Flipped Classroom Content Creation

⚠️ Problem:
      To enable a flipped-classroom model, teachers need a robust, accessible video library that teaches academic vocabulary and concepts. While resources like Khan Academy exist, there were limited NGSS-aligned videos for middle school science, leaving a gap for rigorous, grade-level content.

✅ Solution:
    Developed a full video library of 5–15 minute instructional videos that teach vocabulary, concepts, and experiment procedures. 

Key features:

• Videos explaining science concepts, experiment procedures, and results, enabling asynchronous learning.

• Guided notes and graphic organizers to support students of all learning needs, including IEPs and 504 accommodations.

• Embedded simulations, GIFs, and multimedia to enhance engagement and concept retention.

• Posted content to YouTube and integrated into a classroom website for accessible, flexible learning.

🛠️ Role & Tools

• Sole creator of over 250 videos, conducting research, condensing content, and designing guided notes.

• Tools used: Apple Pencil, Screencapture tools, Notability, YouTube, classroom website integration.

• Edited and formatted videos for engagement, accessibility, and scalability.

• Leveraged digital trends and student-centered design to increase attention and retention.
  
  

📈 Impact

• Student engagement improved by 80%, with students actively referencing video content and class catchphrases (“Wassup SciFam”) daily.

• Most popular video shared in thousands of classrooms globally, amassing 60,000+ views.

• Videos supported asynchronous learning, improving equity and accessibility for all students.

• Content reused year-to-year and continues to be used in classrooms across the U.S.
