Flipping a Lesson Open up more class time
How does this work? • No strict method of doing this • Central idea is to leverage your class time for more interaction and exploration • Lectures can be your own originals or videos/podcasts/recordings you have found • Could couple this with a “notes” sheet to hold students accountable • Class time is now open for discussion, reading higher level documents, analyzing data, practicing in small groups, or project based opportunities • Think in terms of how the work world looks
What are some positives to this approach? • Students can focus on the lecture and pause, rewind, and review as needed • Students who miss a class will now never miss a lecture or notes • Class time is more engaging as you have the flexibility to engage with the students one on one, in small groups, or having class wide discussions • Students can now actively engage with the content instead of passively writing it down • More time for collaboration between all levels
What are the downsides? • It is easy to get wrong • Are you activities directly related to the lectures? • Is class time being used to practice and enrich the content in the video lectures? • Is it necessary to view the lectures to participate in your class? • Requires effort to organize the videos, create them, or find a method to hold your students accountable • How will you work with the students who do not watch a lesson?
What does this mean for you? • Instituted correctly you will see a shift in your “role” • Guide on the side • The responsibility to learn falls more squarely on the shoulders of the students with thoughtful “prodding” from us • There will be a “lag” in adoption for both teachers and students • It is difficult to get students to think as independent learners. Takes practice. • Can allow for more creativity for both the teacher and the student • Master more skills instead of covering more skills
So, how do I create videos? • Great resources are available already! • Record a Power Point and save it as a video • www.Educreations.com is a great whiteboard program to record videos • www.screencastomatic.com has a free version and the “pro” account is only $15/year. • I use this for all of my videos • Find video clips that work for you at Youtube or Prairie Public • Incorporate a class blog to deliver and house the content • Your SkyDrive pro account, www.Edublog.com , www.kidblog.org or www.Blogger.com
What are some resources to help me? • 10 Questions to Ask Before You Flip • Flipped Learning Network • TED-ED: Great videos and lessons to flip • The Netrix IT Wiki page on Flipped Learning • The first PDF is what this Power Point is based off of • Each other, get a colleague to do this with you • Learn from each other, help each other, and guide one another
