- 6. Flipping the flip? • I use a wiki with my students where I teach at http://kbzac.pbworks.com • Colleagues have started to appreciate using the wiki in courses we teach mutually • I have been asked to help train teachers to create their own wikis at http://kbzpd.pbworks.com • As I teach my colleagues I model how a wiki can archive the learning in such as way as to train others who might use it later in a flipped context Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 7. Flip-as-You-Go This begsthe question • Is it best to prepare the course in advance (so that students can theoretically use it to prepare beforehand?) • Or to create the course as you teach it? (You explain, demonstrate, archive what you did at the end of each lesson) • Or both? This presentation is an examination of the latter approach, a sort of Flip-as-You-Go method Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 8. Fall Blog FestivalRecording Link This presentation was recorded in WizIQ Click on picture to access the recording This session demonstrates a wiki developed for my classes over time that colleagues in my teaching context started collaborating with, and how I created a wiki to help my colleagues create their own, in such a way that it modeled how learning can be facilitiated through a wiki, at http://kbzpd.pbworks.com Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 9. Why this worksfor students • Clear assignments • Clear tasks with links to course documents, other materials, media, and online spaces used • Archive of past assignments Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 10. Introducing http://KBZAC.pbworks.com VanceStevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 11. Affordances for teachers • Clarity in setting up courses so others may follow them • Create record of syllabuses taught, useful when repeating similar courses • Create library of materials used; media, documents, etc. • Open and shareable – Can share resources by links – Can GOOGLE for resources Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 12. Open and shareable • A colleague remembered I had set up instructions for students to download and install Audacity • She asked me where are they? • (I didn’t know offhand; it’s an organically developed site) • I suggested we Google “kbzac” and “audacity” • We were feeling lucky Bingo! Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 13. Open means youcan Google it Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 14. How best todeliver materials for a new course • I am a teacher on a newly restructured aviation English course • Welter of new materials drove colleagues to explore online spaces to organize resources; e.g. – Dropbox – Google Drive – Google Docs – Showbie – LAN – WIKI !! Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 15. Some preferred theWiki Way • Small team used my wiki for collaboration on course development and implementation – We could set up common materials, notices, assessment strategies on one page – Each team member could have own page – Facilitated sharing because wiki members uploaded files to the wiki (each has a link) – From the wiki we could link to spaces others were using (though not the other way around ) Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 16. Introducing http://KBZPD.pbworks.com Otherteachers wanted to use the wiki approach • I started teaching them by creating a wiki where I could archive lessons so others could catch up • The archive can then morph into a flipped lesson • This models approach to online course design that teachers could adopt in creating their own wikis organically for students Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 17. http://kbzpd.pbworks.com This presentationis about the modeling This is the space where the modeling was done Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 18. Wiki approach todesigning blended learning environments • Develop your site as a tutorial • Lots of links to – resources subsumed under tutorial (annotated, not just list of resources) – Other participants’ wikis to showcase other’s work and promote collaboration • Illustrate concepts with screen shots from Jing – Get it free from http://jingproject.com • Set headings (H1, H2, etc) to create Table of Contents Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 19. Drawbacks to wikis • Text-ish • Navigation needs to be designed • Clunky placement of graphics • HTML sometimes needed to correct bugs in wiki display (This can be an affordance!) Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
- 20. Affordances of wikis • Revision history, can revert to previous versions • Sidebar and Table of Contents to facilitate navigation • Education resources stored at the wiki – Each resource has a link – File sharing; others can download • From the wiki itself or • from those links – generous space allocation • HTML can be used to augment, embed, etc. Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9

- 26. What are linkloops? • Not everyone understands the concept of hyperlinking, so in training we may have to start there • Link to from a teacher’s portal to anything else, and from there link back again Find this explained here in KBZPD wiki http://kbzpd.pbworks.com/w/page/85843726/purpose_page #Section2hasthreepartsletscallitLinkLoops Vance Stevens Fall Blog Fest 2014 rev.24/9
