The Flipped Classroom – The Gist Teachers post videos of lessons online in lieu of lessons in the class Students view the videos at home on laptops, computers, tablets, IPods, mobile phones or mobile devices Students spend their class time actively working as opposed to passively sitting Bianca Ní on Twitter

Why Flip your Classroom? Students can learn at their own pace Children become self directed learners - pause, rewind and rewatch videos Weaker children are - no longer passively listening in class - can pause and rewind the teacher - can watch content again and again More able children - can choose a faster pace - can work ahead - learn a valuable lesson in managing time Bianca Ní on Twitter

Why Flip your Classroom? Levels the playing field at home Saves parents struggling to help with homework they don’t understand If parents are not home children are supported by the teacher at home Eliminates children not being able to finish tasks at home Bianca Ní on Twitter

Why Flip your Classroom? More one on one time with the teacher The teacher can spend their class time working one- on-one with the children that need extra help. More one-on-one builds better student-teacher relationships Bianca Ní on Twitter

Why Flip your Classroom? Encourages Mastery In the traditional classroom children are pulled along to the next concept even if they do not get the basics The flipped classroom allows children to stick with a concept until they understand it, they do not have to move forward

Why Flip your Classroom? Addresses Absenteeism (Students & Teachers) Allows for children who -miss classes (learning support, resource) -are out sick / on holidays -are playing matches/representing school -involved in other activities (S.U. / Green Schools) Substitute teachers can use the videos

Why Flip your Classroom? Excellent Diagnostic Tool Using software teachers can easily identify areas - where children are excelling - where children are struggling Students can be grouped easily - mini-lessons - collaborative groups Bianca Ní on Twitter

Why Flip your Classroom? Children Teaching Children Peer tutoring groups No longer rely solely on teacher for knowledge Collaborative groups Meaningful tasks Children can dive right into Bianca Ní on Twitter

Why Flip your Classroom? Involves Families in Learning Family members are watching videos with children Learning alongside children Creates real life discussions about topics Bianca Ní on Twitter

What have I learned so far? We get a lot more work done in lessons... be prepared Discussions tend to be led by the children A higher order of thinking than I had ever envisaged Topics / discussions have more of a real life element Children are no longer listening they are ACTIVE Peer tutoring happens naturally They need me less  …. for prompts & questions Enquiry and problem based learning is invaluable!! Parents engage more with learning Better communication all round – pros & cons To make learning the focus - not the technology Children will take more ownership over their learning My kids are now flipping the flipped classroom Bianca Ní on Twitter

Do Decide on a platform like Edmodo to set assignments and give responses Write to parents to explain the model and be prepared for questions Select or produce material for YOUR children Set specific deadlines Provide access for children who aren’t connected to the internet at home e.g. USB key, re-writable DVDs, or B.Y.O.D. Don’t Expect students to watch just because you tell them to …….set them a task! Assume that because the content was delivered at home that classroom tasks will run smoothly Expect other staff members to agree with the concept Assume that one video is enough for one topic/concept Bianca Ní on Twitter

Where should you start?

What next? Start with discussion of video (clear up misconceptions) Considerable amount of time should be spent training children to view videos effectively Teach children to Take notes Extract key points Record questions Summarize learning Bianca Ní on Twitter

Where do I source my Videos? Pictures are hyperlinks
