The “Traditional” Classroom 90% of time spent at front of classroom giving lecture, taking notes, and maybe answering a few questions. 10% of time actually taking the time to apply the knowledge in the classroom. We assign it for homework.

Students are changing… “I felt like I was working harder and harder, and the students were working less and less hard, and we weren’t being successful. I really felt like they need to be interacting with the material more than I am.” ~Dr. Susan Kramer High School Biology Gwinnett School of Math, Science, and Technology (GA) From Education Week (September 27, 2011)

The “Flipped” Classroom 90% of class time actually spent on application of learned material. This gives the teacher the ultimate opportunity to differentiate based on student need – WOW! 10% of class time discussing “homework” or delivering of instruction in a lecture type setting. I got it!! This stuff really makes sense now!

Why FLIP Your Classroom? Flipping speaks the language of today’s students. Flipping helps busy students. Flipping helps struggling students. Flipping helps students of all abilities to excel. Flipping allows students to pause and rewind their teacher. (Bergman and Sams, 2012)

More Reasons to FLIP your Classroom Flipping increases student-teacher interaction. Flipping allows teachers to know their students better. Flipping allows for real differentiation. Flipping makes your class transparent. Flipping changes the way we talk to parents and helps to educate them. (Bergman and Sams, 2012)

Flipping is not for everyone, but... “The time when students really need me physically present is when they get stuck and need my individual help. They don’t need me there in the room with them to yak at them and give them content; they can receive content on their own.” ~Aaron Sams High School Chemistry From the book, Flip your Classroom

No such thing as “the” flipped classroom “Flipping the classroom is more about a mindset: redirecting attention away from the teacher and putting attention on the learner and the learning.” ~Jonathan Bergmann & Aaron Sams High School Chemistry From the book, Flip your Classroom

How to Begin Flipping Your Classroom Know your objectives – will a video be an appropriate instructional tool? Search for an appropriate video or create a screen cast video of your own. Train the students to view your videos effectively. Do students have access? (DVDs) Turn off other devices while watching Encourage the pause and the rewind Teach how to take notes, including recording questions that come up during the video

The Video Teachers are comfortable with technology & with recording themselves. Teachers who: ~do not have time ~struggle with technology ~do not speak well in front of a computer screen Use other Teachers’ Videos Make your own Videos

Making your own Video Options Record all of your live direct instruction during the year and then determine how to use it to flip the next year. Use PowerPoint slide show. Use a screen casting program, microphone, webcam, digital pen/SMART to make a video with faces, sound, annotations, and writing in real time.

Making your own Video 1.Plan the lesson 2.Record using a screen casting program like Camtasia 3.Edit Video (does not have to be perfect!) 4.Publish (make sure the video is accessible) School website YouTube or SchoolTube DVDs

Video Rules Keep it short Animate your voice Create video with another teacher Add humor Add callouts Zoom in & out Keep it copyright friendly (Bergman and Sams, 2012)

Now, What Happens in Class? 1.Discussion about the video from the night before so students can ask questions. Students cannot ask immediate questions during the video. Clear up misconceptions before concepts are practiced and applied incorrectly. Gives the teacher a chance to evaluate the effectiveness of the video. 2.Assignment for the Period Lab Inquiry activity Directed problem-solving activity Quiz/Test
