Collingswood High School Student Panel
Too often in education, adults gather around conference tables and decide what is best for kids, implement those ideas, and collect data on their efficacy all without ever asking a student's opinion. At FlipTech East Coast, we want to allow the student to drive the discussion. Our student panel during Friday's session will feature several of our brightest students who are willing to share their experience with flipped learning and educational technology. In fact, we would argue that this will be the most valuable session during the weekend.

Standard foreign language education tends to focus on the structural elements: grammar and vocabulary. A language, however, is merely a slice of any given culture, and 21st century learners need exposure to the entirety of that culture to succeed in a globalized world. This presentation defines cross-cultural critical thinking (CCCT), explains how flipped learning makes it possible, and provides examples of learning modules and their assessment. It also offers spoken and written student assessments of German language courses that incorporated CCCT.

What do our students *need* to know before we dive into deeper topics and concepts? Does mastery work differently in ELA, history, and other humanities courses than it does for STEM classes? Can teachers actually assess mastery, and express it as a letter grade? These questions are always rattling around my flipping brain, so let's explore them together!

Flipping EFL Writing Workshops
Purple Room (316) 2:00 - 2:50
In the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) university context, time constraints are a common challenge among teachers since they only have some hours a week to develop second language skills. For instance, writing is challenging due to a myriad of variables including students’ background knowledge when writing in the first language and lack of linguistic competence.� Presenters will walk the audience through their experience flipping the writing component in EFL classrooms in Colombia and how flipped learning was the meta-strategy that finally allowed them to incorporate sound feedback, peer/self-assessment and promote writing in the classroom.

This session will highlight free web tools that have transformed my flipped math classroom. The major benefit of flipping a math class is having more face to face time with students for problem solving. Learn simple, free tools for creating and assigning instructional videos such as keynote/ powerpoint, youtube, powtoon, and edpuzzle. Digital tools that promote sense-making in class will be showcased, including desmos activity builder, Mangahigh and equaTio. Because flipped classrooms cut way back on the “note-taking” phase of traditional math classes, students get more time for practice! In my class, we use Think Tac Toe Boards, quizlet, quizizz, and edulastic. Gamification is a fun strategy that can be implemented with a unit or your whole course! We will show how Schoology streamlines the Flipping experience for both teachers and students.

Gamified Flipped Learning attempts to meld two emerging pedagogies into a framework for self-paced learning. Under a Flipped Learning paradigm, ownership of the learning pace is flipped from teacher to student and a teachers role is flipped from dissemination of content to the provision of feedback. Gamification provides the motivational layer for students as they engage with the learning activities.

One of the science teacher’s goals is to create inquiry-based laboratory experiences for the students in which they direct their own learning. One of the obstacles in accomplishing this is the loss of time available to the students due to the need for the teacher to deliver the required pre-lab instructions. Creating a video that the students are required to view before beginning the lab provides a solution to the time limitations. In this presentation, I will describe the components that make up proper pre-lab instructions, the technology I use for making the video, and the method for confirming that the video has been viewed.
