Caveats ●Homework will not suddenly get done 100% of the time. ●A bad lesson, flipped, is still a bad lesson. ●Remember -- students learn best as active creators not passive consumers.

Teacher Best Practices DO: ●Give students tech and time ●Publish, curate, and share resources ●Let students explore ●Coach DONT: ●Become laissez- faire ●worry about stolen thunder ●Think that you have to create all materials yourself
3 Benefits of Flipping 1.Control 2.Choice 3.Time
●Teacher controls quality ○ create or curate a “perfect” delivery”- ○ same quality in morning as in afternoon.* ●student controls delivery timing *curating video or flipped lessons is just the same as curating reading assignments for your class. It is still “real” teaching even if you didn’t invent it! Benefits of Flipping 1- CONTROL
Benefits of Flipping 2- CHOICE OLD WAY whole group Instruction limited to the abilities of the delivering teacher in the given moment. Only one delivery must suit all learners FLIPPED WAY: Teacher &/or student chooses the best content for their situation from a large variety of styles, delivery methods, and sources. singingsinging, rapping, just-the-facts, etc.rappingjust-the-facts
Benefits of Flipping 3- Time Efficiency OLD WAY: student may miss info and be embarrassed to ask for repeat Teacher is LIVE- may forget to deliver info or be delayed by class issues. FLIPPED WAY : student can pause rewind, review. can watch when convenient to them. teacher can be sure all is covered as desired the first time...
creating time for active, exploratory, integrated, student-driven learning
Example of aFlipped Faculty Meeting Piedmont Asthma/Diabetes Training At home teachers viewed the training and took notes. In meeting we used ColAR Mix app to animate teacher facts Benefit of flipping-Instead of spending time viewing together, we can come in and share/discuss while doing an activity (demo of AR) Gimmicks and activities help attention and memory also associate meeting time with interaction not just receiving.
