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 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.

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:

RaughtFlipped - home Changing Gears 2012: rejecting the "flip" (1) ending required sameness (3) re-thinking rigor (4) its not about 1:1 (5) start to dream again (6) learning to be a society (again) (7) re-thinking what "literature" means (8) maths are creative, maths are not arithmetic (9) changing rooms (10) undoing academic time (11) social networks beyond Zuckerbergism (12) knowing less about students, seeing more (13) why we fight Maybe I'm highly sensitive to this. I grew up in a 420 square foot home with two parents and four kids. This was not a place for the calm production of homework. Anyway, this is not to be confused with an Oprah-style faux memoir, that's not the point. In later years, as a cop in Brooklyn and The Bronx, as the computer co-ordinator for a homeless mission with before and after school programs for homeless kids, and in work in high poverty schools, I know what kids in poverty face at home. So in changing gears for this new year, step two is "rejecting the flipped classroom." Kralovec and Buell So please, reject the flip.

The TED-ed Flip Tool in the Foreign Language Classroom | Foreign language begins with T There are a lot of mixed opinions out there about flipping classes and the new TED-ed flip tool. However, since this is not a blog about flipping, but a blog about technology use in the foreign language classroom, I am going to show you how great, handy and simple to use this tool is. The TED-ed flip tool in the non-flipping foreign language classroom The TED-ed flip tool allows you to take any YouTube video and create a short lesson with it. How? By allowing you to include a questionnaire and add further resources to complement it. As with any technology tool, it is up to the teacher to make the best out of it and to use it in such a way that it enhances the students’ learning. Below is a TED-ed flipped lesson I just created in approximately 10 minutes, as I already knew which video to use. Now, I know I said I would not talk about actually flipping here, but this is just biting me and I won’t take too long saying it. TED-ed flip tool tutorial Some Related Posts:

5 Ways to Address Student Resistance in the Flipped Classroom “Students forced to take major responsibility for their own learning go through some or all of the steps psychologists associate with trauma and grief: Shock, Denial, Strong emotion, Resistance and withdrawal, Struggle and exploration, Return of confidence, and Integration and success” (Felder & Brent, 1996, p. 43.) Active learning environments cause disruption. They cause disruption because they go against the status quo. They break away from the ‘norms’ you typically see in a classroom. In these environments, you’re not going to see a classroom where students are listening to the teacher’s voice as he or she presents information from the textbook. The flipped classroom is one type of active learning environment. It’s also hard. It’s hard because flipped classrooms require a new set of skills for both the instructor and the students. Our students are moving through the stages from shock and withdrawal to confidence and success. 1. 2. 3. Try a flippable moment. 4. 5. Resources
