Flip Your Classroom
Big tip...start small!
What does Flipped Learning actually mean?
Flipping the Classroom: Explained
Let's boil it down...
Big tip...start small & embrace the mistakes!
Ultimately Flipped Learning can feel really daunting. I was so overwhelmed as ISTE this summer. But the presenters I was most inspired by said exactly that...start SMALL.
- choose a subject you feel comfortable with
- choose a specific skill/lesson in that subject
- don't get caught up in thinking you have to "flip" everything
- you choose what is "flip-able" (ie: what can meaningfully be flipped)
- your daily lessons are not perfect, your videos wont be perfect and that's OK
Flipping 5th
- thought there was great value in flipping how content was delivered
- lectures can be watched at home
- student can come in with questions
- in class students can work whole group and in small groups to move through practice
- teacher can facilitate work and clear up misconceptions on the spot rather than forcing them to fend for themselves at home after an in-school lesson
Flipping in action...mimics what you probably already do before an in class lesson
- know your audience - videos should be 1-2 minutes for every grade level
- determine what skills/concepts you want your kids to take away
- "script" your lecture
- model
- guided practice
- independent practice
