Looking for another flipped video activity? Check out my Stoplight Assignment!
This is a Google Doc, so it can be easily embedded into your class website, sent to your students assignment folders using Doctopus, or simply shared with your students.
The first section of the Stoplight Activity provides the students with note-taking space. If you’d like to adjust the space available, or add a skeletal outline (which I probably will) please feel free to do so. Teachers will most likely establish some sort of parameters in the note-taking section for students, in order to determine whether or not they ACTUALLY watched the video.
Next is the post-video section. Here, students are required to rephrase or summarize information that was discussed in the video…in their own words. Students are also asked to record a question that they still have after watching the video, or a “take-a-way” from the video if they feel they have fully grasped the concept.
In the final section, the “Stoplight” chart requires students to evaluate their knowledge of the concept discussed in the video. “Red” indicates that the student feels lost or needs more help, “Yellow” indicates that students almost understand the concept, and “Green” indicates students feel confident about the subject, and feel comfortable teaching their peers.
I’ll use this as a way to hold students accountable for watching flipped videos. Students will complete this activity during and after they watch the video. In class, all students will complete a brief opening activity, and will then be placed in cooperative groups to discuss the video. Each group will include at least one “Green” student, with “Red” and “Yellow” students…to encourage scaffolding.
Judging by my last few posts, I think I may be on a flipped classroom kick!
Check out the activity, make a copy of it, share it with your colleagues and students! It’s FREE! Please keep the “Teaching with Technology. 2014” in the footer, though 🙂
Thanks for reading 🙂
