 * Traditional Flip Strategies: Creating Videos to Replace Direct Instruction**

Video a lecture or concept normally given in class; allow students to practice concept in class the next day. As you discover more strategies, share them with colleagues in your PLN. For more abstract subjects like English, “flipped” homework might not even be a video- it might be a web article, podcast, Google Form, discussion, creation of a student blog, etc.
 * 1) Check to see what they’ll be tested on and put that on video. This strategy is useful because the information you are trying to convey is simple and basic. It is also useful because students can use it as test prep or just to review a concept they are stuck on.
 * 2) Video the concepts you find yourself repeating over and over and over and over. Teach it once in class and then students can QR code the video to review.
 * 3) If you generally show a video clip in class, show it as homework instead.
 * 4) Video the introductory stuff- the directions/instructions that take 10 minutes of class time before students roll in to an assignment. If teaching how to write an introductory paragraph, assign the instruction as homework and allow students the entire period to practice the paragraph.
