Flipping & Beyond

What Is The Flipped Classroom?

“Flipping” a classroom alters when and where educational activities take place.

The traditional format in many classrooms is for students to be exposed to content in the classroom (e.g., through a lecture from you) and then to apply that knowledge through homework assignments completed outside of class.

The flipped model of classroom learning involves the students being exposed to the content knowledge on their own, outside of class, and then coming to class to apply that knowledge with help from you and their peers.

Begin With Setting Goals!

Choose a unit or lesson in which you feel you could develop online materials for relatively quickly(existing WordDocuments,PDF’s,Lectures on Video).

Choose a platform or webpage in which students could access the resources and then assess knowledge either in the classroom or out.

It is important that you stay flexible and also ask students to share their experience.

Consider Your Audience and Prepare for them…..

They want short concise presentations/lectures/videos? What classroom content do you have that fits this?

Assess them regularly. Make students accountable for outside of school work.

Create a portal or web based environment for 24 hour access to classroom material.

Keep it Simple For Yourself!

Select technology tools you feel comfortable with.

Build upon your strengths.

No teacher will ever use all the tools they are introduced to.

Give yourself time to find the right mix of tools and measure your results.

Finding A Match

Based on results add to the lesson or try a different one(improve procedure).

more than one they can be found sequentially) Audio Included(clear audio, music, narration, step by step, critique) Concise(introduce objectives, closes with next steps and concludes

learning)

Assessment Measurable feedback(likert scales, true/false, web based) Engaging Classroom Discussion Timing is critical(Get students to respond in timely, meaningful ways) Save Assimilation of Projects & Deeper Application Of Knowledge For

The Classroom Discussion (Your chance to be the guide on the side).

Formative & Summative Web Based Assessment Of Learning In and Out of the classroom

Integrate technology skills into rubrics(Formative).
