The Flipped Classroom Lenny VerMaas Have you been thinking about “flipping your classroom?” Do you wonder if “flipping your classroom” would work or you? Have you “flipped your classroom” and have some ideas to share or questions or ask? We won’t have all the answers but will share resources and ideas.

What is the “flipped classroom” or “flipped learning”?

The power of using videos is "rewindable" learning. Students do not always learn the first time. Videos allow the learner to rewind and watch as many times as they want. Student created video allow students to reach the highest level of learning by teaching others.

If you give a moose a muffin, he’ll want some jam to go with it.

So you’ll bring out some of your mother’s homemade blackberry jam.

When he’s finished eating the muffin, he’ll want another, and another and another

If you give a student the ability to create videos.. What could occur.

Videos in the Classroom Use to Create Interest for Students – “Upside down teaching” – Dan Meyer--Math “The Flipped Classroom” – The homework is the lecture or learning time while class time is used to practice with teaching supervision – Used to show students how to solve a problem Student Created Video – Students create a video to demonstrate a skill – The value of teaching someone else

Upside Down Teaching

Pose Problems Before Presenting Solutions

From Dan Meyer Students seem to lack – Initiative – Perseverance – Retention Have an aversion to word problems Have an eagerness for formulas

Einstein The formulation of a problem is often more essential than the solution which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill.

Upside-down Teaching Cathy Seeley, former president of NCTM Rather than starting a lesson with the identification of procedures and simple examples, and working up to a rich, challenging problem, teachers who practice Upside-down Teaching begin with the rich, challenging problem. Seeley suggests the following outline:

Cathy Seeley Upside-down teaching Start with a rich problem Engage students in dealing with the problem by discussing, comparing, and interacting Help students connect and notice what they’ve learned Then assign exercises and homework Demonstration of upside-down teaching at

Cathy Seeley Productive, Structured Struggling Attitude is more important than aptitude. Do Math and you can do anything. Relevant, assessable, engaging, and appropriate for all.

How would this work or look in your classroom?

Flipped Classroom

Flipped Learning Teacher’s lecture is delivered outside of regular classroom time. Class time is used for – Problem solving by students – Small group tutoring – One to one time with teacher – Work on projects – Explore content in more depth Results – Restructuring of instructional time – Student centered learning – Student ownership of learning

Pillars of Flipped Learning F lexible Environment (space, pedagogy and assessment) Learning Culture (student centered, shift in roles, teachers able to meet individually with students, differentiate, student owernership Intentional Content (flipping allows going to higher levels of Blumes. Professional Educator

The Flipped Classroom The homework is the lecture or learning time while class time is used to practice with the teacher being available to guide. Aaron Sans – classroom classroom Why I flipped my classroom – &feature=related &feature=related

Flipped Learning facilitates this “there are lots of studies that show that active learning, formative assessment, group work, project-based learning, just-in-time learning are all measurably good things for students.”

Videos Need to be short – Not your regular lecture recorded Make videos interactive – Embedded assessments or note taking – Even watching the video students need to be actively engaged.

Communication Let your students and parents know why you are flipping your classroom.

Teach Students How to Watch Videos How to pause When to pause When to rewind Build in notes and formative assessments. If you want it, you need to teach it.
