Flipped classroom empowers students : Schools Think of most any classroom, from primary to high school and through college and you’ll likely picture one thing: neat rows of desks facing the same direction. Maybe instead of desks there are tables, but the seating grid system likely persists. This arrangement has been a cornerstone of learning environments for 100s of years, and yet, when else is life so neatly arranged? And how does this orderliness prepare a student for the increased freedoms of high school and college, or the self direction required by many jobs? One Chadron Primary School classroom is shaking up the status quo by offering an array of seating options, and empowering students to choose where to sit day to day and sometimes assignment to assignment. Libby Uhing’s classroom has the feel of second grade, a white board, colorful decor, big bold words, and stacks of books. “Sometimes at this age we don’t give kids enough credit for what they can make work when we give them the power to choose,” Uhing said.
The Flipped Classroom™ Is A Lie On Schoology, I took part in a group discussion started by a teacher who had flipped his classroom. He seemed like a great guy. He seemed creative, hardworking, and personally invested in his students’ success. I felt really bad for him. Where he went wrong, I think, is where many teachers go wrong in education: they think implementing something in their class is a guarantee. My classroom is flipped, but it is not a The Flipped Classroom™. “The Flipped Classroom: A new method of teaching is turning the traditional classroom on its head!” This is even more detrimental in a flipped classroom because now the kid can’t participate in that really cool activity you planned. Many teachers fail at flipping before they even begin because they make a big deal about flipping their classroom. So what is flipping compared to The Flipped Classroom™? The videos stay up all year because if a student was absent, or, more likely, needs a refresher, they can watch the video again, over and over.
3 Tips to Make Flipped Classrooms Effective 3 Tips to Make Flipped Classrooms Effective Flipped classrooms have become a concept in today’s education environment. One can see the impact that flipped classrooms are posing on classroom learning and teacher-student relationship. Today’s classroom is focussed towards learning rather than giving out information. To make flipped classrooms effective, students and teachers will need to understand the importance of inclusive learning and interactive environment. Difficult Things Dealt in Schools Flipped classrooms make learning impactful and deep because the difficult subjects or things are taken care of the teachers at schools. Removing Misconceptions Flipped classrooms are created with the idea of removing all sorts of miconceptions that the student may have regarding certain concepts. Ask Questions Before the Class Let’s say you have served your student with a video content that they have to go through at home.
5 Techniques To Encourage Students to Consume Flipped or Blended Learning Content by admin One question that usually arises in most discussions about flipped teaching is, “How can I help ensure that students will watch or listen to the learning content that I assign them?” While it is always hoped that well designed content will be enough to engage students, sometimes it just isn’t enough to get students to ‘do their (digital) homework’. Fortunately, there are quite a few ways to encourage the consumption of the content that you assigned them. Here’s a few ideas worth trying (you may note that some of these ideas are not much different from the things you might do to encourage the completion of regular text reading assignments). A Notes Outline: Require students to complete a notes outline you give them, or to create their own. Online Discussion Forums or Reflective Blogging: Require students to participate in an online discussion forum. by
Flipping the Classroom Printable Version “Flipping the classroom” has become something of a buzzword in the last several years, driven in part by high profile publications in The New York Times (Fitzpatrick, 2012); The Chronicle of Higher Education (Berrett, 2012); and Science (Mazur, 2009); In essence, “flipping the classroom” means that students gain first exposure to new material outside of class, usually via reading or lecture videos, and then use class time to do the harder work of assimilating that knowledge, perhaps through problem-solving, discussion, or debates. Bloom's Taxonomy (Revised)In terms of Bloom’s revised taxonomy (2001), this means that students are doing the lower levels of cognitive work (gaining knowledge and comprehension) outside of class, and focusing on the higher forms of cognitive work (application, analysis, synthesis, and/or evaluation) in class, where they have the support of their peers and instructor.

Flipping Awesome! Enabling Mastery Learning in the Flipped Classroom Have you every found yourself pretty far along in teaching a course only to realize that many students are struggling with a new topic because they really didn’t get the foundational material that came before it (maybe I should ask, “who hasn’t”)? You’re not alone. So many subjects – math, music, foreign languages, science, English … and the list goes on, require students to understand topic 1 before they can properly grasp topic 2. So what can you do to help ensure that many students don’t fall behind as you have to keep moving forward in order to stay on track? Enter Mastery Learning Mastery Learning is, simply put, an approach to teaching that requires students to attain a pre-defined level of proficiency in a topic before they can move on to the next topic in a course (Mastery Learning is sometimes considered synonymous with Competency Based Learning, and they are certainly quite similar, but they are not necessarily one and the same). by

Modifying the Flipped Classroom: The "In-Class" Version So. You've tried flipping your class, and it didn't go well. Or you've heard about flipping and want to try the approach, but you're pretty sure it won't work in your school. Don't give up yet -- with a slight twist, flipping might be possible for you after all. Flipped classrooms -- where direct instruction happens via video at home, and "homework" takes place in class -- are all the rage right now, and for good reason. But successful flipping has one big catch -- if it's going to work, the at-home learning absolutely must happen. Arranging access before and after schoolLending out devicesSending recorded lectures home on flash drives or DVDs These are all workable solutions. Modifying the Flipped Classroom Concept None of these problems should stop us from trying, but there's another way to apply the flipped model without the problems associated with sending the work home. The teacher records a lecture. An In-Class Flip works like this. This video shows you how to do it: Advantages
249 Bloom's Taxonomy Verbs For Critical Thinking Bloom’s Taxonomy’s verbs–also know as power verbs or thinking verbs–are extraordinarily powerful instructional planning tools. In fact, next to the concept of backwards-design and power standards, they are likely the most useful tool a teacher-as-learning-designer has access to. Why? They can be used for curriculum mapping, assessment design, lesson planning, personalizing and differentiating learning, and almost any other “thing” a teacher–or student–has to do. For example, if a standard asks students to infer and demonstrate an author’s position using evidence from the text, there’s a lot built into that kind of task. Though the chart below reads left to right, it’s ideal to imagine it as a kind of incline, with Knowledge at the bottom, and Create at the top. 249 Bloom’s Taxonomy Verbs For Critical Thinking
Flippat klassrum Det har kommit en hel del mail och frågor om hur jag praktiskt gör olika flippfilmer. Här kommer några exempel: 1. Det absolut enklaste tipset är att hitta en redan färdig instruktionsfilm på Youtube, men även powerpoints och andra dokument du använt kan du spela in. Därefter använder du skärminspelningsverktyget www.screencastomatic.com . Detta fungerar från både PC och Mac men inte från ipaden. 2. www.powtoon.com kan du från datorn gör animerade egna filmer. 2. 3. Glöm nu inte att flippat klassrum är så mycket mer än att göra instruktionsfilmer. Fortsatt trevligt sommarlov! Critical and Creative Thinking - Bloom's Taxonomy What are critical thinking and creative thinking? What's Bloom's taxonomy and how is it helpful in project planning? How are the domains of learning reflected in technology-rich projects? Benjamin Bloom (1956) developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior in learning. This taxonomy contained three overlapping domains: the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. Critical Thinking Critical thinking involves logical thinking and reasoning including skills such as comparison, classification, sequencing, cause/effect, patterning, webbing, analogies, deductive and inductive reasoning, forecasting, planning, hypothesizing, and critiquing. Creative thinking involves creating something new or original. Knowledge Examples: dates, events, places, vocabulary, key ideas, parts of diagram, 5Ws Comprehension Examples: find meaning, transfer, interpret facts, infer cause & consequence, examples Application Examples: use information in new situations, solve problems Analysis Synthesis Evaluation
Flippade klassrum har både för- och nackdelar Några av skälen som lärarna uppger är: vi får mer tid att använda tillsammans med studenter och elever för att diskutera autentiska frågor. Studenterna involveras mer aktivt i lärandeprocessen och metoden bidrar till reflektion både i och utanför klassrummet. Om någon har missat ett undervisningspass finns det möjlighet att ta igen en del via nätet och studenterna kan i större utsträckning arbeta med utrustning som bara finns tillgängligt i klassrummen. Sist men inte minst – studenterna gillar det! Video, klassrummet och video igen Ett vanligt tillvägagångssätt för lärarna i studien är att de publicerar en introduktionsvideo på YouTube för att presentera ett praktikfall med frågor som ska besvaras innan klassen möts. Mer hemarbete Att flippa undervisningen har både för- och nackdelar. Den första handlar om motstånd hos eleverna till att ägna mer tid åt hemarbete med risk för att de kommer oförberedda till undervisningen. Mer öppna till samarbet Flippa klassrummet en gång till
