Flipping the class! Part 2: It is time to film it!


Hello!
It is time to get back on track with or flipped-classroom porject! We, Teacher Tubers, had done our storyboard and completed our script as it is shown in the previous post. Thata was the moment to star filming our clip. The most fun part. For this, we needed a chroma. A chroma is a green or blue background that is used in the audiovisual to replace the background with the image that we want. To do this, we were to the Instituto Nacional de Tecnologías Educativas y Formación del Profesorado, INTEF, where the Future Classroom Lab is and there is chroma in the classroom. 

There our recorder Jaime  used a gimbal to stabilize the video and a condenser microphone to improve the sound quality. Beatriz was in charge of editing the video afterwards and helping  Jaime  to record everything while me with our partners Alba and Ramón  acted in fron of the camera. Actually Alba could not attend to the Future Classroom Lab so she did her part filming himself and call us via skype so she can give some advise and help us during de creatinon cof the clip.
It was a great experience for all of us!
During all this long afternoon I tweeted some pictures of the process of filming:






Here you have the final result.


This video has been recorded for students of 5th grade of Primary Education. We are work with it in the subject "Values". Our students should find out about the rest of Children's rights after watching the video.
We chose the rights of the people because we think it is a complex issue but all students should know, through this video we seek to achieve the following objectives:

Objectives
  • To know Children's rights. 
  • To know we all have the same basic rights, but not everyone enjoys them equally. 
  • To respect opinions and evaluations of the rest of the classmates.
  • To work cooperatively. 
  • To use ICTs.
Flip teaching offers students more freedom to do some research and therefore to learn how to do that research a filter the vast information we all have at the reach of our fingers nowadays. Besides, it gives the central role to the students the most important elements of their learning process. Videos are very visual for our students and they feel more motivated. Furthermore, they are learning in an inductive way, what helps them learning.

Personally, this task was the mos fun of all up to this moment. Gruop work is always an enriching activity since it makes you see things with differents scoopes and therefore it it widens your horizons  by learning from equals. Sometimes, teamwork migth be difficult but I think that my peers and me have worked perfectly and solved all the problems that we found . It has been a pleasure work with them. Furthermore, as I visual learner, i think these would really help students to learn about the topic we chose. I had never done a project like this before but I mus say it has been a great opportunity (though it was challenging) to improve and develop my teaching skills, I think that I am going to apply the flipped classroom on some of my lessons.
