Push my thinking

Is this actually a more effective form of instructing students? What can I do to encourage students to take the responsibility to view the screencasts independently? How can I support students when the screencasts don’t provide clarity? What activities would be valuable and exciting to enhance understanding of the content being covered in the screencast?

Problem of practice

How can I make my classroom less teacher centered and allow for students to learn and explore history more independently?

Solution

Use screencasts and a class website to create a flipped classroom where instruction of content is completed outside of the classroom and class time is used for more engaging activities and skill building.
