What is Flipped Learning? Flippedlearning.org

How to Flip a Lesson Video tape yourself giving a lecture Create a video yourself Screencast-o-matic Camstasia Find videos that already exist You Tube Teacher Tube Vimeo Show Me Enhance videos (yours or others’) eduCanon Zaption Interactive videos Quiz questions embedded into video Google Forms/other questionnaires at the end Graphic organizers Guided notes/tables Reading/Watching markers Step One: Create/Find a video to deliver content to students before class Step Two: Have students interact with the content before class

Step Three: Check for Completion and “Grabber” Activity; At the start of class Some students will not have interacted with the video Do not bail them out! Reading Markers Short “grabber” activity Get students thinking about and working with the content before diving into the application activity

Step Four: Practice/Application Activity (homework in most traditional classrooms) Meaningful, Engaging activities Labs, Grab Bag, Web Quests, Socratic Seminar, Discussion Boards Students work at their own pace Do not need to move on until they understand a concept Can move past concepts they already understand Student choice Offer students a variety of ways to show mastery of the concept Have flexibility to work on whatever standard/concept they need

What is Flipped Learning? It is a better use of class time! Higher levels of engagement! It offers many opportunities for ! IEP ALP ELL Read Act Plans st Century Learners

Differentiated Classroom Your classroom is now a differentiated classroom by the following three ways: How your content is delivered to students How the students use the content in the classroom How the students are assessed over that content Todd Nesloney Sophia.org

ObstaclesandSolutions Students without access to devices or internet outside of school Some students will not do their homework (now content delivery) Viewing “parties”/time Public libraries/friends Write grants! What do you do with students that do not do their homework now? They must interact with the content before moving on to the activity with the rest of the class DO NOT BAIL THEM OUT!

ObstaclesandSolutions Getting everyone onboard “You’re not teaching me!” Jon Bergmann and Aaron Sams explain how in this video found on Edutopia Parents: Flipping will increase student- teacher interaction Flipping will bring added value to homework Your child will be able to pause and rewind the teacher Students Don’t just watch the video. Learn and interact You will get more attention from your teacher You need to be engaged in your learning Take advantage of the extra time in class to learn from your teacher and your peers, and to learn on your own!

Responses From Parents… “Just want to pass on our deepest respect and support for creatively taking your teaching methods into the information age that our kids operate in so completely and transparently. We think your approach is logical in the extreme and will pay off handsomely. We will support this effort 100%! If you need anything to support this initiative, please don't hesitate to ask.” P1

“So what’s the point of even coming to class if podcasts of lectures are viewed at home and class time is now for homework? Couldn’t one just drop by, get the work, and just go home? This seems like it's really just over complicating things.” Valid Question! P2

“I think that this new learning technique is absolutely amazing. XXXX is very happy with the way it works for her. I really believe this will help her do better, because when she gets stuck on something she can just pause and rewind the lecture on the part she needs to re-listen to. I see this as being a big success and maybe other classes will think of going in this direction also. I am so excited about this process.” P3

“This seems to be very rushed and difficult to do with other classes. XXX is doing most of the work at home and not at school. This would be like taking an online class. XXX and I are very stressed by this. We can not keep putting in this many hours on just one subject because the other classes will be affected by this.” (Note: this student had turned in 5 out of 36 assignments before, but in the next two weeks had completed 14 out of 14 to earn an “A” for his progress, which is an accelerated pace compared to “C”, or average, weekly progress goals.)

Responses From Students… “Yeah i did good! thats like my first A on a test all year in chemistry!!!! “The podcasts have been really great since I miss a lot of class lately for baseball. I can still keep up with everyone even when I have to miss and use my class time for labs and things I can’t do at home.” S1

“I’m loving this podcast thing! Chemistry makes so much more sense to me now because I can see how to do it and it just clicks.” S2

“I was just on a roll so I finished the whole unit last night. All I have left is the lab and the test and I’ll be done – is that okay to work ahead?” (Student had a 68% average in the 1 st semester, now has 86% and is working towards an A for the end of the year) S3

“I hate this new [flipped learning] thing! I have to like, do homework every night and the higher my grade goes, the more my mom thinks I’m smart and stuff, so I have to like, keep on working. It’s so lame!” S4
