This SOS session

• Intro to the flipped classroom format• Overview of individual parts• Online resources• Focus on pro’s & con’s and possible options• Reflecting on the flipped classroom template (challenges?)

Q/A throughout the session

Flipped classroom?

Previously recorded session, with interactions between students in-class.Expand to : viewing previously provided online/digital sources, followed byclassroom interactions, and possible hands-on activity. Broader term: flipped learning . Picture: http://www.slu.edu/Images/cttl/flipped%20graphic_reinertcenter.jpg

Who started it?

• Jon Bergmann and Aaron Sams pioneers (2002): they recorded lessons, shared with their students, focused on problems they encountered (content, understanding…).

• Why? Big classes, need for differentiation.

Overview: four big parts• Learning goal and meaning

of the FC needs to beshared with students for ensured biggerunderstanding.

• Online sources are shared. To be viewed/understood(cfr homework/reflection –computer available?)

• In-class: groupwork, focus on content, understanding, difficulties, project. Peer and teacher feedback.

• Evaluation of the processby all.

1. Learning goal FC

2. Pre-class: sources

(homework)

3. Class: groupwork &

understanding

4. Post-class: evaluation

Proven? Shall I read ?

Proven points

• Classtime shifts to problem solving dynamic (Foertsch, Moses, Strickwerda, Litzkow, 2002; Toto & Nguyen, 2009)

• Students get a better understanding of their ownlearning potential or challenges (Lage et al., 2000 –paid paper)

• Teacher time big for preparing, less later (Lage et al.)• Students prefer hands-on compared to lectures (Toto &

Nguyen, 2009)• Students get a better understanding of full curriculum

(Fulton, 2012), effective project tome (Zappe et al., 2009)

Ed Ventry and Amy Kilmer at Niagara Falls High School (NY) – link report

Yeah, but is this really true?!!What is the value of research?!

Don’t take my word for it, check with common sense: what do I do when I want to learn something new?... How do I prepare?

– I surf and view sources– I ask knowledgeable peers– I discuss with partner and friends

We are experienced learners, what works for us will work for them.

Offline parallel: field visit

Flipped classroom can be compared with a field visit.

• Museum visit, shop visit…

• Walk in the wild…

BUT: those visits can not be viewed again, where FC does have sources that can be viewed multiple times.

Which content fits the flippedclassroom approach?

• Content that needs more in-depth coverage, more iterations to be understood

• Content or subjects that demanded more differentation in the past

• Content demanding an authentic or project approach

Short overview pro’sstudents teachers

Students can review online sources untilthey get the concepts (keeping deadline in mind)

Able to see where the challenges are located in the concepts that are offered

Reflection happens before class You can share sources that cover topicsdiscussed in different classes (e.g. French algebra). With a focus on your own subectin class.

Learning to learn, also for futuretraining/learning.

Students are at the center of learning, sothe teacher can give better guidancedepending on the student

Students need to take up their ownresponsibility for learning

Creative option for other class approaches

Active learning in class Reviewing content for learning objectivesand how to reach it

Preparing students for critical learning of web resources

Guide students in their critical thinking of daily used resources

Important consideration: time and quality

Time investment of the teacher– Time to prepare a FC increases (127% more – link report,

p. 15)– But resources are reusable (especially when recording own

videos)quality: – Demands time and effort to select quality resources– ICT support to make videos or audio/slides

• Use video and sources from others

• Record your own video or audio/slides

• Ask students to locate sources

• Let students make online sources (for others)

Benodigdheden voor iedere aanpakOptions Advantages Disadvantages Needs

Collect online sources from others

No technical skills necessary, criticalskills welcomed

Time investment, especially whenlooking for non-English sources

Internet

Produce your ownaudiovisual material

Quality is ensured(you), can be put behind an LMS

Technical skillsSelf-esteem (video)

Video recording (eg webcam, mic)Audio + slides (eg possible in PowerPoint)IT support?

Let your studentstrack down online resources

Practicing criticalthinking skills

slower process, you –as a teacher – need to double check quality

Internet

Students producecontent to be shared

Increase technicalskills, full process

Quality needs to beconstantly monitoredand in multiple ways

They get into the full process

Advantages: recording your lessons

• Lessons can be viewed by students that were absent• Reusable, as it fits your curriculum demands and planning

Timing of the modules: tackle one learning objective per lesson (max 6 minutes per learning objective)

Differences per grade & field

Which type of information can be delivered for which type of learner groups? • Capacity• Difficulty of online resources, language options• Contextual online resources: technology, science,

languages, marketing…

Personal time to look at the online resources

The role of the teacher

Picture: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8527/8615353879_58a09c6cce_b.jpg

The teacher supports the students. This means a shift in identity.

How do you know the students have actually accessed the resources?

Classical approach will do (with or without grades):• Provide a quiz or some questions they need to answer, and

which demand reflection (intro to class discussion)• Make sure you get the results before the class momentAdditional help for individual learning: a guiding text whichhighlights the focus and concepts of the topic/reflection.

Short term surplus

Class time used for:

• Creating a better understanding of the subject matter (more time to answer specific questions – in group or individual)

• Active learning in class (skills: speaking, listening, writing)

• Options to plan/show projects in class

• Situating those concepts that result in confusion

• Or simply: exersizes in class => immediate feedback

Long term surplus

• Enhancing lifelong learning skills

• Preparing for higher education

• Practising skills

– argumentation

– Presentation/discussion in group

• Understanding group responsibility

• Enhancing critical thinking towards online resources

Surplus students w learning difficulties

• Option to review material as many times as necessary(online content)– Retention and understanding increases. Repetition in a

safe environment (not in group)

• Transcripts can add to the diversity of content delivery (audio, video, text) supporting different types of students

MobiMOOC Adult learners

Subject matter: mobile learning (intro http://mobimooc.wikispaces.com/Introduction+to+mLearning )Learning outcome: write a mobile learning project which fits your training needs and field of expertise.Challenge: international group, multiple languages, multiple disciplines

MobiMOOC outcomes

• Videos and seminars were viewed multiple times (positivefeedback from non-native English speakers)

• The discussions strengthened the meaning, challenges andpossible solutions needed to set up mobile projects.

• The variety of viewpoints nurtured generic insights• More authentic and realistic projects

Advanced flipped classroom (languages)

Contact a teacher from another country where the learners either speak the language you are teaching, or learn the language you are speaking. Connect both of your students for languageexchange skype meetings.

Advanced ICT class project:produce online content for other grades,

integrating skills you need to develop

Heb je wel echt gedeeld?

Fill in the flipped classroom template

Reflect on what you think is possible for you.

Question: Looking at what we did now.. what if

• I first would have send you all an introduction with relevant online content links?

• I had given you the template in advance, as a reflectiveexercise?

• …• How much time would we have had to focus on drawing up

a full Flipped classroom project for personal use? What would have been the surplus? Time, depth, and focus
