The Flipped Classroom centers on the idea that learning isn’t confined to the classroom. Therefore, you need to utilize a system that allows students to complete assignments whenever they are ready, whether it be in the classroom, in their bedrooms or even on the school bus. With the increase of mobile technology, Google has the perfect combination of applications that allow for learning and assessment to occur any time. In this session, participants will learn how to set up their Google accounts to use with students, to share documents, to collaborate on documents with students, and to streamline their grading using simple tools already built into GApps. No experience with Google Apps is required, but users are encouraged to have a Gmail account before arriving.
Our presentation will start with a brief description of why we decided to collaborate to create a new pre-calculus class using the flip class model. We will take attendees on our journey through creating our new course. We will share our new class format which incorporates our modified version of problem based learning, higher level thinking skill projects, differentiated learning projects, discovery learning projects, and samples of student work. We will share a sample of our collaborative instructional videos, our anticipatory videos which provide opening questions that guide each unit, and short interviews with our students as they reflect on the flip class. We will discuss obstacles we have faced along with some unexpected observations. We will end with a short preview of our next collaborative project.
In this workshop, teachers will connect the concept of multiple intelligences to offering students choice in learning in the classroom. When students are given flipped lessons for homework, time is made available for students to work on projects of their choice in order to master content, concepts, and skills according to the teacher’s design and plan. Teachers will learn ways to create lessons for homework; to post lessons on a website and to assign it for homework, making time available to fully engage students in their classrooms using project based learning. Teachers will design a choice board for students in which learning activities are connected to multiple learning styles.
Flipped Classroom is a “rotation” type of Blended Classroom. There are a variety of ways to use flipped classroom in combination with with other pedagogical approaches, such as project based learning, universal design for learning, or Challenge Based Learning. All flipped classrooms are types of blended classrooms, but not all blended classrooms are flipped classrooms. What are some of the ways a teacher can flip a classroom? What are some other ways to use blended learning in a classroom or a school that can be used to replace flipped classrooms or to compliment flipped classrooms? This session will explore a variety of flipped classroom styles and use a single classroom example to illustrate the variety of possibilities for blended learning beyond flipped classroom.
This session presents results from the implementation of flipped learning in a linguistics course for pre-service teacher candidates. Both quantitative and qualitative data show that flipped learning resulted in increased comprehension, increased interaction, and increased critical thinking skills. The components of this flipped course included: interactive video, student research, class collaboration, and final video/Glogster project, with visuals showing examples for each component. This implementation of the flip resulted in a constructivist learning experience with students being active participants instead of passive recipients of learning. The presenter provides data from blogs, questionnaires, interviews, and exams from two semesters. Participants will learn how to create an effective, user-friendly and cognitively demanding flipped classroom for a college level course.
Norton Gusky, formerly the Coordinator of Educational Technology for the Fox Chapel Area School District, will share how K-12 educators are using Classroom Salon, a product developed at Carnegie Mellon University, as part of a Flipped Learning set of experiences. Norton will highlight case studies from both middle and high school classrooms that use Classroom Salon to annotate video. While YouTube has the ability to time-stamp a video, Classroom Salon adds additional tools for analyzing the student conversation and enhancing the classroom conversation. Classroom Salon works as both a stand-alone tool or as tool within learning management systems, like Edmodo or Blackboard.
Learners come to us with a variety of learning styles. Some are primarily visual learners, others auditory, and others kinesthetic. Activities that include all the senses have been shown to be most effective for understanding and retention.
Much of the instruction in the flipped classroom model is visual and auditory, but only occasionally can it include kinesthetic activities outside of class. But the time remaining in class can be used for many activities, both individual, group, and whole class. Incorporating kinesthetic activities in class can reinforce and concretize concepts, teach skills, and build community.
In this session, we will look at linking in class kinesthetic activities to out of class lessons, using them to foster learning and fun, and explore ideas for creating activities related to your course content.
Participants in this session will review specific strategies and resources to utilize Flipped Project Based Learning with learners at both the middle and high school levels. The two presenters will share their own experiences with things like: Reverse Engineering Cameras, Building Rube Goldberg Machines, Computer Programming with Scratch, designing Minute to Win It challenges, and drafting fantasy Ultimate Frisbee Teams. In addition, presenters will offer comments and ideas how to embed subject standards into instruction under the umbrella of Flipped PBL. Helpful websites will be provided to begin building your own collection of Flipped PBL resources.
As teachers become skilled at creating flipped content, they face the challenges of storing, organizing and presenting their content in ways that will streamline learning. Edmodo and Google Drive are two tools that work well in tandem to help teachers manage their flipped content. In this session, participants will:
*Log in to their Edmodo account and join Mr. Kain’s Flipcon 13 Class
*Filter Edmodo content to see only their assignments
*Learn how embed a video from a Google Drive shared folder in an Edmodo post (see example at http://bit.ly/edmodoembed
*Learn how to upload a series of videos to a Google Drive that students will view sequentially
*Watch a video from Mr.Kain’s Google Drive account that is embedded in an Edmodo assignment
*Follow instructions in the video to embed content into their own Edmodo posts
*Take a quiz in Edmodo
*Make an Edmodo post public
