As teachers begin to “flip” lessons they usually start by simply filming their lecture and then posting the content online. The students watch the lecture at night and come prepared to work on content the next day.

Ted Ed allows you to enhance your “flipped” videos by adding assessment/comprehension questions, discussion starters, or even further discovery, all tied to your video. Ted Ed is simple to use. Once you register for an account at ed.ted.com, you can search for a video. This means you will first need to make sure that you have your lecture video uploaded to youtube. Once you find your video, simply click on “flip this video”.

You can now add questions and discussion topics in a lesson tied around your original video. Another way to enhance your “flipped” classroom.
