How to flip the classroom | Flipped Institute Flipping is easy – and with a little thought and planning, teachers can use the flipped model to create engaging learning experiences for their students. This section covers the nuts and bolts of flipping – from creating videos, to introducing the flipped concept, to practical ideas for using class time differently. What are teachers saying? As an English teacher, I have several teaching concepts going at once, so flipping works well for me. I may have kids watch a lesson at home to learn about literary devices in a book we are reading in class. Then the next day, they can point them out to me as we read. The flipped classroom is about making sure that the "voice" most often heard in the classroom is that of the student, not the teacher.
iPads in schools! They just play games! | IPAD 4 SCHOOLS 20th Century pedagogy + iPads = Gaming So, you’re in your classroom and annoyed that the kids are playing games on the iPads. You have devised a strategy and at random intervals, you ask them to double-click the ‘Home’ button to see the last apps used. Great! Well done on controlling the situation so they can get on with: writing their notes;Reading their e-textbook;completing their essay or‘Researching’ on the Internet. The only step forward you’ve really seen is the ability to use that Shakespeare app or Dissecting Frog app. The parents too, have complained that all they seem to see is game playing and maybe your school is considering limiting the apps allowed on the devices. Well done on introducing iPads. Now you have introduced a radically new and powerful learning device, you need to update your pedagogy to match it. Why are these issues the most important? Like the iPad, learning is personal This is not what the iPad was designed for. Like this: Like Loading... Related In "21C Learning"
Why I Gave Up Flipped Instruction A little over a year ago I wrote a post about the flipped classroom, why I loved it, and how I used it. I have to admit, the flip wasn’t the same economic and political entity then that it is now. And in some ways, I think that matters. Here’s the thing. When I wrote that post, I imagined the flip as a stepping stone to a fully realized inquiry/PBL classroom. What is the flip? The flipped classroom essentially reverses traditional teaching. When I first encountered the flip, it seemed like a viable way to help deal with the large and sometimes burdensome amount of content included in my senior Biology & Chemistry curricula. My flipped experiments I first encountered the flip in a blog post. My students loved the idea of trying something that very few other students were doing. We began to shift As I shifted my classroom from teacher-centred to student-centred, my students began to do lots of their their own research. What was my role? The flip faded away The flip is gone for good No.
Cómo aplicar la pedagogía inversa o flipped classroom en diez pasos La pedagogía inversa o flipped classroom es un nuevo método que propone dar la vuelta a la clase tradicional e invertir el orden en el proceso de aprendizaje. Frente al modelo de enseñanza habitual, donde el profesor explica la lección en clase y los alumnos escuchan y realizan los deberes en su casa, la flipped classroom concede a los alumnos la responsabilidad de revisar los contenidos teóricos en casa, para que luego puedan resolver sus dudas y trabajar los conceptos en clase de forma individual o colaborativa. Esta metodología tiene muchas ventajas. Te mostramos cómo aplicarla en el aula mediante un sencillo video tutorial. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

The Ultimate Guide To Apple’s Presence In Education Added by Jeff Dunn on 2012-08-31 All eyes are on education right now. Whether it’s in the political theater or the venture capitalists, everyone has set their sights on the future leaders of tomorrow. Some companies, like Apple , have long realized the potential of this demographic and have specifically targeted them with iPads, iPod Touches, and other devices . In an effort to share exactly how Apple is targeting students, MDG Advertising whipped up a thought-provoking infographic. Here’s the rundown of the key facts and figures they uncovered: Smart devices are having a real impact on both literacy and learning levels. Awesome Apple logo via DeviantArt Comments are closed.
The 5 Most Overhyped Trends in Education « Looking Up For your perusal, a completely subjective list of five things happening right now in education that are getting lots of notice, energy and resources but don’t deserve it, and why I think we need to reconsider our collective love affair with them: 1. Flipping The Class: What is it? What’s The Problem? The problems with flipping are well explained in “The Flip: End of a Love Affair“. The short form is: It entrenches homeworkIt depends on lecturing, a one way transfer of information to the student from the teacher, rather than allowing the student to construct their own understandings and meaning by interacting with the information.It doesn’t account for students that don’t have the resources to learn at home (e.g. technology, family support, etc.) What is it? What’s the problem? I’ve written before about the problems with BYOD. It’s inequitable. 3. What is it? 4) 1 to 1: What is it? The “Maine Learning Technology Initiative” has raised the stakes considerably. 5) Parent Engagement: What is it?
Flipped classroom ¿Cuáles son sus ventajas? ¿Cuál es su origen?¿Qué necesitamos para implementarlo? Esta entrada sobre flipped classroom ha atraído muchísimas visitas al blog en los inicios de este año y va a llegar a las 13.000 visitas. Por ello, hemos celebrado las 210.000 visitas al blog Profesor 3.0 con una versión reloaded & greatly improved de esta entrada. La flipped classroom no es el “salón de clases flipado” como una traducción literal y descuidada podría sugerir. Flipped classroom es clase inversa o "al revés" donde Flip significa dar la vuelta a la clase y esto se refleja en que lo que tradicionalmente se hacía de tarea en casa, ahora en el flipped classroom se hace en la clase y lo que tradicionalmente se explicaba en clase, ahora en el flipped classroom el alumno lo recibe fuera del aula por medio de videos, podcasts y documentos electrónicos. A la acción de realizar esta inversión se le denomina en argot flipper (el de los que enseñan por medio de flipped clasroom) como flippear la clase.

iTeaching: The New Pedagogy (How the iPad is Inspiring Better Ways of Teaching) On that magical day when you got home from the iStore, peeled away the plastic shrink-wrap and opened up that white box to reveal the gadget that would change your life, you very likely experienced a moment of anger or confusion over the absence of a manual to tell you what to do. As you know by now, this was no accident. Here’s why: Apple made the iPad so intuitive and easy to use that almost anyone could pick one up and start using it right away.Because the iPad is touch based, you are encouraged to get hands on from the start. You learn by doing – literally – engaging different parts of your brain as you go. You have to let go of the mentality of reading the book before you go out and try. Giving you a manual would very likely diminish the personal enjoyment of learning about the iPad. This post was inspired by the #ipadagogy hashtag I came across recently on Twitter. Here’s how: We need to hide the ‘manual’. Switch it on, play, customise, tinker, collaborate, personalise and learn!

Scaling Flipped Learning Part 1: Technology Strategy – Flipped Learning Simplified A 2014 study indicates that 46% of U.S. principals expect that new teachers to the profession should already know how to flip a class upon graduation from a teacher training program. There is also a growing body of research which demonstrates that flipped learning is showing significant growth in student achievement, satisfaction, and teacher satisfaction. As schools begin to implement the model, what kinds and type of support should school leaders provide? This past year I worked with a group of teachers from a variety of schools which was implementing flipped learning into their classes. I was with them three to four times during the year and got to know their successes and challenges. Several of them had great results and are saying they can never go back. I have pondered their situation and have come to the conclusion that we need a more systemic approach to flipped learning. Technology Technology infrastructure matters.

Developing the Use of Pupil Blogging Through the Use of a Class Learning Wall. Context When we knew that we would be using iPods in year 6 on a 1:1 basis we began to plan and discuss how best to maximise impact. One thing we immediately recognised as being central to all of our work was the development and frequent use of a blog space for each pupil. Other examples of our Learning Walls can be found on our pupils' blog ( How it works Over the summer stationery supplies were restocked in terms of pins, staplers, backing paper etc and the wall spaces were labelled with pupil names. E-safety Maintaining that the pupils stay safe online is paramount. The Digital Leaders at the school used an app called Videoscribe HD to explain the blogging rules. Posterous The pupils each have the Posterous app on their iPods. QR Codes Each pupil has their own unique QR Code, which links to their own blog space on the Year 6 blog. The children can also use other QR Codes on their wall space if it has been use in lessons.
New Flipped vs Old Flipped IPads in classrooms offer such a new learning environment that they demand a shift from the idea of students being passive receivers of learning and demand real engagement and learning ownership by the students themselves. However, even the original 90s design of the Flipped Classroom designed by pioneers like Eric Mazur is still teacher centred. Although students are individually watching the video lessons in their own time and at their own pace and then arrive in class with more specific questions, the approach is still driven by the teacher and focused on the linear course of study that the teacher designs to start at point A, travel through to point Z and then sit an exam in that specific content. This is the Flipped Classroom that receives attacks from teachers as just “lecturing in disguise.” This original version of Flipped Classroom is an improvement on the one-size-fits-all traditional lecturing but does not encourage students to take full responsibility for their learning.
Scaling Flipped Learning Part 2: Shifting Pedagogy – Flipped Learning Simplified Individual teachers across the world who are flipping their classes, are often working in isolation and small pockets. However, as the movement has grown, there is an increasing need to think systemically about how to scale flipped learning. I believe three systems need to change for flipped learning to flourish on a large scale in a school or district: technological systems, pedagogical systems, and evaluation methodologies. Good practice encourages student-teacher contact.Good practice encourages cooperation among students.Good practice encourages active learning.Good practice gives prompt feedback.Good practice emphasizes time on task.Good practice communicates high expectations.Good practice respects diverse talents and ways of knowing. Ms. So how can schools and systems scale flipped learning from the perspective of pedagogy? Mindset Change – For a large scale adoption of flipped learning to occur, teachers must believe that active learning is superior to passive learning.
