This document discusses flipped learning and how mobile technology can improve it. Flipped learning involves students learning new material at home through videos or readings and then applying that knowledge in class under a teacher's guidance. Using the FROG platform and tools like Evernote, Google Docs, and Khan Academy videos allows students to access learning resources anywhere and learn at their own pace. The document argues this mobile, flipped approach can develop students' independence while still providing teacher support and feedback to guide learning. Key challenges are ensuring all students have access and support needed to learn independently and balancing individual pacing with curriculum targets.

1. Learning
goes FLIPPED!
Using flipped learning to improve independent
learning

2. What is flipped learning?
• Rather than the teacher teaching the skills in class, and the
application of learning (the hard bit!) being done at home...
• The learning is set for homework, and the application is done in
class, under the guidance of the teacher
• The teacher's role is diagnostic and supportive
• Students can learn at their own level and at their own pace
• Students can learn in the medium they prefer (written documents,
videos, podcasts etc)
• Students become more independent

3. Why on FROG?
• FROG enables students to access resources from every lesson on a
bespoke page
• It allows the embedding of a number of different types of resources
• It allows embedded tests (Quizlet, Socrative, Kahoot or FROG's own quiz
app) to see how far students have mastered their learning
• What if students just aren't independent enough? We have to give them
those skills
• The teacher's role is diagnostic and supportive
• Students can learn at their own level and at their own pace
• Students can learn in the medium they prefer (written documents, videos,
podcasts etc)
• Students become more independent

4. Why is mobile learning the answer?
• Khan Academy-inspired
• Rather than the teacher teaching the skills in class, and the
application of learning (the hard bit!) being done at home...
• The learning is set for homework, and the application is done in
class, under the guidance of the teacher
• The teacher's role is diagnostic and supportive
• Students can learn at their own level and at their own pace
• Students can learn in the medium they prefer (written documents,
videos, podcasts etc)
• Students become more independent

5. Evernote
• Excellent note-taking tool for students
• Cloud and web-based

6. Key features
• Organise into folders
• Tag for cross-reference
• Searchable
• Add photos of board work, experiments
etc
• Add video commentaries from Explain
Everything
• Add reminders

7. • Use the mic
icon to record
verbal feedback
comments
• Verbal feedback
remains
attached to the
note... Never to
be forgotten
Key features for AFL

8. Google Docs
• Office work in the cloud
• Easy to share, collaborate in real time
• Comments and visible dialogue
• Seeing how much work students are doing

9. Most importantly
Good feedback causes students
to THINK rather than react
emotionally.
Be hard on content, soft on
people.

10. Mobile Technology + AFL
=
Amaze-balls!

11. Key issues
• Less independent students need far more support
• Can't assume all students have access to Internet at home
• How much time do you really get to spend with the more able?
• Being comfortable with students learning at their own pace
• The pressure of time and targets
