3. What is GAFE?!
Google Apps For Education

4. Google Apps (to name a few):
Docs: Works just like Word.
No USBs, no email attachments, no dropbox…
All of your documents anywhere you want, anytime you want.
Great for collaboration!
Forms: Create a survey or quiz online.
Collects the responses and presents them in a
spreadsheet.
Kids cheered when we took quizzes this way!
Drive: Your own storage system in the cloud.
Can access anywhere, anytime, from any device.

5. But what is “Flipping”?
Flipping the classroom inverts the way we teach.
Students receive traditional “lecture” style instruction for
homework, and students get more hands-on time for help,
practice, enrichment, and lab experimentation in the classroom.
Students can watch the lecture as many times as they need; they can talk about
it with their friends; they have it saved for later….
Teachers can spend more time helping students do “traditional” practice and
have more time for collaborative activities during the school day.

6. What is Flipping II

7. Benefits of Flipping
1. Students have you right there when they need help applying the concepts
you teach. This helps avoid student frustration and “giving up.”
2. It helps align the classroom with Common Core:
Flipping changes the focus from covering concepts to mastering
concepts
Flipping allows more time in class for collaboration
Flipping helps you differentiate instruction based on who understood
the
concept from the night before.
Flipping generates more time to develop critical and creative
thinking.
Flipping lowers opportunities to cheat on homework and “sit

8. A Teacher’s Take on Flipping:

9. How to Flip with Google Apps
1. Decide which lesson you would like to flip.
2. Create your own video lesson (more on this in a moment) or use someone else’s
(more on this too) and embed in a Presentation.
3. Use Forms to embed a video for students to watch and create a survey for students
to fill out after watching. Find out before class who understands the material and
who needs help.
4. Use Docs to provide written explanations or practice problems that students can use
for notes, questions, and review while watching your lectures.

There are amazing videos already out there. Use them!

Create a Google form that the parents complete with the student or about the
student’s experience with the videos from that week.

15. Flipping Levels:
1. Mini-flip: Choose someone else’s video and embed
in a Form.
2. Front full flip: Create your own video lesson and present it in a
Presentation that you share with your students.
3. Back flip: Flip one lesson per week and attach
higher-order
thinking questions, then survey kids after each flip
about how to improve videos.
4. Belly flop: Not trying anything new. Ever.

16. Alleviating Fears of Flipping
1. Don’t worry about flipping every lesson. Just try a few!
2. Use others to help: use collaboration days to make a few together.
Share with each other on Drive!
3. Get kids involved! Use flipping as a teaching tool: record kids teaching
other kids a specific concept and save it in Drive for others’ to view for
review.
4. What do I do with all this extra time in the classroom now?!
Student projects, class discussions, apply concepts to the real world…
5. Ask us for help anytime!
