Mrs. Hester's Classroom : Interactive Notebook Well, my students and I have been in quadratic functions for quite a while now! Especially since our EOC testing fell in the middle of it all. I also feel like I did much better job this year with letting them explore/figure out the intricacies before we formalized in their notebooks. So, for example on the "factoring" pages, we spent a day just using algebra tiles to understand what was truly happening and the relationships between the numbers. All that to say, quadratic functions took a long time! So... here are my notebook pages. Man, as I'm uploading, most are blurry. Our Learning Goals/SBG page. I plan to implement SBG more next year and these pages are allowing me to dabble in the idea without fully committing yet. Investigating a quadratic function for the first time... Focus and Directrix pages from Sarah. The same properties of quadratic functions pages that I did last year. Angry birds and vertex form. Standard Form and a summary page from here. Original idea and post HERE.
Flipped Classroom 2.0: Competency Learning With Videos The flipped classroom model generated a lot of excitement initially, but more recently some educators — even those who were initial advocates — have expressed disillusionment with the idea of assigning students to watch instructional videos at home and work on problem solving and practice in class. Biggest criticisms: watching videos of lectures wasn’t all that revolutionary, that it perpetuated bad teaching and raised questions about equal access to digital technology. Now flipped classroom may have reached equilibrium, neither loved nor hated, just another potential tool for teachers — if done well. “There is no place for them to hide. The two teachers admit when they started flipping their classrooms they put everything into video form. “The best use of class time is to meet the individual needs of each learner, not driving the class with predetermined curriculum,” Sams said.

Flipping my Spanish Classroom Math = Love Flipped Learning and Control I was able to join some fantastic educators today last Friday for a Flipped Learning workshop hosted by the Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals. I was part of a group from TechSmith, while Dan Spencer, Laura Bell, Jonathan Palmer, Missy McCarthy, Delia Bush, David Fouch, and Greg Green were panelists for the workshop. I’ve been acquainted with Greg since I heard about his plans to flip his entire high school. I met him in person this past fall, and I’ve been challenged by his thoughtfulness and questions ever since. Last fall, Greg and I had a conversation about why he flipped Clintondale…he wanted more control. Confession: I didn’t understand what he meant at all. Fast forward to this morning. We are at a point where information and support are constantly in a power struggle. Enter personal computing. The key to this is that we successfully blend the access to information and the support only a teacher can give.
Témoignages | Classe Inversée Le modèle de classe inversée est aujourd’hui utilisé par des dizaines de milliers de professeurs, et certaines écoles s’y sont même entièrement converties. Grâce à l’ampleur prise par le mouvement durant ces dernières années, nous avons désormais le recul nécessaire pour apprécier les résultats et les challenges de ce modèle. De nombreuses discussions ont lieu chaque jour et les retours d’expériences sont riches en surprises, en conseils et en anecdotes. Vous verrez que ces témoignages concernent le plus souvent les mathématiques, c’est notamment dû au fait que les outils en ligne sont souvent plus aboutis pour cette matière (voir par exemple ceux de Khan Academy), mais les résultats sont similaires dans les autres disciplines. - Dans les collèges- Dans les lycées- Dans les universités Dans les collèges - Une moyenne de classe doublée en 6 mois au collège Egan Junior High à Los Altos Courtney Cadwell utilise les cours de Khan Academy pour l’une de ses classes de mathématiques.
Yummy Math Learning with Technology: Flipped Teaching Guest post by Steve Salik, Ph.D. Over the past three years or so, screencasting and lecture capture technology have become a hot topic in education. While the technology itself isn’t new, the discussion about how these technologies can improve teaching and learning has taken on a new urgency. The phenomenal success and growth of the Khan Academy has been the primary catalyst for this discussion and demonstrated how progress in education is so often trapped by process. Converting lectures to digital assets Khan didn’t invent the idea of the flipped classroom, it was initially proposed by Lage, Platt and Treglia in their article “Inverting the Classroom: A Gateway to Creating an Inclusive Learning Environment.” The jury is still out While there’s been significant anecdotal evidence that the flipped classroom is effective, from a scholarly perspective the jury is still out and research is ongoing. The intersection between teaching, learning and technology Is it too long? 12 Brain Rules Related
À la découverte de la pédagogie inversée: le pourquoi « Annick Arsenault Carter Comment se fait-il que certaines régions du Monde parlent de classe inversée depuis déjà deux ans et que j’en ai seulement fait connaissance il y a quelques mois? Vous la connaissez? Si vous lisez ce billet, il y a de fortes chances que vous êtes familiers ou familières avec celle-ci et/ou que vous cherchez, tout comme moi, à la comprendre davantage. Pourquoi fait-elle fureur? Dans l’article Warning : Flipping Your Classroom Might Lead To Increased Student Understanding Teaching Science and Math on précise qu’il s’agit d’une philosophie et non d’une stratégie. J’aime bien que l’article souligne qu’il faut changer le statu quo, car le statu quo ne fonctionne pas. We all know how students like to interact with one another as well. Quant aux élèves et parents, il faut comprendre la dynamique à mon école. Il n’est plus question du pourquoi, mais du comment! Like this:
