Good design is everywhere: on websites, in objects you use in your home, the car you drive every day. But often, design is missing from the modern classroom, and we think that’s a big mistake. Educators have a lot to learn from the principles of design, bringing strategic thought and creativity to today’s classrooms. Well-designed classrooms and educational plans can have a positive impact on educational outcomes, and it all starts with educators. Read on to find out about the 25 design principles that we think are important for educators to use and understand.
UNITY In design, unity is all about bringing elements together, making sure that no one part is more important than the whole design. Finding balance and unity in your classroom is similarly essential. Thinking about how all of your lessons and educational tasks come together is a great way to find balance and unity in your classroom.
Troubles apprentissage. Flip that Class! Adventures in the inverted classroom by Robert Talbert on Prezi. La pédagogie inversée. (page précédente) La ZoneTIC du Cégep Lévis-Lauzon décrit la « pédagogie inversée » (ou classe renversée, flipteaching, reverse instruction) comme ceci : une stratégie d’enseignement où la partie magistrale du cours est donnée à faire en devoir à la maison, alors que les traditionnels devoirs (travaux, problèmes et autres activités) sont réalisés en classe.
Quel est l’intérêt? Lorsque les élèves appliquent ce qu’ils ont appris à l’école en faisant leurs devoirs à la maison, ils rencontrent parfois des difficultés et des questionnements qu’ils ne rapportent pas toujours à l’école le lendemain. De plus, la collaboration entre pairs n’est pas toujours facile à cause des horaires de chacun. Les adeptes de la pédagogie inversée préfèrent donc que les élèves utilisent le temps de classe pour construire, collaborer, lancer des défis, remettre en question leurs apprentissages plutôt que de s’asseoir et écouter.

My colleagues have this week; it’s PSSA week in Pennsylvania (PSSAs are standardized tests.). That’s not the flipped I meant, however. I meant, have you flipped your classroom yet? Well, if you have or are thinking about it, here are some tools you might want to consider using for those after-hours background knowledge sessions. YouTube This might be the most popular tool teachers have used for flipped instruction. You don’t have to establish a class list to allow for student discussion.

Edmodo Schoology. Mobile Learning and the Inverted Classroom (#EDUSprint) :: Agile Learning. Number four on my list of five types of mobile learning is the use of mobile devices (smart phones, tablets, and such) as platforms for delivery course content. Frankly, I find that educational technology people often focus too much on this type of mobile learning, and I’ve argued that mobile learning involves much more than just content delivery.
So as I continue my #EDUSprint blog series on mobile learning, I’m hesitant to give too much attention to “mobile learning type 4.” However, I think I’ve got an angle on this topic that will add something useful to the conversation… I first heard about what some call the inverted classroom from Harvard physics professor Eric Mazur. He’s the one who coined the term peer instruction to describe a certain kind of in-class small group work that involves having students discuss and answer clicker questions. Mazur’s approach made a lot of sense to me, and I’ve been using it in my math courses for years now. What about you? Mobile Learning and the Inverted Classroom (#EDUSprint) :: Agile Learning.
