Flipping the Classroom screencast

I am interested in learning more about flipping the classroom!  First, I would love to observe it in action in order to wrap my head around the idea.  I like how I could serve as a coach rather than a lecturer.  I feel, though, that it would take a lot of communication with students and parents to implement such a task and to have them on board, but I think it could be really cool! 

This screencast addresses possessive pronouns.  My third graders will be learning about possessive pronouns in grammar next week.  Here is the link for my lesson:

Because not all of my students have access to the Internet at home, I plan to show this screencast at the end of a grammar lesson the day before our lesson on possessive pronouns.  It will set them up for the lesson the next day. 

I can see how beneficial it would be for students to watch these lessons at home so they come ready to practice the skill at school.  But I have more questions on how to flip a classroom when not every child has the opportunity to view it at home.  Any suggestions?

  1. I would also like to see a flipped classroom in action and talk to someone who has done it. I agree that it would take a lot of communication and I wonder how parents would feel about it.

  2. I love your educreations video! I also teach possessive pronouns so I may share your video with my students if you don't mind. I think that is the power of screencasts - they are easy to share! Thanks!
