Hi everyone,
I apologize as I forgot to add an image to my introductory post.
I think as this week was back-to-school week and many of my students were adjusting to the routines of our school day again, a short instructional video helping my students open their 3 digit locks for the first time is most appropriate.
This may take many of you back to your school days… Ok two full turns to the right… Now to the left past the first number… Uh oh… Start again.

Hi Alex, that’s great of you to make a video for your middle schoolers! They now know your combo 😉 Do you host your videos on a particular site/blog/wiki or do you just publicize your channel to your students? Not knowing your audience, I’m wondering if the four and a half minutes is a little on the long side?
Hey Nicola! I’m hosting all of my videos through weebly. allthingslemon.weebly.com
I’m using youtube capture to create videos and educreations to create Khan Academy style videos of my own as well.
This is my first attempt at flipping the classroom and so I’m going to learn by watching what students find useful and not so useful. If the video is not helpful (too long) I will take it down and replace with something that is hopefully more useful! So far this has worked for my students. A few that are not quite ready for a 3 digit lock are using a 1 digit lock instead – no video required (and it would be way to long for them anyway).
Thanks for your comment :0)
