6 Apps and Tools to Flip Your Classroom

Flipping the classroom is an amazing way to engage students in learning. Students in my elementary school have been part of the flipped classroom and have taken an active role by providing the video lessons themselves. There are many iPad apps and tools that have supported our flipping efforts. Here are some apps and tools that we have used that can help you flip your class.

1. EDpuzzle

Our new favorite tool to flip the classroom at Weston School.  EDpuzzle offers teachers an easy platform to create and manage video lessons.Teachers can even create individualized video lessons for students to foster differentiated instruction. 

2. Edmodo

A great way for students to collaborate on assignments, share resources, and much more!

3. Explain Everything

Explain Everything is an interactive tool that allows students to and teachers to create slides, draw in any color, add shapes, add text, and use a laser pointer. Slides created can be shared/exported.
