What is Flipping Your ClassroomWhen flipping your classroom, the students first exposure to the knowledge is completed outside of the classroom. This is most commonly done through reading assignments or educational videos.

Idea

The students focus on the lower levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy outside of the classroom. While in the classroom, the focus shifts to the higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy with teacher assistance.

The Research Suggests

http://www.learndash.com/flipped-classroom-facts-and-figures/

One particular case study of Clintondale High School in Clinton Township, MI shows some pretty impressive results. When a flipped model was implemented, they found:

The English class failure rate decreased from 52% to 19%The Math class failure rate decreased from 44% to 13%The Social Studies failure rate decreased from 28% to 9%The entire 9th grade failure rate went down 33% in one year

Pros of the Flipped Classroom

• Bare Bones of the instruction is front loaded from the video the night before

• Examples can be demonstrated in the video• Parents are exposed to the lesson• Students practice in the classroom with the teacher

where help is available, not at home where help may not be available

• Students take responsibility for their learning• Self pacing to support abilities

• Great for Differentiation

Cons of the Flipped Classroom

• How do we instruct without being in the room with the students• Internet Based or Reading Based

• How do students access Internet based lessons• Time consuming : record, re-record, edit, publish• Student didn’t do it

Lesson Design Tips

• Not every lesson works as a flipped lesson.

• Select only 1 objective per video.

• Put something in the video that helps the class connect. I sometimes use a picture of my dog. Think about phrases you use in your classroom. Look around your classroom for easily recognized objects.

• The length of the video should be appropriate for the viewer. Up to 7 minutes is a good length for most elementary students. Try to think 1-2 minutes per grade level.

Creating the Lesson

• Plan, plan, plan before you turn on the camera.

• Practice, practice, and practice again. Your goal is to record the video in one take.

• Pre-set anything you plan on using.

• Plan a follow-up activity for after watching the video.
