Flipped Instruction

Flipped Instruction
• Don’t change what you normally present, instead just change where you present
• Take the theory, it becomes the homework in the form of videos created by you to be viewed by the students at home
• Take the homework you usually assign, and it becomes the class activity
Cell phones make it easy to flip a classroom
Flipped Checklist
Whiteboards / MarkersApp #1: Edmodo: create a group for the
students to joinApp #2: YouTube: you need an account to
upload to your contentA willingness to “put yourself out there” on
the web in the form of 5-15 minute instructional videos
Benefits• Students get to pace themselves through the use
of pause and rewind – great for students with IEP’s
• Students ask more questions in class during activities
• Teachers don’t have to repeat as much• Maximize 1-on-1 time circulate during classroom
activities set in cooperative learning groups rather than lecture in the front of the classroom
• Students out sick? No excuses!
Common QuestionsHow do you check homework?• Low-tech solution: Count the notes as the homework grade; the
notes must be line for line what was on the whiteboards in the video
• High-tech solution: Create an edmodo or ASSISTment assignmentDoes it really work? • Try it as an experiment, YMMV• Students will be more interested in seeing videos made by their
teacher than videos made by Khan AcademyWhat if a student claims to have no computer access at home? Send them to the Math Assistance Center (MAC), open until 3:30PM, Monday-Thursday, 2:45PM on Friday
