What Do You Do During Class? Now that your students are receiving instruction from you at home, what are you going to do with all the class time you have available? You should have more time for –Class discussions –Labs –Cooperative learning –Project-based learning

I Don’t Want To Make Videos! Places to go to download videos so you don’t have to make them yourself –Sophia –Khan Academy –YouTube EDU –TeacherTube –Brightstorm –Discovery Learning –Many more!

How Flipping Can Fail Teachers have to have a desire to Flip You cannot Flip every lesson! –Start by Flipping one lesson per week –Soon you will build a library of effective Flipped lessons There has to be a “Plan B” for students without Internet access Believing that Flipping is the “Magic Bullet”

What’s So Great About Flipping? Students view videos at home about the next day’s lesson Students come to class the next day knowing what is going on Valuable class time is used for student questions, cooperative learning, project-based learning, class discussions

What’s so Great About Flipping? Instead of students sitting at home trying to do their homework, they do their work under the guidance of the teacher Teachers are excited about the possibilities Students like watching the videos at home, as they are generally shorter than a lesson given in class Students don’t like “traditional” lecture

What’s So Great About Flipping? All of that cool technology your district purchased will actually get USED! –SmartBoards –iPads –Laptops Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle have been dead for 2,400 years Let’s try something different! It is 14 years into the 21 st Century…let’s teach using “21 st Century Skills!”

What’s So Great About Flipping? Have you worked hard to “differentiate” instruction? Flipping makes it easy! How do students transfer information from short-term to long-term memory? –Repetition! Parents can participate in their child’s educational process!

Flipping Gurus Go to YouTube and search for: –Aaron Sams –Jonathan Bergmann –Katie Gimbar –Bill Nye has also jumped on the Flipping bandwagon!

Other Flipping Resources The “Flipped Teaching Network” TedEd “Lessons Worth Sharing” – lessons-worth-sharinghttp://ed.ted.com/lessons/introducing-ted-ed- lessons-worth-sharing This resource is so good, I will be doing an entire webinar about it (and Sophia) in March, 2013!

What the Naysayers Are Saying “What if kids don’t watch the videos?” “Many students don’t have access to the Internet” “Flipping just takes an inefficient lesson delivery system (lecture) and transfers it to the home” “Flipping shifts the responsibility for learning from the teacher to the student” (Yes?)

What If Kids Don’t Watch the Videos? How do you react when kids don’t do their homework in the traditional classroom? One teacher suggests that kids who don’t watch the videos complete worksheets or read the chapter while the rest of the class participates in a learning activity Some teachers are lucky and have one or more “student computers” where students can view the video to catch up

Many Students Don’t Have Access Studies have shown that we have overestimated the number of students who have no Internet access There are many students who do not have Internet access to do SCHOOLWORK! Amazingly, students find ways to access the Internet when they want to do something “enjoyable” Let’s come up with solutions for students who truly do not have access

How Teachers Are Adapting Keep the school’s computer lab open before school or after school Record videos on DVD for students to take home (aTube Catcher does this) Save videos on a flash drive to send home with students w/computer but no Internet Students visit the public library or school library

How Teachers Are Adapting Play your video during the first few minutes of class while taking roll and other housekeeping chores If you are recording yourself presenting a PowerPoint, give students a printout of the PPT Have students visit your room before school, during lunch, or after school if you have “student computers” in your room
