Flipped Classroom: The Full Picture Volete capire meglio cosa fa in classe un docente capovolto? Vi proponiamo alcune attività esemplificative che possono dare un’idea del metodo a chi non lo ha mai usato ed un aiuto a chi lo sta già usando. 1) Lavorare sui video Se vogliamo che i nostri studenti apprendano efficacemente dai video che assegniamo come lavoro a casa, dobbiamo insegnare loro come si studia un video. Poiché i ragazzi non hanno esperienza su come si prende appunti da un video, proponiamo semplici esercizi che abbiamo questo obiettivo. Il primo esercizio potrebbe essere il seguente: Guàrdati un certo video almeno un paio di volte, dividilo in 3 brevissime puntate e scrivi quale titolo daresti a ciascuna puntata. Mettete i ragazzi a gruppi di 3 o 4 per fare questo lavoro e vedrete che consegneranno la prima volta lavori confusi e illogici. Qualsiasi video va bene. “La buona scuola” di Matteo Renzi proprio perché tratta argomenti di scottante attualità ci costringe anche ad essere distaccati e obiettivi. Per ogni titolo si assegnano da 1 a 3 punti.

Flipped Classroom: The Full Picture for Higher Education The Flipped Classroom, as most know, has become quite the buzz in education. Its use in higher education has been given a lot of press recently. The purpose of this post is to: Provide background for this model of learning with a focus on its use in higher education.Identify some problems with its use and implementation that if not addressed, could become just a fading fad.Propose a model for implementation based on an experiential cycle of learning model. Background About the Flipped Classroom This first section provides information from various articles that describe the flipped classroom, and how it is being discussed and used in educational settings. In its simplest terms, the flipped classroom is about viewing and/or listening to lectures during one’s own time which frees up face-to-face class time for experiential exercises, group discussion, and question and answer sessions. It’s called “the flipped classroom.” Sal Khan, of the Khan Academy, states: Personal Experiences Basic Tenets
cecchinato.pdf What is a flipped classroom? How do you flip a classroom? Flipped Classroom A "flipped" classroom is where the students receive instruction at home by watching video lessons, and then they come to school to ready to apply the concepts. When I first heard about this, I thought "Wow, that's great for the older students... but not so much for our little elementary kids." I couldn't have been more wrong. Edmodo This year I really started using Edmodo. My students describe it as "Kid Facebook". They create a generic Avatar (profile picture), earn badges, list a favorite quote, as well as display their favorite learning style and career goals. Assignments I give Khan Academy videos for them to review at home. They are working for badges that stay on their profile- bragging rights. I also post a link to PearsonSuccessNet (Part of Scott Foresman/Reading Street/Envision Math) for them to work at home. Safety The students cannot directly contact one another.

Flipped Classroom Full Picture: An Example Lesson The flipped classroom, as it is currently being described and publicized, is simply recording the didactic content information via videos, having students view these as homework, and then using class time to further discuss these ideas. Harvard Professor Chris Dede stated in his Global Education 2011 keynote in response to a question directed about the flipped classroom . . . I think that the flipped classroom is an interesting idea if you want to do learning that is largely based on presentation. You use presentation outside of the classroom. Then you do your understanding of the presentation and further steps from the presentation inside the classroom. As I describe in The Flipped Classroom: The Full Picture, I believe, as Chris Dede does, that the problem with the flipped classroom is that the major focus is on the didactic presentation of information, that it is still at the center of the learning experience. The following lesson describes a type of flipped classroom. Part One
