code, but they could be deleted if your account is deleted, if you haven't used it in a while and we kind of ask permission. So just think about that. Some teachers actually create a separate class where they have all their, if they're creating a class of just stored videos, they just keep that active if that makes sense. All right, I only have a few more minutes. We've got tons of questions still coming in. So I'm gonna do my best, but I've gotta jump into another webinar here in a moment. How do I make a QR code for a folder that has videos in the folder, not the individual post? So Larissa, you're gonna do that by just on the web, you can sort by a folder and it will print the entire folder of items with the QR code on them. Okay, so that, again, is a really, really, really quick explanation. Love these, tomorrow I'm going to, I love it, I love it. Can the QR code accessible anywhere else and not just within CSOT? So you can scan that QR code with other QR reader apps. I think it's just easier, though, for students to just scan it with the app they're already using. So just as I showed you, but if someone outside of CSOT would do that, they could do that and view it. All right, I love all these, tomorrow I will. Oh, okay, so Tanya, oh, Tania is saying, if I post it to the journal, will my parents see it to watch the video? So if you post a sample student, the answer is no. So that is another reason that you might choose to do it via the activity flow and adding it as an example, because once a student responds to the activity, families can actually see the activity instructions, if that makes sense. Will I have to approve their work before parents view it? Of course, so you always have to approve work before families view it at all. So keep that in mind as well. Those of you that are still have questions waiting, I'm gonna try to buzz out of here and I know we needed more time for questions, but hopefully you can reach out to me on Twitter or check out our Help Center or jump into CSOT teachers. Maybe you wanna keep the conversation going and say, hey, I was just in Angela's session and I have lots of questions. What do you know? Because there are lots of teachers that are already trying this. So give that a go. We're gonna exit out of here, but I need you to stick around for one minute and fill out a survey that's gonna pop up on the screen because we want your feedback. You wanna tell me, Angela, we really needed 45 minutes. It's okay to tell me that or say maybe what you want to learn about next time. So thanks everyone for coming. See you later.
