5 Keys to Success for Beginning Flippers By Lani Aquino Trying out a new approach in the classroom can be both exciting and overwhelming. While the flipped classroom has been a big buzzword in education over the past few years, you may still be standing on the sidelines. You’ve heard all the benefits and success stories, but the idea of a total shift in your instructional approach may leave you feeling flipped yourself. Taking the time to familiarize yourself with the approach will do wonders. Humble Beginnings: Don’t feel the need to completely immerse in the flipped concept from day one.

Flipping Instruction for Struggling Students “The “Flipped Classroom” starts with one question: what is the best use of my face-to-face class time?” – Jonathan Bergmann We can flip the traditional model of instruction to help support all our students! We can get students to learn at home with engaging content and show them how to use web tools and apps to seek help. When our students come back to the classroom, they will have the foundational knowledge to add to discussions or complete activities. In this way, we maximize our class time to observe students using their knowledge and supporting them where they struggle. Video doesn’t have to be the only option!

FLIPPING YOUR FACULTY MEETINGS 2/5/2013 By: Nancy Caramanico Do you wish your faculty meetings could be more engaging? A recent study by MCI Conferencing revealed the following statistics: Most professionals who meet on a regular basis admit to daydreaming (91%), missing meetings (96%), or missing parts of meetings (95%). A large percentage (73%) said they have brought other work to meetings and some (39%) said they have dozed during meetings. Though this study was done in a business setting, similar percentages may well be found at faculty meetings in many schools. Based on the popular flipped classroom concept, in the flipped faculty meeting, teachers are given informational items to read and view in advance. Create a 10-15 minute video of agenda items. Share articles, procedures, and documents about new instruction ahead of time. ❏ Explain the concept and purpose to teachers in advance. ❏ Foster teacher buy-in. ❏ Communicate the timeline and process clearly. ❏ Survey teacher needs. • What would you like to learn?

Now I'm making them and coming up with ideas for them all the time!" "DIY has really helped me because I always want to do proactive things but I sit around on my video games thinking I'll go do something tomorrow, which ends up being more video games, because I can't think of what to do or how I would! So DIY has helped me discover things that I actually can do, things I wouldn't of done if it wasn't for DIY showing me it!" "If DIY has taught me anything it's that quality is not just for the pros anymore. Quality is for us now too. "It has given me more determination and has shown me that I like getting my hands dirty and getting dirt under my nails.
