A Vision for Excellence in Education

21ST Century Learning is

Student-CenteredStudents are actively engaged in learning opportunities and inquiry based tasks independent of the teacher.

The 2014 Gates Foundation report, Teachers Know Best: What Educators Want from Digital Instructional Tools, indicates that teachers want tools “supporting student collaboration and providing interactive experiences”. These types of tools are fun and engaging, and they support 21st century skills like collaboration, communication, and creativity indicates that teachers want tools “supporting student collaboration and providing interactive experiences”.

Flipped Classrooms:

Flipping the classroom is the concept of inverting the amount of time spent on lecture and homework.

The flipped classroom is a pedagogical model in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed. Short video lectures are viewed by students at home before the class session, while in-class time is devoted to exercises, projects, or discussions. http://www.emergingedtech.com/2014/09/most-engaging-uses-of-instructional-technology/

Reasons for FLIPPING

Maximizes Class Time

By moving instructional time out of the shared learning space of the classroom, teachers are afforded much more time to help students hone their new skills.

Caveat: Learning what works best with each group of students takes time and reflection. http://www.edtechmagazine.com/k12/article/2015/03/cosn-2015-10-reasons-flipped-classrooms-could-change-education

Individualizes Instruction

Asynchronous learning allows students to learn at their own pace.

Caveat: Not all schools are supportive of such a learning structure.

Creates Peer Learning Opportunities

Flipping the classroom can address problems inherent in traditional instruction, such as losing students 30 minutes into a lesson. Kids can review online lessons multiple times while at home to ensure they understand the core concepts. This teaching technique also creates opportunities for students to help one another by collaborating on projects.

Improves Effectiveness

While there is not a treasure trove of data on the flipped classroom, the existing data show that teachers are reaching skill proficiency more quickly and in larger numbers. Researchers have also noted improvements in student behavior, fewer disciplinary actions and higher graduation rates, Fulton noted.

Caveat: There are as yet no large-scale studies on the teaching method.


Excites Teachers

The flipped classroom breaks the traditional isolation associated with teaching. By sharing their flipped-classroom materials, teachers are learning more about their own instructional methods and trying new techniques used by their colleagues.


Interests StudentsFor students, using technology in and out of the classroom isn't just fun, it's expected, says Fulton. Flipped learning allows students to review online lessons as much as they need to at home, at their own pace, and engage in more one-on-one time with teachers to ensure they have nailed core concepts before moving on to the next lesson.

Caveat: Students must be prepared for what's involved in a flipped classroom, meaning having the discipline to watch lectures and videos at home. And teachers must establish a system of accountability to make sure that students watch their video lessons outside of class.


Flipping Benefits ParentsBy reviewing videos, parents get to know what's going on in their children's class. They also don't have to struggle to do homework with their kids, since that type of activity is done in the classroom.

Caveat: Parent must be prepared for the change and be able to support their kids’ technology use at home.


It Uses Resources Effectively

Budgets are tight, but having a bring-your-own-device policy and turning to digital content can stretch school resources.

Caveat: Schools must invest in the IT infrastructure to make flipped classrooms possible.


Builds 21st-Century Skills

Flipped-classroom instruction embeds concepts such as independent learning, collaboration and critical thinking.


Flipped Classrooms Could Be the Future of Education

This teaching method is still in its infancy. Whether it takes hold will be up to educators.





Shelly Terrell projected 2014 trends in technology to be:

• Web tools and platforms will integrate apps to allow users to do more.

• Individuals will document their online learning.

• Teaching trends will focus on student creation and critical thinking.

• Online professional development will offer participants versatile, community-driven experiences.
