Teachers' Practical Guide to A FLipped Classroom July, 2014 Unlike the numerous graphics I shared here on the topic of flipped learning which were substantially theoretically based, the one I have for you today provides a practical demonstration of how Dr.Russell flipped his classroom . The graphic also features some of the activities and procedures he drew in his flipped instruction. Another section of this graphic highlights some of the bearings of this flipped methodology on students performance particularly in terms of the enhanced test scores. The purpose behind sharing this visual is to provide you with a concrete example of how you can go about integrating a flipped learning methodology in your instruction. This is only a paradigmatic example which you can adapt with due modifications to your own teaching situation. Here are the three easy steps Dr. 1- Record 25 lectures were recorded with Echo 360, each just 35 minutes long 2- Watch Students tune in and watch video the night before class Source: Echo 360
What is flipped classroom What is the 'Flipped Classroom'? Flipped learning pedagogy stems from the premise of inquiry-based and egalitarian philosophy: with the growing access to vast information through the internet, the traditional model of teacher as the sole steward of knowledge has become obsolete (Jenkins et al., 2017). The flipped classroom is a blended learning strategy with the aim to improve student engagement and outcomes. As the Higher Education Academy (HEA) states, 'there is a huge range of different blended approaches; the balance between online and face-to-face components, and the integration of other methods, depends on the needs of learners and the context within which the learning is implemented.' (2017) The key purpose of the flipped classroom is to provide a greater focus on students' application of conceptual knowledge rather than factual recall or straight transfer of information (See Diagram 1).

A New Awesome Visual on Flipped Classroom A few days ago I published here a post featuring a host of interesting video clips explaining the concept of flipped classroom together with providing some examples on how others have been employing it in their classrooms. Today, I come across this awesome graphic entitled " What Is A Flipped Classroom " and thought it might be a good addition to the flipped learning resource page here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning. Flipped classroom or flipped learning is a methodology, an approach to learning in which technology is employed to reverse the traditional role of classroom time. If in the past, classroom time is spent at lecturing to students , now in a flipped model, this time is utilized to encourage individualized learning and provide one-on-one help to students, and also to improve student-teacher interaction.

12 Easy Ways to Use Technology in the Classroom, Even for Technophobic Teachers Everyone wants teachers to use technology in the classroom. But you're busy -- meeting standards, prepping students for tests -- and maybe you’re not too fond of computers, anyway. Never fear – there are easy ways to bring your classroom up-to-date, technologically. Do you have a iPad in your classroom for your use? What kind of Internet access is available at your school? What do you have to do to get Ipads for your students? Also try to find a technology “mentor” on campus – the computer teacher or just another teacher who uses technology more than you do. Perfect Ed Tech Activities for Beginners Do a PowerPoint “Game Show Review” Many tech-savvy teachers have used Microsoft PowerPoint to create review games based on famous game shows, including “Jeopardy! Have students complete a written classroom activity as if it was online. Ever have your students write a diary from the perspective of a character or famous person?

This is Why Flipped Learning is Important for your Students I just came across this great video ( less than 3 minutes long ) about flipped learning. This is basically a successful case in which flipped classroom helped students learn better. I am really amazed at how the teacher in the video managed to shift direct instruction out of his class and turn his class time with students into work time, engaging them in some higher order thinking . He records his lessons and tutorials and share them with students online. Students then watch them at home at their own learning pace and come to school for more directions and help. Educational Technology and Mobile Learning has also featured some previous posts and guides on how teachers can apply the concept of flipped classroom in their teaching, check out this resource to learn more.
Keep mobile phones out of the classroom | Lola Okolosie This week school is back. Kids everywhere will trudge their way through school gates, mourning the end of the long and wet summer holidays. Senior leadership teams everywhere will be preparing to unveil new policies aimed at improving student behaviour and attitudes to learning. Somewhere, the debate around whether mobiles should be allowed in classrooms will resurface. Given that more than 90% of today’s teenagers own one, it is an important question for teachers and one that won’t be going away any time soon. In most schools, you will find mobile phones treated like contraband. Yet a number of mainly fee-paying schools are promoting pupils’ use of mobiles within school and lessons. The proposal sounds unmanageable. A recent large-scale study found that banning mobile phones improved exam results by 2%, even when gender and class had been accounted for. Allowing mobile phones would almost certainly increase cyberbullying.

Les outils qui rendent possible la classe inversée La notion de classe inversée tourne beaucoup autour de la vidéo. Mais pourquoi? Selon Caroline Hétu et David Chartrand, enseignants, elle constitue un outil pédagogique très puissant, permettant « d’expliquer des notions, substituer une partie du cours et donner des instructions claires, autant en classe qu’à la maison ou à l’étranger ». 1. Quiconque a déjà travaillé avec la vidéo sait à quel point ce média est « lourd » côté informatique. Le fait de déposer un fichier (dans ce cas-ci, un fichier vidéo) sur un service en ligne pour y avoir accès de partout s’appelle l’infonuagique, ou l’informatique en nuage. Il existe d’autres applications de l’infonuagique. 2. Pour la création de capsules vidéo originales, il y a différentes façons de procéder. La méthode « enregistreur d’écran » La première façon d’envisager la fabrication de vidéo est d’enregistrer ce qu’on voit à l’écran, tout simplement. Dernière étape : Rendre la vidéo disponible sur YouTube 3. Khan Academy Sophia 4. 22 mars 2012
Classe Inversée + de 50 Enseignant(e)s francophones utilisant l'approche de la classe inversée dans leurs cours Une liste collaborative pour regrouper tous les enseignant(e)s qui utilisent l'approche ou la dynamique de classe inversée dans leurs cours. Le but est de permettre la collaboration entre collègues et la diffusion auprès des intéressé(e)s. La classe inversée La classe inversée : plus qu’une méthode, une philosophie Le fonctionnement est le suivant : les élèves reçoivent des cours sous forme de ressources en ligne (en général des vidéos) qu’ils vont pouvoir regarder chez eux à la place des devoirs, et ce qui était auparavant fait à la maison est désormais fait en classe, d’où l’idée de classe “inversée”. Marie Soulié enseignante au collège Argote d’Orthez dans les Pyrénées Atlantiques applique cette démarche en accompagnement personnalisé en 6ème.
Making the Flipped Classroom a Reality [Infographic] Flipping the classroom isn’t just popular among students; professors love it too. The “sage of the stage” model is becoming outdated as technology makes it as easy for professors to record lectures as it is for students to watch them. Reserving classroom time for interactive and collaborative learning is a refreshing approach to pedagogy and a remarkable use of technology. "Students don't want us to be teaching the same way we did 10 years ago," [Cheryl Aschenbach] says. "Technology is always changing, so teaching has to be innovative and constantly evolving." Read more about how Lassen Community College is implementing a flipped-classroom model. The data presented in the infographic below is from the CDW•G Learn Now, Lecture Later report, which surveyed more than 1,000 students, professors and IT professionals.
La «classe inversée»: le pari d'enseigner à l'envers | Annie Mathieu Assise devant l'ordinateur familial dans la petite pièce adjacente à la cuisine, Alyss-Ann Moisan, 11 ans, regarde la capsule du jour en mathématiques. Éric Tremblay, son professeur de sixième année de l'école Alexander-Wolff à Shannon, explique le concept d'«unité». Derrière lui, un tableau qui lui sert à donner des exemples. C'est exactement comme s'il était devant sa classe, mais il est plutôt devant une caméra. C'est sa collègue et voisine dans la vie, Karine Riley, qui filme. La petite vidéo ne dure que quelques minutes. Il ajustera ainsi les exercices et les projets qu'il développera en classe en fonction de la théorie vue la veille par ses élèves. Mais le jeu en vaut la chandelle, assurent les deux profs à la fine pointe de la technologie. Des élèves assidus Le père d'Alyss-Ann, Jean-François Moisan, voit d'un bon oeil la méthode pédagogique employée par monsieur Éric et madame Karine. Un pionnier
The 10 Best Web Tools For Flipped Classrooms While flipping the classroom is still one of the hottest trends in education, it’s got nothing on time-saving and downright useful apps and web tools. In an effort to provide a quick look at some of the best web tools for flipped classrooms, I thought it would be useful to poll the @Edudemic Twitter followers . Including the tweets, I also got at least 40 emails from friends, colleagues, and administrators from around the world. Below is a simple list designed to help get any educator, administrator, student, or parent a bit more familiar with some of the most popular web tools for flipped classrooms. Wikispaces About The Tool: Wikispaces is a free and useful web tool designed to give students (or ‘users’ of any kind, really) the ability to share their thoughts, reflect on the work of others, and edit a body of work together. Using In Flipped Classrooms: Many teachers who wrote into the ol’ Edudemic account say they use Wikispaces to power their classroom blog. Poll Everywhere Edmodo Celly
