In this interactive presentation, we’ll share a variety of technology tools that we use in flipclass to engage students. We’ll give project and product examples that participants can use in their flipclasses. We’ll encourage participants to take what we show and use it to expand what they already do, or to create something new. Based on participant feedback via polling technology, topics may include content curation (e.g. symbaloo),expanding the reach of the classroom (e.g .todaysmeet), or student / teacher publishing (e.g. yudu). At the end of the presentation, we’ll share our popular Techsplosion! of useful tech tools that defy categorization. Participants are encouraged to use their web-enabled devices during this session to explore the tools and share ideas in the backchannel.
In our interactive presentation, we will share the amazingly collaborative “full circle” results of our flipping initiative. Our team consists of pre-service mathematics education college students who experienced classroom flipping in their mathematics classes. The same students also learned how to use the Flipped Classroom Method in their teacher education classes; learning the instructor roll and how important it is to motivate students to accept responsibility for their learning. The awesomeness of the collaborative effort is the 360 degree initiative. The pre-service students transformed what they learned in their own college classes to their high school mathematics classes where they are the teachers. In addition to our results, we will provide attendees with examples of successful flipped resources used to enhance student engagement. The session will also include lessons learned. Participants will receive downloadable files for all resources presented including assessment resources that have been used during successful accreditation visits.
In the fall of 2012, Byron Public Schools (BPS), a small district of approximately 1850 students, incorporated its own variation of the flipped professional development coaching model to support the the technology integration needs of every Pk-12 educator. The technology tsunami was fastly approaching BPS! Online learning, Google Apps, iPads, Web2.0, BYOD had already made its way into the district, changing many of our classroom’s teaching and learning strategies. While we were fortunate to have “Pockets of Wow” (Doug Johnson) educators, the technology skills gap between the early innovators and late adopters was increasing at a rather fast pace. Traditional “sit and get” PD was not conducive to the amount of change technology had on teaching and learning. Technology PD could no longer be supported by 1 or 2 people. We needed to do something, it needed to impact every educator, and we needed to do it now.
The Byron digital learning network was formed and 7 new teacher leaders positions, called digital learning coaches (DLCs), were created. The district worked with the DLCs to develop a Flipped PD model that would support digital pedagogy and classroom innovation for ALL PK-12 teachers. This session will share key components of the plan as well as the triumphs (BIG GAINS) and tribulations of the district’s Flipped PD journey.
