Flipped classroom Flips----no flops Mary Lou Duffy College of Education Exceptional Student Education- Jupiter
What is does flipping mean? • Buzz word in Higher Education • Reversing what happens in and out of the classroom • Watch videos/podcasts of lectures outside of class • Do problem solving “homework” activities inside of class
What does it really mean? • Shifting of the responsibility for learning from the instructor to the students • Encourages active participation • Increasing interaction between teachers and students around content learning
Basis for Flipped classrooms • Science of pedagogy and learning • Foundation in factual knowledge • Grasp of context • Organizing info for retrieval • Metacognitive skills for monitoring • How People Learn (Bransford, Brown & Cocking, 2004)
Some topics are better than others for flipping 3 general categories for flipping
When to FLIP • Looking at the semester’s topics. When do the students seem to have the most difficulty? • Spending more time on the tough stuff • Giving “think time”
When to FLIP • Look for the fundamentals • If it is essential to the course; to the discipline • Does it deserve more time?
When to FLIP • Are you/they bored • Switch it up; ROAD TRIP! • They do, not you do
Other ways to FLIP • Create a syllabus scavenger hunt • Group note taking • Begin class with a case based discussion from the readings. • Give guiding questions with the chapter assignments • Go beyond the typical resources for info • Community interviews (crowd sourcing) • Internet trends
This too is flippingKeep in mind, the goal is engagement; not grading • Read a chapter and assign short quizzes to be taken right before class begins • Have students donate 2 questions on the chapter they want to see on the next quiz/test when they come to class.
Tools for Flipping • “Jing” 5 minute tutorials or mini lectures • “Screencast-o-matic” 15 min videos upload to YouTube channel through FAU Google Apps • Echo360 • Blackboard Collaborate recorded sessions • Audacity podcasting • Narrated PowerPoints • iPad/iPhone movies • Google Apps (Docs, Sites)
