4. Definition of a “Flipped” Classroom
An inverse classroom
An upside-down classroom
All homework is done in class; all classwork is done at home
Does NOT require use of online component but is very helpful (especially for S- motivation & T- assessment).

5. Benefits of Flipping A flipped class allows:
more time for student engagement with materials
teacher to answer more questions
online materials and videos to be accessed 24/7
more individualized instruction

6. Drawbacks of Flipping
More preparation time for the teacher (creating videos, screencasts, online discussions)
Students have an initial adjustment period (about 7 weeks)
Technical problems are common
Students must be trained to use new technology
*There are always students who are strongly adverse to CHANGE! Don’t let this deter you! 

7. Considerations When Flipping
1. Don’t use technology for technology’s sake.
Take one step at time when flipping. Consider how students respond and adjust lessons accordingly.
Don’t flip everything! Select modules that are more conducive to flipping!
Expect an adjustment phase for you and the students!

8. Technologies for Flipping
*Screencasting
Google Docs
Voicethread
Padcams (with videorecorders)
Guided internet searches
Video cameras/cell phones
Many more apps like: Show Me!

11. Alternative to Voicethread: Canvas Media Discussions
How many of you love using Voicethread!? I do!!! I love the layout and the possibilities with integrating slideshows from PPT. But, we can do it similarly on Canvas for free now. It’s not as pretty, but its just as effective.
Why use online discussion threads? pronunciation and speaking skills
discussion skills
critical thinking
Grammar re-inforcement

16. Student Excuses? Teacher, I don’t know how to work the technology!

17. Canvas is better! Any Questions?
Canvas is compatible through many mobile and smart devices such as Droid, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
It also supports social learning services such as Google Docs, Skype, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Delicious and Diigo.
