The Flipped Classroom Guide for Teachers As technology becomes increasingly common in instruction at all levels of education from kindergarten to college, the modern classroom is changing. The traditional teacher-centered classroom is falling away to give students a student-centered classroom where collaborative learning is stressed. One way educators are effectively utilizing online learning and changing the way they teach is by flipping their classrooms. What is a Flipped Classroom? High school teachers Aaron Sanns and Jonathan Bergman were the first to flip their classrooms. In order to watch this video you need to have advertising cookies enabled. While a traditional classroom is teacher-centered, a Fipped Classroom is student-centered. The Flipped Classroom model might sound like new-age mumbo jumbo to you, but it has been proven to be effective even in the most difficult classrooms. Unlike the traditional classroom model, a Flipped Classroom puts students in charge of their own learning. Action? Homebase Make work easier.
My Favorite WSQ Please see the "revisited" version of this post, published in July of 2016, by clicking here.*Please read my WSQing page for more details, descriptions, and workflow* A "WSQ" (pronounced wisk) in my class is what we call "homework" in my flipped classroom. [read an update on the WSQ after using it for several weeks in my classroom here] W - Watch Students must watch the video for the assigned lesson and take notes in their SSS packets (this stands for "Student Success Sheets" and I have them for each unit/chapter) I have created for them. Some of my very high achieving students have asked "Do I have to watch the video" and under certain circumstances, I say "no", but you still have to complete the notes on the SSS packet. A few issues I am already noticing with this is that there are still important things that I say about the concepts that students miss if they don't watch the video. S - Summary Students have to write a summary of what they watched in the video.
Have 'summative' assessments become obsolete? We hear the terms 'formative' and 'summative' assessments all the time in schools. As educators, we learned about the differences while in college in our education preparation courses. We now talk all the time about using assessments to 'drive' our instruction and provide guidance on where students are in the learning process. I'm struggling though with how these terms are actually being implemented in classrooms with real teachers and real students... To ensure we are all on the same page here with definitions, here is an image: Formative assessments are a part of the learning process while summative assessments are an end to the learning process. So, if we are formatively assessing students frequently throughout the learning process and constantly getting temperature checks on where they are in the learning process, we will eventually have students all over the place in terms of their learning. So my questions are simple... So, in closing, have 'summative' assessments become obsolete?
The Flipped Classroom Model: A Full Picture Due to Khan Academy’s popularity, the idea of the flipped classroom has gained press and credibility within education circles. Briefly, the Flipped Classroom as described by Jonathan Martin is: Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating. Classrooms become laboratories or studios, and yet content delivery is preserved. Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating.

A COMPLETE CYCLE of FLIPPED LEARNING by laura mammoli on Prezi KEYCONET - EU RECOMMENDATION on KEY COMPETENCES What is KeyCoNet? KeyCoNet, funded under the European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme, is a growing network of more than 100 organizations representing educational stakeholder groups from 30 European countries, focused on improving the implementation of key competences in school education. The Network's remit: KeyCoNet is a network focused on identifying and analysing emergent strategies in implementing key competences into education reforms, and on this basis aims to produce recommendations for policy and practice. The aim is to identify, analyze and map key competence development initiatives and their implementation strategies across Europe, and to effectively impact on policy and practice by increasing the network's influence through dissemination and enlarging its membership. An operational definition of a key competence: Hoskins B., Deakin Crick R., (2010) Competences for learning to learn and active citizenship: different currencies or two sides of the same coin?
F.C. METHODOLOGY What is Flipped Classroom Methodology? The flipped classroom methodology of learning has shown us that technology will never remove the need for classroom-based learning. Instead, it will help it to evolve in exciting new ways. Here, we show you some practical ways that GoConqr can help support changes in the classroom. The flipped classroom methodology is a form of blended learning that focuses on getting students to engage more with their learning material. How is it Effective? Educators who’ve used the flipped classroom methodology believe that it supports active rather than passive learning as students are afforded the time they need to process information before they enter the classroom. While the standard learning model uses more time engaging lower cognitive functions such as receiving information and understanding it, the flipped classroom methodology approach allows educators to spend more time on higher cognitive applications such as analysis, evaluation and application.

What Is Blended Learning? | LMS by Mindflash Login Login What Is Blended Learning? Blended learning is a term increasingly used to describe the way e-learning is being combined with traditional classroom methods and independent study to create a new, hybrid teaching methodology. No single, reliable definition of blended learning exists, or even a universal agreement on the term itself. A learning model in three parts There is a general consensus among education innovators that blended learning has three primary components: In-person classroom activities facilitated by a trained educator.Online learning materials, often including pre-recorded lectures given by that same instructor.Structured independent study time guided by the material in the lectures and skills developed during the classroom experience. A course created in a blended learning model uses the classroom time for activities that benefit the most from direct interaction.
