How to make a flipped classroom lesson in 10 minutes or less!
START THE CLOCK!
Step one: Create a Google Form using your Google Apps account.
(It's under the 'More' tab menu)
2. Set your quiz settings.
Give your quiz a name. Setting your quiz to show a progress bar is helpful for kids to see how much they've finished, and if they've forgotten something. You can also shuffle the question order - but I don't recommend doing it. I prefer to have certain questions and add-ons in certain places and shuffling the order shuffles everything.
Include a question for kids to write their name! If you're using Google Apps for Education through your school, you can set it to make them log in and record their username. But our GAFE usernames are a bunch of numbers. Adding a space for them to write their name saves me some time and headaches later on.
3. Insert a video of your lesson content.
Click insert and insert your video. Google Forms lets you search right from inside Google Forms for a video from YouTube. There's not much flexibility in terms of video services you can use, so I recommend adding it to YouTube and setting your video to as unlisted if you don't want it accessible to the public (anyone with the link can see it, but it can't be searched for).
4. Start making questions for your students! Below is a breakdown of each question type and what you can use it for.
Text question type: Students input their own answers. Good for single word, single sentence, or short number answers.
Include some "accountability questions" - some questions just to ensure they watched the video!
Paragraph Type Questions: Students use these for longer responses and written explanations.
These questions are great for the extended responses where you want students to explain their thinking, or explain their thinking on a previous question.
Grid type questions: Students select many characteristics of an item.
Incorporating different types of questions like this really encourages some higher level thinking beyond just the multiple choice questions.
Checkbox questions: Students select more than one choice that correctly answers a question.
Choose from a list: Students select a single answer from a selection of answers.
A really simple way to create fill in the blank type questions for your students to test them on vocabulary. Your answer choices can be single words, numbers, or entire sentences.
Multiple Choice: Students select one answer in your typical multiple choice fashion.
Students select one answer in the typical multiple choice fashion. This is how they'll see most questions on standardized tests, so good to get that practice in early!
Section Headers and Page Breaks: A way to organize and separate questions for students.
This is an easy thing to do when you have questions that require specific directions. Also helps the students pace out their own work and monitor their progress.
Google Forms is an easy way to create a flipped lesson that allows you to collect answers and track student progress. There's also extensions and add-ons out there to help you create more enhanced lessons on Google Forms.
Enjoy! Happy Turkey Day!
