The Flipped Class Manifest

4 Things To Consider Before You Flip Your Classroom The Flipped Classroom model is gaining momentum in classrooms around the world. Much has been said and written about the benefits and advantages of the Flipped Classroom throughout the year, so during the last three weeks of school I decided to experiment with this model of instruction and I flipped my math classroom. Using Explain Everything on my iPad, I created a series of videos that my students watched prior to coming to school. Although the results were highly encouraging and made me a fervent proponent of the Flipped Classroom, there are four things that I think every classroom teacher should know before they start using the Flipped Classroom model. Some Students Will Take Longer To Adapt Than Others Teachers should keep in mind that many students will need a week or two to adjust to the new “homework reality” that the Flipped Classroom is based on. Teacher-Made Videos Must Be Engaging Recording Time Might Be Longer Than You Anticipate Video Formats Should Be Chosen Carefully

Should You Flip Your Classroom? At its core, "flipped instruction" refers to moving aspects of teaching out of the classroom and into the homework space. With the advent of new technologies, specifically the ability to record digitally annotated and narrated screencasts, instructional videos have become a common medium in the flipped classroom. Although not limited to videos, a flipped classroom most often harnesses different forms of instructional video published online for students. Despite recent buzz, catalyzed primarily by Salman Khan's TED talk, flipped instruction is by no means a new methodology. The Pros Advocates of the flipped classroom point to its potential as a time-shifting tool. ". . . the focus of flipped teaching is different from other examples in that the technology itself is simply a tool for flexible communication that allows educators to differentiate instruction to meet individual student needs and spend more time in the classroom focused on collaboration and higher-order thinking."

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. A compiled resource page of the Flipped Classroom (with videos and links) can be found at The advantage of the flipped classroom is that the content, often the theoretical/lecture-based component of the lesson, becomes more easily accessed and controlled by the learner. It is important, though, not to be seduced by the messenger. The Flipped Classroom Model Experiential Engagement: The Activity Summary

Physics Education One problem with conventional teaching lies in the presentation of the material. Frequently, it comes straight out of textbooks and/or lecture notes, giving students little incentive to attend class. That the traditional presentation is nearly always delivered as a monologue in front of a passive audience compounds the problem. In order to address these misconceptions about learning, we developed a method, Peer Instruction, which involves students in their own learning during lecture and focuses their attention on underlying concepts. We have taught two different levels of introductory physics at Harvard using this strategy and have found that students make significant gains in conceptual understanding (as measured by standardized tests) as well as gaining problem-solving skills comparable to those acquired in traditionally taught classes. Peer Instruction is easy to implement in almost any subject and class.

6 Steps To A Flipped Classroom - by Josh Corbat, TeachThought Intern Students today are vastly different from when we were in their shoes. We were brought up on the age-old tradition of lecture, practice, and assessment. Think about it. Self-Directed Learning is the new learning. Students in the age of iPads and Google have been doing this since before they could walk. The Flipped Classroom model (or blended learning model, if that is your cup of tea) is based on very simple, logical principles. My advice to the teacher deciding whether or not to take the leap to the Flipped Classroom is just this: If you decide to go for it, there is no turning back. If you’ve made it this far, I’m guessing you’re truly interested in giving this a try. At any rate, here is one approach to flipping your classroom. Step 1: Decide which technology you will use. Low tech or high tech? The videos themselves are not meant to be worthy of the silver screen. There are so many ways you can flip your lectures. Step 3: Make your videos!

Cycles of Learning The Flipped Learning Process Visually Explained April 2, 2015 After yesterday’s post on “Flipped Learning Resources” one of our readers emailed us this beautiful visual outlining the six main steps involved in the creation of a flipped classroom. These steps include: planning, recording, sharing, changing, grouping, and regrouping. Read the graphic for more details on each of these steps. As a refresher for those who are not yet familiar with the concept of a flipped classroom. via Daily Genius Courtesy of eLearning Infographics The Learning Cycle: The Learning Cycle: A Comparison of Models of Strategies for Conceptual Reconstruction: A Review of the Literature Several pedagogical frameworks have been devised that center on conceptual reconstruction. Renner. Renner's analogy for this entire process is that of a guided tour where the guide, the teacher, points out all the sights to be observed and the learner is discouraged from taking any detour that, in the guide's view, is not productive. If we accept that each of us must develop the understandings we have about a concept for ourselves, then Renner suggests an alternative teaching model as more appropriate. 1) His initial concern is with pupils gaining experience and this becomes the first stage of his teaching model. 2) In the second stage, the learner is introduced to some appropriately–specific terminology in relation to the phenomenon being investigated. Karplus. 2) In the second phase of the Karplus model, the concept is introduced and explained. Driver . Erickson. Barnes.

Quand un problème devient fantastique. - Compte rendu d'une expérimentation de l'apprentissage par problèmes (APP) dans un cours de littérature Auteure : Mélanie Pagé, Professeure de français, Cégep de Sainte-Foy Toutes les enseignantes et tous les enseignants le savent : les formules pédagogiques doivent être au service des objectifs visés, jamais l’inverse. Lorsqu’une activité amène les élèves à faire efficacement des apprentissages durables qui peuvent être transférés par la suite, qu’importe si elle emprunte les caractéristiques de diverses approches ? C’est ce que j’avais en tête lorsque j’ai décidé, au cours d’une formation PERFORMA sur l’apprentissage par problèmes (APP), d’expérimenter cette méthode dans le deuxième des quatre cours de littérature de la formation générale. Certes, pour arriver à créer un « problème littéraire », il m’a fallu effectuer quelques croisements, greffer un brin de littérature à l’esprit des sciences et mélanger, entre autres, démarche scientifique et analyse littéraire. Qu'est-ce qu'un problème dans un cours de littérature ?
