Part of teaching the Daily 5 has been creating a short video series for teachers to use in their class, or for students to view. I have made these files available for all, and I use them in my class all the time. It provides opportunity for flipped learning, but also for students to go back and re-watch in their own time. It also gives me as the teacher a short break to get things sorted, while the students are still learning from me; just in video format.
