Covering Today
While flipped learning may be a trending topic for
education reformists, its practical implementation requires
a lot of work. For teachers who may be considering this
new model, coordinating both in-class and out-of-class
elements in the most efficient manner can be a daunting
task. The digital transition is undeniably difficult for teachers,
but if they adhere to the following tips, they’ll be on their
way to designing an engaging flipped classroom.

9 Tips for Designing a
Flipped Classroom:1. Put extra time into your video lectures
In the flipped classroom, classroom priorities shift. Lectures become homework
assignments so that students can use class time to engage in discussion and
group activities. Digital technology has enabled teachers to create and upload
video lectures that students can access on their own time.
With students watching video lectures, it can be tempting to cut corners and
just let YouTube do the work. However, given the tools available to educators,
creating engaging lectures doesn’t have to be a Sisyphean task. Applications
such as PlayPosit, for example, allow educators to insert questions that can be
answered in real-time directly into a video’s timeline.

2. …But don’t make them tedious
Students have lives, and teachers can’t control them outside of the classroom.
In a perfect world, students would prioritize learning over the latest Game of
Thrones episode, but we all know that’s asking for too much. Instead, teachers
should meet students halfway and offer bite-sized video lectures that can be
digested in 15 or 20 minutes. Ted Talks videos are perfect for this. The average
length is about 15 minutes, and they often present provocative perspectives on
today’s relevant issues.

3. Show, don’t tell
Teachers shouldn’t just talk at students. They have the power of video at
their disposal, and they should use it. This may require teachers to be a little
more digital savvy, but there is significant value in helping students visualize
important classroom concepts.
4. Encourage discourse
Class time is the place for teachers to clear up any confusion about the
video lectures. In the flipped classroom, the teacher is no longer the sage
on the stage; their role is to facilitate class discussion, not dominate it.
One way to encourage discourse is to have students enter any questions
or comments about the video lectures into OneNote and then discuss
them during class time.

5. Promote classroom collaboration
Teachers should dedicate a significant portion of each class period for
collaborative exercises. One of the hallmarks of the flipped classroom is group
work, as collaborative projects engage every student in the class
6. Stress formative assessment
To evaluate a student’s understanding of the key concepts covered in video
lectures and in-class discussions, teachers can use quick formative assessment
tools that measure retention of content and concepts. This real-time feedback
enables educators to target individuals who are struggling and give them extra
attention during class time.

7. Embrace social media
In order for the flipped classroom to be successful, teachers should let the
conversation continue after class on social media. Teachers can effectively use
social media to extend the boundaries of the classroom and remain accessible
to those students who need extra help.
Teachers can also teach proper social media etiquette so that students learn
the negative consequences of cyber-bullying. By monitoring the social media
discourse, teachers can immediately address any concerning interactions and
explain to the appropriate students why their behavior is unacceptable.

8. Establish a policy of openness
Transparency and openness make a successful flipped classroom. Teachers
can let students know what’s expected of them by giving them access to their
grades and the course’s policies and guidelines. When students know the
standards of the class, they’ll be more inclined to meet them.
9. Involve the parents
Education is a team sport, and it is essential for teachers to make connections
with their students’ parents or guardians. For the flipped classroom to succeed,
teachers should know that students need to be supported in the home as well
the school. If teachers give parents access to their course content, parents will
be more willing to invest in their child’s education.

Although teachers are no longer center stage, the freedom provided by the
flipped classroom makes their role that much more crucial. With all of these
moving parts in the flipped classroom, teachers and students will need to find
a way to bring all of these digital solutions together in a user-friendly fashion.
LiveTiles Mosaic offers seamless online integration.
With Mosaic, teachers can use the simple drag and drop function to design
a flipped classroom that works best for their class. As the screen shot below
illustrates, teachers can embed Ted Talks videos, integrate a Yammer feed and
upload group assignments to the same page, and this page will be accessible to
any student in the class. Running off the Office 365 tenant, Mosaic makes it a
breeze to access Microsoft apps like Sway and OneNote, as well as cloud-based
services like OneDrive and SharePoint.

The flipped classroom can be difficult to realize. With its intuitive and
accessible no code UI design, Mosaic streamlines the process so that
teachers can concentrate on what matters: their students.
