The teacher comes home with the student

I have some ideas for photos we can take.....

1) textbooks outside the door of the classroom; the content is presented outside the classroom.

2) A student watching the movies on their couch at home.

3) A photo of a classroom upside down.

First described and used in 2000 (college lessons went home), classtime was spent in small group study).

​

​

According to a study by J Strayer (The effects of the classroom flip on the learning environment)

Students were less satisfied with the structure, the flipped classroom "contributed to an unsettleness among students."

The Bright Side:

A good flipped class should be like any other in which good teaching and effective learning take place.

​

Flipping the class is not the end-all

solution to finding the "best use" of class time, but it does allow for varied forms of

instruction.

The traditional definition of a flipped class is:

​

• 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 classwork (the "lecture" is done at home via teacher-created videos) and what used to be homework (assigned problems) is now done in class.

​

​

​

​

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.

​

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.

​

Students take responsibility for their own learning.

Some important identifying characteristics

In our experience, effective flipped classrooms share many of

these characteristics:

​

• Discussions are led by the students where outside content is brought in and expanded.
• These discussions typically reach higher orders of critical thinking.
• Collaborative work is fluid with students shifting between various simultaneous discussions depending on their needs and interests.
• Content is given context as it relates to real-world scenarios.
• Students challenge one another during class on content.
• Student-led tutoring and collaborative learning forms spontaneously.
• Students take ownership of the material and use their knowledge to lead one another without prompting from the teacher.
• Students ask exploratory questions and have the freedom to delve beyond core curriculum.
• Students are actively engaged in problem solving and critical thinking that reaches beyond the traditional scope of the course.
• Students are transforming from passive listeners to active learners.

Few things I found- If good to add-Madhu

Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating. Classrooms become laboratories or studios, and yet content delivery is preserved.

Pros

Pros are:

§ Students can replay, rewind, pause the instruction.

§ Has potential for differentiated instruction – students can interact with the materials at their own pace.

§ Could be a cure for too much classroom lecture time, as one reader of I lecture too much, @Borschtwithanna, suggested.

§ Each video could embedded in a page which has a variety of resources related to that topic – including practice questions, sites with further or related information, sites with applications of the concepts.

• The students are engaging with materials predetermined by the teacher, so the teacher maintains a certain level of control. The questions the students prepare may be broad, but the teacher's got a ground base from which to work.
• Students are thinking critically.
• Students get to vocalize what they're not understanding, which gives them a sense of choice and/or involvement in mapping out how their learning is proceeding (rather than feeling like they're being talked at). Although some students may have quicker comprehension than others, by knowing in advance what students are struggling to grasp, your lesson plans will entail information that's probably less redundant to the students than it might otherwise be.
• Students get to boost their electronic skills, which is helpful in such a social media/computer-based society. And Thinkfinity Community is a great platform to use with the class.
• Students may feel more comfortable working together in groups than working off of pitches from the teacher.

OBESITY

cons

§ Seems to still be lecture based, which is what I need to get away from, according to some students I taught this year.

§ Some students may not watch the video for homework as directed

§ Learning is social, students should be interacting as they learn. Watching videos individually is antisocial.

§ This methodology goes against the old Chinese proverb: Tell me, I’ll forget; show me, I may remember; involve me, I’ll understand. Students should be investigating, and discovering the concepts.

§ While reading printed materials outside of the classroom isn't usually a problem, especially if the teacher prints them off and gives them to the students, not all students may have access to computers at home/outside of school.

§ Some students don't fair well in group environments, whether they're shy or embarrassed, etc. They may fair better in written responses or one-on-one conversations. So the teacher has to consider how s/he evaluates student group participation and keep in mind that just because one student doesn't speak up as frequently as another doesn't mean that student is less articulate or didn't do the homework; his/her learning style just might not be conducive to group settings.

§ Small group assignments require a certain level of monitoring and engagement to make sure they don't derail, which can be tricky on a class-by-class basis. Students might not stay on task and start talking about unrelated topics
