Editor's Notes
- Review agenda for the session
- Note the three most valuable points raised by the video/article with respect to student-centred learning and/or the flipped classroom
- Activity debrief ... Product quality of what they made it the product itself what’s important here? Homework did you do it? did you watch the video ... the whole thing? did you actually make a sonobe? did you think ... why did she assign this ... this has absolutely nothing to do with me and this class? How easy was it to learn from the video? could you do it after one viewing? did you need multiple views? did you watch and try? did you take multiple tries to get one made? Takeaway ... if I had wanted you to actually make one, I should have specified exactly what I expected in the e-mail you each received
- Activity Debrief did anyone get a cube? effect of group work ... did some of you finally get a sonobe made? did you learn from your classmates? did someone show you how to do it? did someone take control? Ease of learning? did you get it on the first try? did it take multiple tries? did anyone pull out their phone and find a resource to help do the task? Takeaways ... benefits of individual work combined with group work use of homework that is very clearly defined the whole matter of process vs. product
- Some of the folks credited with pioneering the flipped classroom Bergmann & Sams – high school chemistry teachers in Colorado … realized that they could share resources and improve learning … wrote ISTE book on techniques … conference speakers Sal Khan – engineer, mathematician - Khan Academy … created learning modules for his nephew … often thought of as flagship of flipped learning because it has been popularized by media (TED talk and support from Bill Gates Foundation … thousands of 6-10 minute modules plus now a learning environment as well Eric Mazur – Harvard Physics prof … many years of research into this area … reknown conference speaker as well from Grant Wiggins blog – Lectures 2 – Monday Feb 10/14 ... “hile Eric Mazur has become justly famous for his outstanding work in Peer Instruction where clickers play a vital role, the idea is an old one. Long before wireless handheld technology, Madeleine Hunter and others were encouraging teachers to have learners use a “thumbs up/thumbs down” formative assessment along with other such low-tech devices. Indeed, Bligh noted the explosion in such techniques in higher education over 40 years ago: Taplin (1969) supplied US Air Force trainees with two-and-a-half-inch cubes with different colored faces so that answers to multiple choice questions could be shown privately… Sun (1969) has used colored cards for the same purpose with medical students. Harder, Wayne, and Donald (1968) devised an ‘audience response card’ with five colors covered by paper flaps which could be shown in 14 combinations”

- lots of definitions many of which talk exclusively that the transfer of information takes place outside of class (usually via video, podcast or textbook reading) and the in-class time becomes active learning, sometimes collaboratively, sometimes with different students at different paces, BUT I think that this definition is much more to the point of what flipped learning is all about
- This is what our class distribution is supposed to be … This is what it actually is … Flipping allows me to tap into the top students to help improve the struggling students by making the thinking visible … why did you solve that problem that way, why is that the right answer …
- Enrique is struggling in school, specifically in his math course. Every day the teacher stands in front of the class and teaches to the course outline. She uses the latest technology including an interactive whiteboard that is supposed to engage all students and get them excited about learning. Enrique’s problem is that the teacher talks too fast for him, and he can’t take notes quickly enough. When he does get all the notes from class onto paper, he does not understand what they mean. When he goes home to complete his homework, he continues to struggle because what he wrote down in class during the lecture doesn’t seem to match with what he is supposed to do on his assignment. Thus, Enrique, a hard-working student, has few options: he can go to class early and ask the teacher for help, he can call a friend with the hope that the friend understood what she said, he can copy homework from a friend, or simply give up.
- Janice is active in sports. She is a conscientious student who always wants to do her best. Unfortunately, she has a difficult science class on Friday afternoon. She must often leave school at noon on Friday to travel to games and matches, and she misses a lot of classes. She tries to keep up with the class, but she just can’t because she misses so much of it. She sometimes comes in and meets with her teacher before school, but he is often too busy to individually teach her everything she missed.
- Ashley has spent the better part of her life learning how to “play school.” She is 10 years into mastering the art of meeting her teachers’ requirements by making sure that she meets every detail of a grading rubric. She never actually absorbs the key concepts. She consistently earns As and Bs in her classes – not because she has demonstrated understanding, but because she has met the requirements in the rubric. Those grades do not accurately reflect what she has actually learned.
- Two main schools of thought ... first I call the PAC model and is similar in format to what was described in the video ... PREPARE = student get their first exposure to the content OUTSIDE of class APPLY – an interactive application of concept IN class CONFIRM/REVIEW – confirm skills/knowledge OUTSIDE class
- Second Model ... I call the EEA model and is a bit different ... EXPLORE - student get their first exposure to the content IN class EXPLAIN – introduction of definitions, equations, structured knowledge APPLY – interactive application of concepts IN class May be more appropriate format for those who are doing hybrid courses this year for the first time
- Sample of my planning sheets for and PAC type flipped class ... details things I need to do before class
- PREPARE Phase ... resources that students are to access before class (include URLs, citations, etc.) APPLY Phase ... list of activities and approximate times + whether to be done as a class, individually, or in a group
- CONFIRM Phase ... activities that students will take away to review/practice ... introduced at the end of class
- have students regroup according to discipline ... colour codes match the table markers using class prep handout, choose a topic and start planning a flipped class
- one thing to take away from this session … move attention away from teach and toward learner!
- invite participants to visit my blog for links to today’s slides and wiki for resources, research and general info that may be useful in their teaching.
