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

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

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 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.

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” We must come up with solutions for students who truly do not have

access.

Keep the school’s computer lab open before school or after school Record videos on DVD for students to take home. Save videos on a flash drive to send home with students w/computer but

no Internet Students visit the public library or school library

Flipping Yes, lecture is inefficient
