Turn learning upside down Flipped Classrooms
What is “flipped classroom”? A reversed teaching model that delivers instruction at home through interactive, teacher-created videos and moves “homework” to the classroom. Moving lectures outside of the classroom allows teachers to spend more 1:1 time with each student. Students have the opportunity to ask questions and work through problems with the guidance of their teachers and the support of their peers - creating a collaborative learning environment.
Why use flipped classroom? • Home work policy? • Is there a NEED? • Gives students who are overseas a chance to follow the lessons
Why use flipped classroom? • Gives teachers more time to spend 1:1 helping students • Builds stronger student/teacher relationships • Offers a way for teachers to share information with other teachers, students, parents, and the professional learning communities[PLC] • Produces the ability for students to “rewind” lessons and master topics • Creates a collaborative learning environment in the classroom
How to use flipped classroom? • What do students do at HOME? • Put up videos for students to watch at home[Pedagogy – 1st R of R2D2] • NO work to be given other than watching videos
How to use flipped classroom with pedagogies? • What do students do in CLASS? • Hard copies of worksheets – 2 D of R2D2[Do and display] • Group work – work given can be in PBL, in relations to the videos watched. • F-2-F discussion – JiTT, students clarify and ask questions, teacher uses JiTT to customize the next lesson. Inquiry-based can also be used
How to use flipped classroom with pedagogies? • What do students do in CLASS? • Online discussion – using Shared blog in iVLE, blogger, conceptboard, wikispaces, google sites, etc
When to use flipped classroom? • Daily lessons • Not suitable for HBL • For accountability, there is no way you can track students whether they watched the videos
Why make your own videos? • Existing videos taken off other sites are not customizing to your students’ needs. • Existing videos cannot be edited[unless you want to crop different sections out using microsoftpowerpoint 2010] • Existing videos can be as long as 2 hours for a concept[not constructive at all!]
summary The Flipped Classroom offers a great use of technology - especially if it gets lecture out of the classrooms and into the hands and control of the learners.It is part of a larger picture of teaching and learning.
suggestions • If flipped classroom is not used in the intended manner, positive effects will be greatly reduced. • Too shy to make videos? Then use • www.ted.com • www.khanacademy.org • www.youtube.com • No time to do? Pair up with fellow colleagues. • No tools to use? Ask Edtech people for suggestions
suggestions • Additional work for teachers? NO. teachers have been using those platforms and pedagogies since 2009. • It is just a re-packaging of lesson with more CUSTOMIZATION in mind.
lastly And most importantly… PLAN before execution of flipped classroom…and start SMALL.. Access your first completed flipped lesson and make necessary improvement to it before executing on another class
For a start - Customized lesson • Class : 3B1 • Lesson on Mole Concepts • Ask students to view 5 short animations, taken from ivle. Only need 30min of their time at home. • Launch the lesson on ivleone week before lesson • F-2-F lesson on 11 July • Worksheet worth of 1hr to be given in class
outcome • Experiment Group : 3B1, Total 27 students, Present 26, Absent 1[wushu competition] • Profile : least motivated, not handing in work on time, not many self-directed learners. • Report from iVLE extracted on 11 July, 0839h.
How F-2-F was conducted • WS 1 [worth of 1hr of work]given in class. • Teacher walk around, answering questions, clarifying doubts • Pair work or work in threes
benefits • No need to chase after work because all handed in. • Immediate feedback given when students asked questions. • Misconceptions were quickly addressed • More engagement with students
Verbal survey conducted • Most agreed that they like this mode of learning • They like the idea of “homework to be done in class” • Those who did not watch video agree that they will do it next time • They want more of such lessons in future
