This is year 3 of the flipped math class and I am starting to incorporate more flipped aspects to my history classes.
I love google forms. One of the things I have struggled with is how to make sure that the students watch the videos. Google forms is the answer to that question. It takes a bit of time to set up a Google form for each video but it is going to be worth it. I added a section to my website entitled Tonight's Video. Now when students go to my website there will hopefully be no confusion over what video to watch. After watching the video there is a form directly below it for the students to fill out.
My students are getting used to using the Google form and need to make sure to hit the submit button at the end. I had 16 of 18 of my math students submit the form through correctly after showing them how to do access it in class. It seems like they really will follow through more consistently with the form feedback coming to me.
In my World History and Non-Western Culture classes I decided to have the students preview the chapter before they start to read it. I have included the PowerPoint video summary of the topic for the students to watch. They then will again fill out the form at the bottom. The form a a bit more generic than the math one and asks the following: what were three things you learned, what were two things you found that were interesting, and what is one question that you have on the top.
I can't wait for the feedback from the kids. Hopefully it will really help them preview the info even before they need to start doing the reading.
