Creating our videos to flipped the classroom! (II)

Hello again!

Do you want to see the final result of our video? I am eager to show you but, before that, I want to tell you how we have done it and why.

As I told in the last post, we are going to use this video to a flipped classroom session based on the Roman Legacy in Spain for our fourth graders in Social Science subject.

The objectives of the project are:

• to help them understand what Roman Empire did in Spain.
• to motivate them in class.
• to make them work at home in a funny way.

So, this methodology is useful to make the lessons more active and participative and the homework less boring.  Then, the video is the core of the methodology and the lessons, since all the activities are based on it.

You can remind the video project (how the sessions are and what for) clicking here:

So, once having prepared all the details to record the video, we went to the "Aula de futuro" in the Minister of Education.

There, there was a green chroma in which we could record our video with costumes of Romans.
After that, we use iMovie programme to edit the video. With this programme, we could cut it, add the background image, music and make it beautiful. You can also use other programmes such as:

• Powtoon
• Screencast O-matic

So, the final result is this, finally, I show you the video!!

As a reflection, I am so proud of the work that my team has done and I can't be happier because, at last, I have learnt how to do a flipped classroom by myself! I am so sure that I will use this video technic in my teaching life as soon as possible, since it is extremely useful to practice speaking skills, which is one of the most important skills to be developed.

I hope you have enjoyed this post as much as I do!
Regards!!
