  3. Using the Model at Amarillo High School • Kim Brumley – and our Chemistry Team • Ann Ryan – US History • Karen Copeland – and our Algebra Team • Some of our Middle Schools have also started

  4. The Traditional Definition of a Flipped Classroom: • Where videos take the place of direct instruction • This then allows students to get individual time in class to work with their teacher on key learning activities • It is called the flipped class because what used to be class work (the “lecture”) is done at home via teacher-created videos and what used to be homework (assigned problems) is now done in class. But….. It is much more than this.

  5. The Flipped Classroom is NOT: • A synonym for online videos. When most people hear about the flipped class, all they think about are the videos. It is the interaction and the meaningful learning activities that occur during the face-to-face time that is most important. • About replacing teachers with videos. • An online course. • Students working without structure. • Students spending the entire class staring at a computer screen. • Students working in isolation.

  6. The Flipped Classroom is: • A means to increase interaction and personalized CONTACT TIME between students and teachers • An environment where students take responsibility for their own learning. • A classroom where the teacher is not the “sage on the stage”, but the “guide on the side”. • A blending of direct instruction with constructivist learning. • A classroom where students who are absent due to illness or extra-curricular activities such as athletics or field-trips, don’t get left behind. • A class where content is permanently archived for review or remediation. • A class where all students are engaged in their learning. • A place where all students can get a personalized education. • An opportunity to build stronger relationships with students.

  7. Here is what you need to get started: • Need Technology and Administration support and Buy-in • Financial support • A way to record lessons or podcast – we use Camtasia, elmo, video cameras, webcams, Livescribe pens, projectors, computers in room, and headsets. • A place to store the lessons and deliver them – we use Blackboard and Cisco Show and Share video server, DVDs, portable stick drives.

  8. Need to: • Share the Vision with counselors, parents and the community - Communication • Put aside time to produce the videos, develop enriched activities for the classroom and formative assessments • Introduce to your students how to watch a podcast and take notes • Make the podcasts fun and visually appealing • Keep podcasts under 10 minutes if possible

  9. How to get started --- • Video your lesson and edit using Camtasia • Can use Elmo to capture image or write over an exisitngPowerpoint. (can show pic-in-pic) • OR, sit in front of a webcam or camera and record a lesson • OR, make a pencast using Livescribe pens • Keep it between 5 to 15 minutes in length • Render it and upload to a Video Server to share or save to portable drives, DVDs, itunes University, etc. • Make sure students know how to access it • Prepare the lesson that will occur in class
