Comment by Jon Freer on October 26, 2012 at 12:29pm: Thanks Jon

Comment by Jonathan Bergmann on October 26, 2012 at 6:45am: Jon. The folks at TED ED approached us about helping them think through what all of TED ED would look like. This was their idea. I supplied the script and the narration. They hired professional animators to make this happen. You too can submit a lesson to them for review and they might choose to animate it. Go to Ed.ted.com to learn more.

Comment by Jon Freer on October 25, 2012 at 4:10pm: Unbelievable. I am really impressed. I remember a video of you and Aaron running around with pretend lightsabers to grab attention. Now you are here. I hope my pace of learning is that fast. Can I ask about the production of this video? I see that you had help for animation. Any tips to take videos up a notch?

Again, major kudos!

Jon

Comment by Ken Wong on July 23, 2012 at 4:47am: Oh, looks good and nice narration too. I'm passing it onto my science colleagues here at school. My copy of your book arrived on the weekend, clear and easy to follow, thanks heaps! Still lots to think about as well.
cheers!

Comment by Jonathan Bergmann on July 22, 2012 at 4:51am: No, the animation was done by the folks at Ted. Ted.com. I wrote the script and did the narration.

Comment by Ken Wong on July 22, 2012 at 1:57am: THats great Jonathan! Did you guys do the animation as well? I wish I did science at school.

Comment by Kris Bergmann on July 11, 2012 at 7:31am: April: why dont you send me an email and I can send you an example packet. (jon@flippedclass.com) And in answer to your question about copying them: Yes you may. To have them play on a TV you will need to use a dvd authoring tool like Nero, but it will work fine.

Comment by April Holemo on July 10, 2012 at 10:45pm: Hello,

It is me again! I am considering buying your 1st year Chem DVD package. I am a newer teacher to Chemistry and have a 16 month-old son, so these would help me out a bunch! Do you have a unit packet I can review before I purchase the DVDs? I want to make sure they will work for my classes. Also, I noticed on the website it says they are data DVDs. Would I be able to save them to a disc for students who need to play them on their tv? Thank you so much!

Comment by Loyce Brown on July 9, 2012 at 10:28am: I just did. Thank you for the advise. :-)

Comment by Jonathan Bergmann on July 9, 2012 at 10:17am: not off the top of my head. Why don't you post this in the middle school science forum and see what they say.
