This document outlines a project to implement a flipped classroom style of teaching for selected topics in a year 7 class. It will find good online resources to teach without a textbook and set up a wiki page for students to access worksheets and other materials. The flipped classroom involves students watching videos or reading about the next lesson for homework and then discussing what they learned in class. More challenging questions and problem solving activities are completed during class time. A wiki page is needed to store and allow easy access to worksheets for students, provide extra practice material, store links to videos and activities for both students and teachers, and allow absent students to catch up.
This document summarizes the work of a teacher in the RE department who participated in the Loreto5 program in 2013. It discusses initial goals of introducing flipped learning strategies to engage students. It then describes how the teacher's work evolved throughout the year to focus on using Quia, an online tool, to create practice multiple choice questions for HSC revision. Analysis found that students who used Quia performed better. The teacher also created online tutorials and investigated options to better organize course content beyond the portal. Participation in Loreto5 provided new skills, opportunities to learn from colleagues, and inspiration to continue improving teaching practices.
The document discusses using a flipped classroom approach to teach Ancient History. It involves creating a series of video lessons on a topic that would normally take 3 classroom lessons. The videos cover content, note taking skills, essay writing skills, and how to support ideas with evidence. Student surveys found the videos helped their understanding, note taking, analysis skills, and ability to work at their own pace. Some feedback was to speak slower in videos and to allow more flexibility in essay length. Overall, flipped classroom approaches can help develop critical thinking if combined with traditional support.
The document discusses implementing a "flipped learning" approach for the Year 11 Prelim Biology course to make it a more engaging and student-centered learning experience. It proposes developing interactive PDF portfolios consisting of digital activities for topics like evolution and fossils that are typically dry and rely solely on teacher delivery. This would allow students to take more responsibility for their learning and prepare better for the independent HSC studies. Resources would be archived for students to access as needed. The approach would develop students' independent attitude and problem-solving skills. Benefits include improving the document's and teachers' digital skills through collaboration. Challenges include issues with sharing digital resources across platforms.
Module 1: Chickering and Gamson's 7 Principlessarao226
This document provides information on Chickering and Gamson's seven principles for good practice in undergraduate education from 1987. The seven principles encourage student-faculty contact, cooperation among students, active learning, prompt feedback, emphasizing time on task, communicating high expectations, and respecting diverse talents. Several resources are then summarized that discuss applying the seven principles in online and classroom settings and how they have been used in research studies.
1. The document outlines a 9th grade inquiry project called "Experts: Problems and Solutions".
2. Students are divided into specialty groups in different subject areas and research real problems scientists are trying to solve.
3. Throughout the term, students become experts in their subject area and help classmates with questions while also presenting weekly on interesting discoveries.
4. The goal is to develop students' inquiry skills and habits by giving them more time for hands-on work analyzing data and complex situations like real scientists.
The document describes a flipped classroom model where students watch instructional videos as homework and engage in hands-on activities and discussions in the classroom. This frees up class time for activities and questions. Some benefits are more opportunities for feedback, replay of videos, and parental involvement through access to the instructional videos. Challenges include students needing access to the videos and potentially feeling lost without watching them. One high school saw reduced discipline cases using this model.
This document outlines the 5 steps to implementing a flipped classroom model:
1. Determine where the flipped model makes the most sense based on topics students struggle with or activities that are difficult to complete in class.
2. Spend class time engaging students in application activities and feedback to reinforce concepts learned outside of class.
3. Clarify the connections between in-class and out-of-class work so students understand what to prepare for and what will be built upon.
4. Adapt materials for students to acquire content before class through videos, readings, or other media.
5. Extend learning beyond the classroom through discussion boards and collaborative groups to continue practicing ideas.

Edmodo is an education platform that allows classes to connect, share content, and access homework. The group chose Edmodo because it is free, easy to use, and safe. Edmodo could support a flipped classroom model by hosting videos and assignments. A psychology teacher used Edmodo successfully with her class. While students found it similar to Facebook, they needed more internet access to fully participate. The group felt Edmodo's teacher options and changing lessons took too much time. They would change Edmodo to allow previewing student posts and improve navigation. Edmodo teaches students responsible social media use.
You’ve probably seen the promotional videos from companies like Kahoot! and Socrative that show students having lots of fun doing a test on their phone or laptop. But polling and survey programs such as Kahoot! are much more useful than first meets the eye.
In this presentation, Rachel Maissan explores other uses for Kahoot! aside from testing student knowledge. These include: saving paper, getting better student responses, asking more personal questions and gathering usable data.
The document describes several examples of assigning homework that involves students watching instructional videos before coming to class. For some lessons:
- Students watch a video for homework and complete tasks like information sheets or time plans based on the video. In class, students take the lead by teaching or working independently based on their homework.
- Not all students complete the homework. Teachers have backup plans like worksheet for non-completers or pairing completers with non-completers.
- Teachers find this approach effective for developing student independence and leading more discussion-based lessons rather than direct instruction. It reduces teacher planning and preparation time.

The course will be led by science educators and will provide lesson plans and materials for participants to apply what they learn to their own teaching practice.
The document discusses the benefits and process of flipping the classroom for a math teacher. It describes having students complete pre-learning activities like watching instructional videos or doing worksheets at home. This allows class time to be used for doing assignments, working on higher-order thinking problems, and getting assistance from the teacher. The teacher checks pre-learning results through an online system. Flipping the classroom provides data on student understanding and pre-learning habits to help tailor lessons. It is presented as an effective way to change traditional teaching methods.
This document provides an agenda for a class on student and collaborative teacher inquiry. It includes discussions on asking questions, student inquiry, collaborative teacher inquiry, and an inquiry project involving developing an essential question and monograph. Students will read about inquiry, develop questions on the Mars One project, and participate in an inquiry-based learning activity involving developing questions, research, presentation, and reflection. Guidelines are provided for an inquiry project, meeting logs, and using inquiry-based learning in the classroom.
This week's agenda includes sharing, discussing the lesson plan model, and completing assessments 3 and 4. Students should post their learning styles paper by Thursday, begin their technology-embedded lesson plan on Friday, respond to classmates' posts over the weekend, and email a reflection on Sunday. Looking ahead, students should read Chapter 12, react to and discuss it with classmates, and work on gathering websites for an upcoming assignment. Effective technology integration means using it across the curriculum to actively engage students, support group work, provide frequent feedback, and connect to real-world experts, making its use routine and transparent while supporting curricular goals.
The document describes a teacher's experience flipping their classroom for a geography course. Key points:
1. The teacher had students learn new material through videos and presentations at home, so class time could be used for deeper learning, explanation, and assessment. This addressed issues like not having enough time to plan or cover the syllabus.
2. An initial pilot involved flipping a unit on water for a Sec 1 cohort. Students engaged well with the new approach and motivation levels increased, though exam results did not significantly change.
3. The teacher found flipping allowed more content to be covered in less time, and interventions could happen in real-time rather than after homework. Students also practiced applying knowledge to exam-style
This document outlines a professional development session about developing higher-order thinking skills in students through a cross-curricular unit on Australia's asylum seekers and refugees.

How Flipping your Classroom Can Improve InstructionElizabeth Nesius
Flipping a classroom is a type of blended learning that allows instructors more time to interact with their students by placing traditional classroom activity, such as lectures, outside of class time. Watching lectures in class leaves class time for hands-on activities, small group work, and one-on-one interactions between professor and student. Flipping can be done through LMS forums, Khan Academy, lecture capture software, VoiceThread, etc. This presentation will discuss benefits of the flipped classroom model, provide ideas and best practices for successful classroom flipping, and give participants an opportunity to start planning how to flip their own classes.
The document discusses the flipped classroom teaching model. It explains that the flipped classroom delivers instruction at home through videos created by teachers and moves homework into the classroom. This allows teachers to spend more one-on-one time with students in class. Students can ask questions and work through problems with teacher guidance. The flipped classroom also builds stronger student-teacher relationships and allows students to learn at their own pace by rewatching lessons.
The document outlines 5 steps for using a flipped classroom approach: 1) determine what topics are best suited, 2) engage students in applying concepts during class, 3) clarify connections between in-class and out-of-class work, 4) adapt materials for students to acquire content before class, and 5) extend learning beyond class through individual and group practice. It also lists pros such as helping absent students keep up and allowing multiple explanations to be accessed, and cons such as the digital divide and upfront work needed to create instructional videos.
The document discusses planning activities and lessons for teaching English as a foreign language. It describes the key steps in planning a lesson as familiarizing yourself with material, anticipating problems, timing, and student needs.

Flipped classroom sharing 8 june 2016 amk seccritter33
This document describes how a teacher flipped their classroom. It discusses:
1. Providing instructional content as pre-learning through videos and presentations for students to access online or through hardcopies.
2. Devoting class time to completing work, reversing the traditional approach of instruction in class and homework at home.
3. The benefits experienced including having more time for learning, timely intervention, and being able to cover more content in less time.
The document discusses flipping the classroom with Google Apps for Education (GAFE). It describes flipping as having students watch lecture-style videos for homework to free up class time for hands-on activities and collaboration. It provides examples of how to create and share video lessons using GAFE tools like Google Forms, Docs, and Drive. Benefits mentioned include allowing more one-on-one teacher time and developing critical thinking. Ways to ease into flipping are also presented, such as starting with one lesson per week or using existing online videos.
Simple Ways To Add Active Learning To Yourannielibrarian

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
