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.




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.

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





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.





ShowMe allows users to create voice-over whiteboard tutorials and share them online.Very simple to use.


Students/teachers can record their voice and iPad screen to create video lessons. There are many platforms that the lessons can be shared through. 




ScreenChomp allows students/teachers to provide a running narrative. ScreenChomp records your voice and drawing and then allows you to upload your creation to ScreenChomp.com and share via different platforms.ScreenChomp also allows you to make annotations on an image or photo in much the same way you will on the whiteboard.
