Compare the traditional model and the flipped model? Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter
What does it look like? Bergman & Sams (2012) Flip Your Classroom Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter
The Flipped Classroom – The Gist • Teachers post videos of lessons online in lieu of lessons in the class • Students view the videos at home on laptops, computers, tablets, IPods, mobile phones or mobile devices • Students spend their class time actively working as opposed to passively sitting Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter
Why Flip your Classroom? • Students can learn at their own pace • Children become self directed learners - pause, rewind and rewatch videos • Weaker children are • - no longer passively listening in class • - can pause and rewind the teacher • - can watch content again and again • More able children • - can choose a faster pace • - can work ahead • - learn a valuable lesson in managing time Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter
Why Flip your Classroom? Levels the playing field at home • Saves parents struggling to help with homework they don’t understand • If parents are not home children are supported by the teacher at home • Eliminates children not being able to finish tasks at home Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter
Why Flip your Classroom? • More one on one time with the teacher • The teacher can spend their class time working one-on-one with the children that need extra help. • More one-on-one builds better student-teacher relationships Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter
Why Flip your Classroom? • Encourages Mastery • In the traditional classroom children are pulled along to the next concept even if they do not get the basics • The flipped classroom allows children to stick with a concept until they understand it, they do not have to move forward
Why Flip your Classroom? • Addresses Absenteeism (Students & Teachers) • Allows for children who • miss classes (learning support, resource) • are out sick / on holidays • are playing matches/representing school • involved in other activities (S.U. / Green Schools) • Substitute teachers can use the videos
Why Flip your Classroom? Excellent Diagnostic Tool • Using software teachers can easily identify areas • - where children are excelling • - where children are struggling • Students can be grouped easily • - mini-lessons • - collaborative groups Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter
Why Flip your Classroom? Children Teaching Children • Peer tutoring groups • No longer rely solely on teacher for knowledge • Collaborative groups • Meaningful tasks • Children can dive right into Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter
Why Flip your Classroom? • Involves Families in Learning • Family members are watching videos with children • Learning alongside children • Creates real life discussions about topics Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter
What have I learned so far? • We get a lot more work done in lessons... be prepared • Discussions tend to be led by the children • A higher order of thinking than I had ever envisaged • Topics / discussions have more of a real life element • Children are no longer listening they are ACTIVE • Peer tutoring happens naturally • They need me less …. for prompts & questions • Enquiry and problem based learning is invaluable!! • Parents engage more with learning • Better communication all round – pros & cons • To make learning the focus - not the technology • Children will take more ownership over their learning • My kids are now flipping the flipped classroom Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter
Do • Decide on a platform like Edmodo to set assignments and give responses • Write to parents to explain the model and be prepared for questions • Select or produce material for YOURchildren • Set specific deadlines • Provide access for children who aren’t connected to the internet at home e.g. USB key, re-writable DVDs, or B.Y.O.D. • Don’t • Expect students to watch just because you tell them to …….set them a task! • Assume that because the content was delivered at home that classroom tasks will run smoothly • Expect other staff members to agree with the concept • Assume that one video is enough for one topic/concept Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter
Where shouldyou start? INTERNET SAFETY Hyperlink in pic
What next? • Start with discussion of video • (clear up misconceptions) • Considerable amount of time should be spent training children to view videos effectively • Teach children to • Take notes • Extract key points • Record questions • Summarize learning Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter
