Handouts. ED TECH COACHING: Fixing the Flipped Classroom: @EDpuzzle. About a week and a half ago, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Quim (pronounced ‘kim’) Sabriá, one of the cofounders of EdPuzzle. His company is currently going through the startup accelerator ImagineK12, and he wanted to receive some additional feedback on his product. I was actually really impressed with their work, because I think it solves a lot of the problems that are inherent with using videos in the classroom. Flipped classrooms too often end up a digitized version of the lecture-driven classroom model, and information delivery becomes impersonal and passive. In fact, it was that frustration with flipped classrooms that drove Quim and his cofounders (Santi, Jordi and Xavi) to create EdPuzzle. #1 - EdPuzzle makes video lectures personal. Quim used to teach in Spain, and decided to flip his classroom for his students.
Because of that, EdPuzzle gives you the ability to remix current YouTube videos with your own voice, or insert audio notes. Images from edpuzzle.com. How to Create Stop Motion Videos With JellyCam.

The Universal Shapes of Stories, According to Kurt Vonnegut. Framing The Story : TED Radio Hour. Scene-Creation Workshop — Writing Scenes that Move Your Story Forward. As the atom is the smallest discrete unit of matter, so the scene is the smallest discrete unit in fiction; it is the smallest bit of fiction that contains the essential elements of story.
You don’t build a story or a book of words and sentences and paragraphs — you build it of scenes, one piled on top of the next, each changing something that came before, all of them moving the story inexorably and relentlessly forward. You can, of course, break the scene up into its component pieces — words, sentences, and paragraphs — but only the scene contains the vital wholeness that makes it, like an atom of gold, a building block of your fiction. It contains the single element that gives your story life, movement, and excitement. Without this one element, you don’t have a scene, you merely have a vignette. So what is this magical element that gives your scene its life and makes it the brick with which you build your fiction? Change. When is a scene a scene? Okay. Now it’s your turn. Okay. Back? Grammar and the Common Core. I hear the same two comments at English-language arts conferences all the time: 1. “I’ve heard that research has proven grammar, usage, mechanics, spelling, and vocabulary instruction doesn’t work.” 2.
“I teach grammar and they seem to get it. They pass my tests and do okay on the standardized tests, but they don’t transfer the learning to their writing or speaking. And they just don’t retain what we’ve covered. Their next-year teacher always asks why I don’t teach grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling.” So, should we bother teaching grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling? Some would say “No.” Irrespective of the research into the effectiveness of explicit grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling instruction, the writers of the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS) certainly affirm the need for instruction in these skill and content areas.
Professionally.” Experiment with different approaches until you find the ones that work the best for you and your students. What Works 1. 2. 3. 4. Using Google Docs for Rubrics. At last year’s annual MassCUE conference, I went to a session presented by Katrina Kennett (@katrinakennett). Her presentation focused on how to use Google Docs to create rubrics, and she outlines the process in this video: She further explains her process and goals in this blog post.
I was energized by the presentation and immediately implemented Google Spreadsheets to create my own rubrics. You can create self-grading rubrics if you like, or you can create rubrics that tally the number of rubric points and convert it to a grade. The first might save a little time, but the second allows you more control over the final grade. I had a little trouble figuring out what formula to use to convert total rubric points to grade. What I can’t seem to do with my rubric is determine what formula to put in one of the cells that will convert, say, 25 points to a 90 on an essay. I am sharing a link to a Google rubric I have created combining Katrina’s method with the Greece Schools’ rubric.
