The Flipped Classroom: Explanation & Resources The flipped classroom model, in which traditional teaching methods and the order of a student’s day are basically reversed to make use of resources online and/or outside of class while moving what we know as traditional “homework” into actual classroom time, has been slowly gaining steam around the country since its unofficial inception in 2004, but the recent onslaught of high quality educational resources being released from the likes of Khan Academy, MIT, and others has really kicked the movement into high gear. What is the flipped classroom model? Does it work? Take a look at a collection of articles and resources below.

Flipping the classroom | Giovanni Bonaiuti Da qualche tempo, in rete, si parla con insistenza di “flipped classroom model”. Il nome è intrigante ed ho pensato valesse la pena provare a capire meglio… Si tratta di una modalità di insegnamento (supportata da tecnologie) in cui si invertono i tempi e i modi di lavoro. Non è tanto la classe ad essere “capovolta” quanto il normale schema di lavoro in classe. Tipicamente, infatti, si ha un primo momento in cui l’insegnante spiega (fa “lezione”) seguito da un secondo momento in cui agli studenti sono assegnati problemi da risolvere tipicamente da svolgere a casa (i “compiti a casa”). Modello tradizionale Modello “flipped classroom” In altre parole l’insegnante si troverà ad investire il suo tempo nell’accompagnare allo sviluppo ed estensione delle conoscenze, alla loro trasformazione in capacità concrete. Nel video sotto “Why I Flipped My Classroom”, questa insegnante – Katie Gimbar – illustra i motivi per cui ha deciso di “ribaltare” l’insegnamento della matematica nella propria classe.

Student e-Portfolios | The Big English Blog Avec certaines classes ou certains groupes, nous allons expérimenter cette année avec la création d’un STUDENT e-PORTFOLIO à l’aide de WIKISPACES. Chaque élève devra gérer son propre espace de travail en ligne, en incluant travaux écrits et oraux. On peut télécharger les travaux sous forme de documents en traitement de texte, des images, des fichiers sons enregistrés et des vidéos filmées. L’élève devra donner un accès à Mme Léger afin de lui permettre de suivre l’évolution du travail personnel de l’élève tout au long de l’année. Le travail en ligne fera partie d’une évaluation particulière. Il est tout à fait possible pour l’élève de faire du travail au delà de ce qui est demandé en classe – c’est un peu l’avantage de ce type de travail. Pour les L LVA, le premier travail à mettre dans le portfolio sera la présentation filmée. Un exemple d’un portfolio est visible en cliquant sur ce lien lvalouviers.wikispaces.com
