THE Questions
1. What about kids without technology?2. How do you ensure kids watch?3. How do you grade? What about tests?4. What about textbooks?5. What about stragglers?6. How is your lab safe?
The Pioneers
• Aaron Sams and Jon Bergmann• Asked one question: – What is the best use of face-to-face time with our
students?
Today’s Classroom
The Flipped Classroom
What the Flipped Classroom is NOT:
• A synonym for online videos• Replacing teachers with videos• An online course• Students working without structure• Students staring at a computer screen• Students working in isolation
What is the Flipped Classroom?
Flipped learning occurs when we move direct instruction from the group learning space into
the individual learning space. Ramsay Musallam
What the Flipped Classroom IS:
• A means to increase interaction and personalized contact time between students and teachers
• An environment where students take responsibility for their own learning
• A classroom where the teacher is transformed into a learning facilitator
• A blending of direct instruction with constructivist learning
• A class where students do not miss valuable instruction when they are absent
The Old Process
Direct Instruction Practice Apply Assess Remediate
Bloom’s Taxonomy
Bloom’s Taxonomy-Flipped
How do you know what to flip?
• Start at the bottom of the flipped Bloom’s pyramid. –Vocabulary–Basic equations/formulas– Theories– Labeled diagrams–Rules/procedures/processes
Flip Class 101
• A great place to start• Class moves together through content– Assign videos to watch as homework, work on
typical homework in class– Complete labs as a class– Everybody takes the test on the same day– Everybody moves at the same pace
Getting Started1. Clear it with administration2. Letter to parents/students3. Set up website-sophia.org, weebly.com, wikispaces.com4. Use your curriculum guide (Scope and Sequence) to plan
videos/lessons5. Record videos (1-1.5 min per grade level at most)– Doceri, Educreations, Camtasia, Snag-It, Screen Flow, Jing,
Screencast-o-matic, Screener, Screen Chomp, Replay Note, Show Me, Explain Everything
6. Publish videos7. Show students how to watch the videos and take notes8. Labs, Tests, Projects, etc…
What are the Benefits?
• Independent learners• Differentiation• No gaps• No place to hide
THE Questions…Answered
1. What about kids without technology?2. How do you ensure kids watch?3. How do you grade? What about tests?4. What about textbooks?5. What about stragglers?6. How is your lab safe?
Why Flipping Works
• Individualized learning• Personalizes impersonal topics• Requires students to take an active role in
their own education
So is this THE answer??
Be stubborn in your vision, but flexible in your plans.
