Flipped Classroom: Beyond the Videos

Flipped Classroom: Beyond the Videos
Last week, I read an interesting blog post by Shelley Blake-Plock titled “The Problem with TED ed.” It got me thinking about the flipped classroom model and how it is being defined. As a blended learning enthusiast, I have played with the flipped classroom model, seen presentations by inspiring educators who flip their classrooms, and even have a chapter dedicated to this topic in my book. However, I am disheartened to hear so many people describe the flipped classroom as a model where teachers must record videos or podcasts for students to view at home. There are many teachers who do not want to record videos either because they don’t have the necessary skills or equipment, their classes don’t include a lot of lecture that can be captured in recordings, or they are camera shy. Too often the conversation surrounding the flipped classroom focuses on the videos- creating them, hosting them, and assessing student understanding of the content via simple questions or summary assignments. 1. 2.

CLISE2016Moncton, Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada by Annick Arsenault Carter on Prezi Flipped Classroom: 5 Strategies to Flip & Engage My blog “Flipped Classroom: Beyond the Videos” explored both my excitement and concerns around the flipped classroom model. Several comments and questions posted in response to that blog post asked about the strategies I use to engage students in active learning online. I want to share some of the strategies I use for engaging students around flipped content to: Stimulate higher-order thinking.Transition homework from a solitary practice to a collaborative experience.Create transparency for teachers, so they can identify what students understand, where they are struggling and what questions they have.Begin work in class at a deeper level.Cultivate a learning community online to complement face-to-face work. 1. An increasing number of teachers have their own websites where they make resources available to students. 2. In class reading assignments tend to be fraught with anxiety as students worry about having to read aloud. 3. 4. 5. Please share any comments or questions you have!

A Flipped Classroom and Flipped Learning Primer – Flipped Learning Network Hub FlipCon 2016 is this week in Allen, Texas and while nearly all of the experts, pioneers, and authors of the #flipclass movement will be there, one goal of FlipCon is to share the joys of the flip with the uninitiated or those just starting out. There are lots great books, blogs, and websites where you can learn about flipped learning (like the one you’re on right now!), but here is a short primer and set of examples that might help clarify some of the purposes, terms, and potential methods of flipping to teachers and administrators new to flip: To be clear, the flipped method of teaching is a broad spectrum, from basic flipped classroom, to flipped mastery, to gamification, and beyond. Simply stated the flipped classroom is school work at home and home work at school. Following are a few examples, from a nearly infinite spectrum, of how the flipped classroom and flipped learning can work Very Short Example:

Infographic Flipped Classroom » Education Journey There is been a lot of interest in the flipped classroom since it started 5 years ago. Unfortunately there seems to be quite a bit of mis-information and mis-understanding about the Flipped Classroom. There is also quite a bit of controversy about whether or not this is a viable instructional methodology. Thus the purpose of this infographic is to simply explain what I believe the Flipped Classroom it is. This infographic I created below, is meant for teachers and parentswho are new to this methodology. Created by Sanne Bloemarts in easel.ly My thoughts of Flipped Classroom While researching about the Flipped Classroom, my first reaction was, “this is not for kindergarteners!” For my videos, I began thinking about modeling my lesson after this one, focusing on a letter of the alphabet each week (which matches our reading series). FYI (a Flipped Classroom) Below are a bunch of resources that may be helpful if you would like to find out more about this new way of teaching and learning!

Managing In-Class Learning Experiences in Flipped Classrooms In this ongoing series focused on flipped and active-learning classrooms, we’re taking a deeper look into how to create successful learning experiences for students. We’ve examined how to encourage students to complete pre-class work, how to hold students accountable for pre-class work, and how to connect pre-class work to in-class activities. Now let’s focus on the challenge of managing the in-person learning environment. By design, flipped classrooms and active-learning environments are dynamic. There are so many moving pieces. This “messy” type of learning environment can be challenging for both students and faculty. When you think about flipping a lesson or a class, you must, on some level, embrace the messiness of a dynamic learning environment. Create a system to organize the paperwork. At the beginning of every class, the first member of the group to arrive picks up the folder, takes it to the group, and distributes the paperwork. Develop ways to focus your energy.

Présentation | Classe Inversée Ce site a pour but d’expliquer le concept de classe inversée à tous les professeurs qui souhaitent avoir un réel impact auprès de leurs élèves et qui veulent connaitre les meilleures méthodes pour développer une ambiance de classe motivante et décontractée. Exemple de classe inversée Ce concept connait un succès grandissant : de plus en plus de professeurs à travers le monde modifient leur façon de “faire la classe” pour passer à un modèle plus pratique et plus humain. Ce modèle part d’une idée très simple : le précieux temps de classe serait mieux utilisé si on s’en servait pour interagir et travailler ensemble plutôt que de laisser une seule personne parler. La classe inversée : plus qu’une méthode, une philosophie Professeur guidant un groupe de travail Il s’agit donc davantage d’une philosophie que d’une méthode à proprement parler. Un modèle plus humain Les interactions deviennent plus conviviales Les avantages de ce modèle sont multiples, mais le principal est la liberté qu’il procure.

Flipped Classroom Successes in Higher Education Last year I took my advocacy of the flipped classroom ‘on tour’ with presentations at colleges and conferences across the U.S. I also developed and delivered an online workshop about how to get started with ‘the flip’, which seemed to be a great learning experience for all involved (including me!). I believe that this is one of the most powerful approaches to leveraging technology in an instructional context to come along since the world started “going digital”. This year I will continue this focus, with an expanded online work shop (to be offered several times over the year) and an ebook on the topic that I hope to publish by March. Today I kick off the new year by sharing a number of stories about higher education institutions and professors leveraging this technology successfully.

L'Agence nationale des Usages des TICE - Une classe inversée à l’ère du numérique Martial Gavaland, professeur de sciences physiques, pratique la classe inversée avec sa classe de Terminale du Lycée La Colinière de Nantes. L'origine du projet La naissance du projet provient d’une question récurrente : comment rendre efficace le travail personnel de chaque élève ? Ce constat m’est apparu devant le faible taux de réussite sur des exercices d’application à la maison. Il s’agit de passer d’une pédagogie de l’application à une pédagogie de l’implication. L’outil numérique, démocratisé, accessible, est un facilitateur de cette pédagogie dite de la classe inversée. Le déroulement de l'activité Idée générale : combiner une pédagogie de classe inversée en s’appuyant sur les outils numériques. Les aspects techniques 95 % des élèves disposent d’une connexion internet personnel, 90 % de smartphones. Les apports du numérique Les compétences mises en œuvre S’informer : trier les informations, extraire, synthétiser, choisir. Martial Gavaland

The Flipped Classroom: Pro and Con I recently attended the ISTE conference in San Diego, CA. While I was only there for about 36 hours, it was easy for me to pick up on one of the hottest topics for the three-day event. The "flipped classroom" was being discussed in social lounges, in conference sessions, on the exhibit floor, on the hashtag and even at dinner. What It Is According to the description on ASCD's page for the newly released book, Flip Your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class Every Day, by flipped classroom pioneers Aaron Sams and Jonathan Bergmann, "In this model of instruction, students watch recorded lectures for homework and complete their assignments, labs, and tests in class." The authors go on to explain that the model is a mixture of direct instruction and constructivism, that it makes it easier for students who may have missed class to keep up because they can watch the videos at any time. What It Isn't Why It Works Why It Doesn't Work Why It's Nothing New Why It Matters

10 keys to success in blended learning Today’s post is by Julie Daniel Davis, an instructional technologist from Chattanooga, Tenn. She presented recently on blended learning in the math classroom at the Tennessee Education Technology Convention to a packed room. This is a summary of that presentation. In our eighth-grade math prototype and our elementary math programs, I’ve watched teachers as they adapt to blended learning. For many of them, the idea isn’t a strange one, and it has provided some unexpected surprises (both good and bad). Jumping from a traditional learning environment to blended learning takes work and planning. Elementary teachers have seen the value of centers for a long time. Here are 10 lessons I’ve learned as an instructional technologist about blended learning. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. While the students may not know exactly what to expect in each rotation, they do have a basic idea of what that rotation will entail each day. 8. 9. 10. Blended learning doesn’t just happen.

5 Digital Tools For The Flipped Classroom Hafsa Wajeeh, dtopgadgets Have you “Flipped your classroom” yet? The flipped classroom is a useful technique that has moved lectures out of the class, and onto digital media. A number of tools are available that can be used to record lectures, including YouTube, Edmodo, Schoology, and Moodle. 1. The first tool is Panopto. If you are a teacher and you are using Panopto, you don’t have to worry about uploading your lectures because it is integrated to a Course Management System, Canvas. Panopto is as useful for students as it is for teachers. 2. Tegrity is another great tool that is used for flipping the class. To use Tegrity, you don’t have to change your teaching style. As a student, you have freedom to find a specific portion of a lesson, bookmark it, and you can also send electronic questions to your teachers. 3. Screencast-o-matic is a tool that helps a teacher in recording everything they do does on their computer. 4. 5. Image attribution flickr user flickeringbrad

The Flipped Classroom Model: A Full Picture Due to Khan Academy’s popularity, the idea of the flipped classroom has gained press and credibility within education circles. Briefly, the Flipped Classroom as described by Jonathan Martin is: Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating. Classrooms become laboratories or studios, and yet content delivery is preserved. Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating.
