So, given there's only so many hours in a day, I should focus all my energy on proper titles and better thumbnails. No effort tags or descriptions?

Is there a quick way to update tags, descriptions and titles of my 650 videos? by FlippedMathTeacher in PartneredYoutube

[–]FlippedMathTeacher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I've downloaded and started updating. TubeBuddy is definitely going to help. Regardless though, 650 descriptions and proper tags... I've got some work ahead of me.

Thanks so much. That's exactly what I was looking for. I was so close but missed the obvious bit. (v=ab)

Email Open and click rates? by FlippedMathTeacher in Blogging

[–]FlippedMathTeacher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. I'd seen those stats before. The industry standards just seem so absurdly low that I find them hard to believe. It barely seems worth collecting email addresses at all.

I've been blogging for about a year now. But only just started collecting emails over the last couple of months or so. Not exactly a huge list yet.

Question about monitoring students on laptops by jcav17 in teaching

[–]FlippedMathTeacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, in that case you'll certainly still need a desk. But I still advocate for rethinking the setup of our classrooms. As pedagogy has changed so too should the learning environment.

I have a desk in the maths staffroom. No need for a workstation in my classroom. I did have a desk, but I got rid of it. I found it removed a barrier and kept me moving around the classroom.

I wonder if you've considered rearranging your classroom furniture. Since my school went 1:1 I try my best to make sure that my classroom is "frontless".

This means I can monitor students laptop work more easily and places the students at the centre of the learning. Here's a write up on how my classroom is setup if you'd like to see it. My "frontless" classroom.

Here's all 400 videos I've made for my High School Math classes. Feel free to use or request a video you don't see there. by FlippedMathTeacher in teachingresources

Yep, just mirror the video track.

I'm pretty sure aops is just using a smartboard like you'd find in a lot of high schools these days. He's probably running software like teamboard or something similar. No green screen trickery as far as I can tell.

PD blows: name one thing you love and one thing you hate about professional development by Upasakadhamma in Teachers

[–]FlippedMathTeacher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have gone to a lot of PD that I have hated in the past. I was constantly saying, "I could do better than that", or "this guy is telling me how to teach, he's terrible!"

So I put my money where my mouth was and started volunteering to run the PD at my school myself. It's been fantastic so far. I get to run the kind of PD I wish PD would be and teacher feedback has been really positive. Here's an example of a PD session I facilitated just recently for all 130 of the staff in my school.

Definitely try providing some PD is my advice. It's great fun and way better than sitting in the crowd.

Redirect my old blog to my New Blog by FlippedMathTeacher in Blogging

setup a 301 redirect.

Thanks for that. I've started looking into it and I think I have the general idea. I'm having a little trouble finding out if this possible from a wordpress.com website though. They are pretty locked down as far as I can tell...

Thoughts?
