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 classroom through reverse instruction Have you ever experienced the unique and rare moment when, after doing something the same way for year and years, you have an epiphany and wonder, "why am I doing it this way?" Most of the time the answer is tradition, that's the way we've always done it. At one time, there probably was a sound, logical, reasonable explanation for the decision to do it that way. I stumbled across an interesting article in THE Journal a little over a year ago and had a moment like I described above. Sams and Bergman were the first people, to my knowledge, to suggest the idea of "reverse instruction." Last year I began implementing reverse instruction into my high school Anatomy & Physiology class. With class time liberated from lectures I was able to incorporate more hands-on activities, projects, and helping students better understand confusing and challenging concepts. I would not say that my first year was a complete success. Reverse Instruction Resources:
Inverting the classroom, improving student learning ThomsonScience | Ramblings about my life as a chemistry teacher Supporting Students in a #Flipclass « Educator I saw a tweet come through the feed this morning from Brad Campbell and Vanessa Alander regarding the practice of “implementing” a flipped classroom without appropriate support for students. [blackbirdpie id="186084660743380992"] [blackbirdpie id="186085691363561473"] These are important discussions to have because, and I cannot emphasize this enough, good pedagogy must come before technology use. Some things to consider as you plan on flipping your class: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Flipped classrooms can accentuate good teaching just as well as it can accentuate bad teaching.
What is flipped learning? Quick-fire links Are we about to see organisations slipping in the word “flipped” when describing their learning and devlopment activities? The concept is gaining ground in the education sector, so what exactly is it and what does it mean for learning and development (L&D)? The main thrust of flipped learning is that the learner is given materials (online video, for example) to look at outside of the classroom so that those materials can then be discussed back in the classroom. That’s the flip – looking at learning materials outside of the classroom rather than them being delivered by the teacher in the classroom. This is how Wikipedia currently defines flipped learning: “The traditional pattern of secondary education has been to have classroom lectures, in which the teacher explains a topic, followed by homework, in which the student does exercises. Khan Academy success The rise and rise of the Khan Academy and its focus on video learning is adding fuel to the fire. Taking it further

Flipped classroom - no more It seemed like a good idea. It worked for a while. How do I know? Because in class, more kids would take the initiative to come to me with questions regarding understanding rather than procedure. Because kids were getting group practice on sophisticated (more or less) questions done in class. Because I could see on thatquiz that students were doing their assignments and I loved seeing what was going well and needed re-teaching. Then it didn't work anymore. The test results were horrible. Even though it's disappointing that the flipped classroom strategy didn't work, I'm happy we tried it. Afterwards, I talked at length about why we tried flipped classroom (to get more time for problem solving / exercises in class because the students were not doing them at home).
I spy with my #flipclass eye…Is texting the problem? | flipperteach Can I be honest? I wrote and passed notes in class my entire high school career. I even collected said notes and displayed them in shoe box with pride. “Look! Did this extensive social note writing hinder my education? In fact, at times the entire class participated in social note writing, and notes would pass around and be added to throughout class. Communicating as I learn is how I put pieces of the puzzle together. As an adult, I now know that with my own learning, communication always leads to engagement. This year as I transitioned from being a “stand and deliver” teacher to one where I am more a “guide on the side” in the flipped classroom, I gained time to interact with and observe students in an insightful way. When I see it happen, I know: “Yup, I went the wrong way, turn around and find your way back to the heart of the matter.” Students need to be engaged. In our flip classroom cell phones/technology are welcome in class. So I ask you, is texting really the problem? P.S.
Flipping the classroom. It's time. For years I've been talking about how online learning creates a "reversal of fortune," because in a classroom the student is entirely on the teacher's turf, but as soon as you put learning online it's the opposite. It's the teacher and the learning that has to adapt to the student's personal environment. This reversal has enormous ramifications, the top of the heap being that online learning must now be considered a product in ways the classroom does not. You can't assume learners will follow your rules just because you say so. The reversal of fortune has now evolved, and its offspring is the flipped classroom. is, at its most basic, asking students to learn the content at home and practice it in the classroom, instead of the other way around. Pearson has been flipping the classroom with its MyMathLab product for years, though sometimes without the knowledge of the faculty. So how does this relate to the online learning "reversal of fortune?" What does all this mean?
