Sophia

When I first started looking at "flipping", one of the first things I decided was where to "house" all the videos.  I wanted my students to go to ONE location to watch the video AND I wanted a way to hold them accountable.  I looked at Edmodo, just using a YouTube channel, my teacher website, iTunesU, and Sophia.  Sophia.org seemed to have EVERYTHING that I wanted and it was VERY user friendly.  I still created a YouTube channel and that is where I upload all my videos to.  Then I create a tutorial on Sophia where I can embed a video, and a google form, AND a quiz if I want to.   Sophia also has a "group summary" section where I can get the stats for each student on how long and how often they have logged onto the site and how long and which tutorials they did each day or which week.  This is great for parent conferences!  I also use the google form to decide how I will start class the next day.  I ask students what they understood the most and what they are still confused about.  I take the first 5 minutes of each class clearing up any confusion from the video.  Here is a link to one of my Sophia tutorials...

I also put in my class procedures that if they don't submit the google form to me before class the next day then they lose 30 points on their assignment!  That is our school policy anyway.  If they turn in a homework assignment late then it starts at a 70.

Since I have been "flipping" for a few months now, I really want to explore a mastery grading system.
