1. “Flipping Out” with TI nSpire Technology Robyn Poulsen T3 Regional Instructor Lake Placid High School

2. Who is Robyn Poulsen? O Teacher of HS math for 20 years O Last 14 years in Lake Placid, NY O T3 Regional Instructor O Began “Flipping” my Algebra 2 & Trig classes in 2012-2013 year.

3. Why I Flipped O Increase student contact time. O Easier to differentiate instruction. O Need time for interractive activities in class. O College Readiness

4. Part I The Student’s Experience

5. AT HOME WORK: Students arrive in class having done the homework the night before: (LOG IN to MATH XL)MATH XL WATCH the video (taking good notes)video (DO the related QUESTIONS on Math XL)

6. LOG IN TO NAVIGATOR SYSTEM upon entering class, and immediately complete the Warm Up (“First Five Five”) “PRE-QUIZ”

7. IN CLASS WORK: 1.Practice Problems within Classwork Packet. 2.Activity on nSpire - Application of Function Composition from www.education.ti.comwww.education.ti.com math nSpired 3.CLOSURE: “Ticket Out the Door” document on nSpire.

8. Part II The Teacher’s Experience

9. I make all of my own videos O via Camtasia Studio Software http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html THE VIDEOS

10. How do I get my students to actually watch the videos? via MATH XL

11. What if my students don’t have internet access at home? O During Study Halls, part of Lunch, Before/After School: O Students can use computer in my room, in the library media center, in one of two computer labs. O Can burn DVDs upon request. O Most, if not all, students have some sort of phone that will allow them to watch videos.

12. IN CLASS WORK Worksheets that are “leveled” for Differentiated Instruction “MUST – SHOULD – COULD” I create all of these Modified from former homework worksheets Our students do not have textbooks

13. IN CLASS WORK Time for Hands-On / Interractive / Meaningful Activities from sources like: * education.ti.com education.ti.com * math countsmath counts * Dan Meyer 3-ActsDan Meyer 3-Acts * Odyssey of the MindOdyssey of the Mind

14. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS The TI nSpire Navigator System allows me to constantly assess how my students are doing in class *Screen Capture *Live Presenter *Quick Polls *Pre-prepared Self-Check documents *Pre-prepared Study Card documents

15. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS Math XL Math XL allows me to check how my students did on homework BEFORE they enter class. If many students have struggled on the same question, I immediately adjust my lesson plan to address the problem & reteach as needed. If only one or two students have struggled, I sit with them individually during that class time to help them learn the material.

16. Still INTERESTED in FLIPPING? My advice: O Start the year off right!

17. Get Administrative Support

18. PARENT COMMUNICATION *Letter sent at end of summer *Details my Flipped Classroom *Parents are asked to email me after they’ve read it.
