WHY FLIP YOUR CLASSROOM? Kate Gimber Uses the Fizz Method No repetition Great way to differentiate

Slide 6

FIZZ METHOD Best for review Take, notes on small sliding white boards, teacher must appear in video, and model hand written notes Can also use chart paper Can use the SMART board, watch the lighting Concise

Slide 7

BENEFITS More class time to interact with students Analytics can help you track student activity Good feedback for data points and conferences Improved relationships Think of it as a Teacher in my pocket Builds school community Better relationship with parents

Slide 8

Flipped Learning Network 7-8 minutes is a good length for a video Holds students attention

Slide 9

SELF DIRECTED LEARNING Separate the teaching of content knowledge and cognitive application Students learn content knowledge on their own with the teacher acting as coach. Teachers lead cognitive application activities during class for deeper understanding

Slide 10

DOES IT WORK Preliminary work says YES! According to the Flipped Learning Network (2012), membership on its social media site rose from 2,500 teachers in 2011 to 9,000 teachers in 2012. In one survey of 453 teachers who flipped their classrooms, 67 percent reported increased test scores, with particular benefits for students in advanced placement classes and students with special needs; 80 percent reported improved student attitudes; and 99 percent said they would flip their classrooms again next year (Flipped Learning Network, 2012)

Slide 11

EXAMPLES Most common is teacher records short video to watch outside of class and use class time to practice skills and create work products Record short videos to watch in class Great to collaborate with teachers based on strength in different subject areas Allows teacher to stay focused on content rather than student interruption Create a play list on YouTube

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IN THE CLASSROOM? Preliminary Assessments for accountability Warm up activity Review the notes Discuss video Answer questions Stimulate with Questioning Video they watched Answer/Discuss questions they wrote Class Activities Practice problems (Math & Science) Students are doing their traditional homework in class Pull out those deeper levels of questioning

Slide 18

Active Learning Hands on experiments or modeled science labs Analyzing another groups data Performance exercises Role-playing o Benefits Supervised inquiry-based learning Engagement with knowledge in an active way Cements knowledge by tying to actual sensory experiences Its Fun! Discussions Debate Socratic Seminar o Benefits Practicing presentation skills Practicing the ability to create an argument Building social bridges between members of the class

Slide 19

PROJECT BASED LEARNING Project Based Learning Project Based Learning Allows time for collaboration with peers Gives students opportunities to do many presentations in front of their peers Functions as a large scale lab engendering active, social, and creative learning in a group over a longer period of time

Slide 20

HOW TO GET YOUR KIDS STARTED Teach your expectations Flip the flip Model Active viewing Show how to play video Begin with objectives Note taking Show them how to take the notes Set the expectations Check for understanding

Slide 21

WHAT SHOULD THE KIDS DO AT HOME ? While watching the video ? Guided notes/skeleton notes Google Notes Google Form Cornell notes Graphic organizers Free response

Slide 23

Watch it NOW! Individual students or whole class Benefit: Insures everyone is prepared Issue: Requires time/restructuring of class Watch it LATER! Benefit: Doesnt disrupt class time Issues: Students are less prepared Harder to insure they watched the video Create a No Opt Out Culture

Slide 24

WHAT ABOUT OUR SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS? According to the developers website, the app allows students without vocal capabilities to speak by tapping buttons that represent words or phrases, access grammar with verb and noun inflections, and transition to literacy with word prediction in typing view. And because students use the app on their lightweight, portable devices, they can do their flipped classroom pre-work from home and come to class the next day prepared to tackle their lessons. Rather than teach a subject and then move on to anotherwhether or not everyone in the class has "gotten" the materialin a flipped classroom each student focuses on mastery at his own pace and advances when he is confident and ready.
