Flipping the Classroom: A revolutionary approach to learning presents some pros and cons Illustration by Brian Stauffer Back in 2007, two high school science teachers in Woodland Park, CO, decided to try a “crazy idea.” “We said, ‘What if we stopped lecturing and committed all our lectures to videos?’” Flipping the classroom lets school become a place for talking, doing group projects, and getting individual help from teachers—and lets home become a place for watching instructional videos. Aside from the technology involved, it’s not necessarily a new idea. Ideally, flipping the classroom gives kids “a personalized learning experience,” says Wade Roberts, CEO of Educreations, which makes a free iPad app that more than 150,000 teachers are using to make interactive video lessons. Making class time count Librarians help teachers flip the classroom—and the media center. “The idea is to use technology to make sure that the time in the classroom isn’t spent on lecturing. Of course, just because a librarian or teacher posts a video doesn’t mean students will watch it.

Why I Gave Up Flipped Instruction A little over a year ago I wrote a post about the flipped classroom, why I loved it, and how I used it. I have to admit, the flip wasn’t the same economic and political entity then that it is now. And in some ways, I think that matters. Here’s the thing. When I wrote that post, I imagined the flip as a stepping stone to a fully realized inquiry/PBL classroom. What is the flip? The flipped classroom essentially reverses traditional teaching. When I first encountered the flip, it seemed like a viable way to help deal with the large and sometimes burdensome amount of content included in my senior Biology & Chemistry curricula. My flipped experiments I first encountered the flip in a blog post. My students loved the idea of trying something that very few other students were doing. We began to shift As I shifted my classroom from teacher-centred to student-centred, my students began to do lots of their their own research. What was my role? The flip faded away The flip is gone for good No.

LearningApps.org - modules d'apprentissage interactifs et multimédia 24 iPad apps to support Bloom’s Taxonomy By Laura Devaney, Managing Editor, @eSN_Laura Read more by Laura Devaney March 15th, 2013 Many iPad apps serve to boost student engagement and collaboration. Bloom’s Taxonomy, introduced in the 1950s as a system of organizing learning objectives into a pyramid, traditionally has started with creating at the top, followed by evaluating, analyzing, applying, understanding, and remembering. Some educators today are flipping the triangle so that remembering is on top, followed by understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating on the bottom. During an edWeb.net webinar, educational technologist Kathy Schrock presented a variety of apps for iPads that can boost student engagement and collaboration, and that can be used for teaching and learning according to Bloom’s Taxonomy. “Remembering” apps:Diigo – A social bookmarking tool; teachers can use this app on an iPad to add relevant bookmarks, or create their own account and share.

The Flipped Classroom: Pro and Con In 2012, I 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. People wanted to know what it was, what it wasn't, how it's done and why it works. Others wanted to sing its praises and often included a vignette about how it works in their classroom and how it transformed learning for their students. Still others railed that the model is nothing transformative at all and that it still emphasizes sage-on-the-stage direct instruction rather than student-centered learning. What It Is 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

How the Flipped Classroom Turned Me into a Better Student - Getting Smart Kylie is a 12th Grade Student at Clintondale High School, in Clinton Township, Michigan My first two years of high school were a continuous struggle. I wasn’t very engaged during class, had a difficult time doing my homework, and was unable to get help from my parents because they didn’t know the material that I was being assigned. After my sophomore year I took the ACT test and scored a 13 – which was not good enough to have many options after high school. On my first day of class junior year, everything changed. My school began flipping all of its classes, which meant that for homework, I was assigned videos to watch, which were made by my teachers and explained the material which we were learning. The biggest different in the flipped classroom was that I was able to learn at my own pace. Being able to learn at my own pace and ask my teachers very specific questions gave me a greater understanding of the material. The flipped classroom made a huge impact on my education – and life.

Liste d’applications iPad pour la 1re année du primaire Voici une liste d’applications iPad pouvant être utilisées en 1re année. Elle sera mise à jour régulièrement après les avoir validées avec mes élèves. Applications iPad en 1re année (janvier 2013) Nouvelle liste d’applications iPad et Androïd (en constante évolution, août 2014) Je tiens à mentionner que parmi ces applications, les plus valables, à mon avis, sont celles qui facilitent la coopération, la création et la diffusion de productions écrites ou multimédias. Je diffuse cette liste personnelle car on m’en a souvent fait la demande, mais je crois que chacun a le devoir de faire une réflexion, de consulter des experts et de faire des recherches afin de tirer ses propres conclusions sur l’exploitation du iPad. Exemples de productions: Des souhaits enregistrés avec Talking Tom et autres Une saynète avec Puppet Pals Un livre d’Halloween créé en collaboration en format iBooks Les lettres de l’alphabet avec Pix Stop J’aime que mes élèves utilisent d’autres applications de jeux ou exerciseurs.

Hands-on equations For many students algebra seems too abstract and hard to learn. They often resort to ineffective memorization and in the long run find only frustration and failure. Now there’s a new free iPad app that can turn frustration into success. The Fun Way to Learn Algebra: Hands-On Equations 1 Lite gives even the youngest students visual and kinesthetic ways to understand abstract algebraic equations. The app is intended for children from age 8 onward. The app, like the physical version, is also well suited for helping older students who are struggling in traditional algebra classes. Each of the three lessons of this free app is introduced by a short three- to four-minute video. In the first lesson the student learns that a pawn, or marker, has an unknown weight, or value, and that a number cube has the value shown on the cube. The “scale” does not actually move. After a short while the student will see that the value of 5 for the pawn will give both sides the same value, namely 13.
