What does it mean to flip? Taking content consumption outside of the classroom Moving higher level, engaging activities into the classroom Helps teachers go from being “The sage on the stage to the Guide on the side”

Think of Bloom’s Taxonomy upside down

Why flip your classroom? Kate Gimber Uses the Fizz Method No repetition Great way to differentiate

Fizz Method Best for review Take, notes on small sliding white boards, teacher must appear in video, and model hand written notes Can also use chart paper Can use the SMART board, watch the lighting Concise

Benefits More class time to interact with students Analytics can help you track student activity Good feedback for data points and conferences Improved relationships Think of it as a “Teacher in my pocket” Builds school community Better relationship with parents

Flipped Learning Network 7-8 minutes is a good length for a video Holds students attention

Self Directed Learning Separate the teaching of content knowledge and cognitive application Students learn content knowledge on their own with the teacher acting as coach. Teachers lead cognitive application activities during class for deeper understanding

Does it work Preliminary work says YES! According to the Flipped Learning Network (2012), membership on its social media site rose from 2,500 teachers in 2011 to 9,000 teachers in 2012. In one survey of 453 teachers who flipped their classrooms, 67 percent reported increased test scores, with particular benefits for students in advanced placement classes and students with special needs; 80 percent reported improved student attitudes; and 99 percent said they would flip their classrooms again next year (Flipped Learning Network, 2012)

Examples Most common is teacher records short video to watch outside of class and use class time to practice skills and create work products Record short videos to watch in class Great to collaborate with teachers based on strength in different subject areas Allows teacher to stay focused on content rather than student interruption Create a play list on YouTube

Practicing presentation skills Active Learning Hands on experiments or modeled science labs Analyzing another group’s data Performance exercises Role-playing   Benefits Supervised inquiry-based learning Engagement with knowledge in an active way Cements knowledge by tying to actual sensory experiences It’s Fun! Discussions Debate Socratic Seminar Benefits Practicing presentation skills Practicing the ability to create an argument Building social bridges between members of the class

How to get your kids started Teach your expectations Flip the flip Model Active viewing Show how to play video Begin with objectives Note taking Show them how to take the notes Set the expectations Check for understanding

What should the kids do at Home ? While watching the video ? Guided notes/skeleton notes Google Notes Google Form Cornell notes Graphic organizers Free response

What if they didn’t do their HW Hold students accountable Note/work checks Quizzes Google Form as a grade Entrance tickets Flip the idea of the exit ticket because they have already watched the video

Create a No Opt Out Culture Watch it NOW! Individual students or whole class Benefit: Insures everyone is prepared Issue: Requires time/restructuring of class Watch it LATER! Benefit: Doesn’t disrupt class time Issues: Students are less prepared Harder to insure they watched the video

What about our special needs students? “According to the developer’s website, the app allows students without vocal capabilities to “speak” by tapping buttons that represent words or phrases, access grammar with verb and noun inflections, and transition to literacy with word prediction in “typing” view. And because students use the app on their lightweight, portable devices, they can do their flipped classroom “pre-work” from home and come to class the next day prepared to tackle their lessons.” “Rather than teach a subject and then move on to another—whether or not everyone in the class has "gotten" the material—in a flipped classroom each student focuses on mastery at his own pace and advances when he is confident and ready.”
