This document discusses flipping the classroom model for an English/Language Arts class. It begins by addressing common myths about flipping, noting that videos do not need to be lectures created by the teacher, can take various forms, and that flipping does not always require extra time or only work for quantifiable topics. Next, it provides examples of how grammar, vocabulary and literary symbolism could be taught using a flipped model with video instruction, guided notes, activities and assessments both in-class and as homework. Lastly, it offers tips on creating reliable video content and accessing free or low-cost options for recording and hosting videos.

Will the flipped classroom be a flop by Willy WoodWilly Wood
Every year there's a new educational approach/trend/fad that everyone gets excited about. In recent years, "hot" topics have included multiple intelligences, differentiated instruction, RTI, and Common Core State Standards, to name just a few. One of the current hot topics is the "flipped" classroom. Many people, looking for a more effective approach to teaching and learning, are taking up this approach. Magazine articles (mostly laudatory) about the approach are popping up like mushrooms after a spring shower. Sixty Minutes even did a segment on it!
Information for teachers who are new to online. Features tips and best practices as well as useful links and videos. Information based on recent literature.
Slides from Keynote Presentation by Janine Bowes. In this presentation Janine will explore the skills and attributes that an online teacher needs in the 21st century to stay on top of the game. In considering the past two decades of online learning, it is useful to note some underlying principles that are timeless but also to be open to new possibilities.
This presentation was completed by the participants of "Alternative Professional Development" session at the Powering Up With Technology 09 conference in Prince George's County, MD.
Flip It! is a professional development resource about moving direct instruction away from group learning spaces so that these spaces can be transformed into more dynamic and interactive learning environments.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
1. Today, we explore:
1.Can ELA be
flipped?
2.Scary flipping
myths
3.What flips best?
4.Technology tips &
2. **CAWP DISCLAIMER**
What we are NOT discussing:
- Whether or not we SHOULD give kids
homework
- Whether or not lecture is valuable
I ask you to:
- Have a “what if” attitude instead of “I can’t”
3. BRIEF OVERVIEW OF FLIPPED CLASSROOM
Flipping is:
- Reversing the typical classroom: instead of direct instruction in
class and practice at home, receive content at home and practice
together in-class
- Lower-level Bloom’s at home, higher application WITH the teacher
- A way to gather formative data
- A springboard for differentiation (mastery AND learning styles)
- An opportunity to prevent confusion, frustration, or bad habits.
- A way to use your time differently
Flipping should NOT be:
- Outsourcing or exporting (no follow up in class to what was
watched)
- Optional or “pointless” because it will not be checked/assessed
4. SO… CAN ELA BE FLIPPED? (1/2)
Did the grammar house
cup unit help your
understanding of
grammar?
Yes, I felt that watching videos (and being
able to watch them more than once)
helped me a lot.
25 38%
Watching the videos was fine. 19 29%
I feel neutral about the videos. 9 14%
I did NOT like the videos and strongly feel
that another method would have been
better for me.
3 5%
I didn't love the videos, but I prefer that
over another teaching method/program.
6 9%
Other 4 6%
5. SO… CAN ELA BE FLIPPED? (2/2)
YES, because…
1. Common core can justify it (collaboration, technology, etc.)
2. Fosters technological literacies
3. Fosters independent learning skills
Yes, BUT it depends mostly on 3 things…
1. What is being taught/assessed
2. Student responsibility/accountability for the flipped work
3. Having reliable, fair materials/technology*
6. CCSS STANDARDS THAT SUPPORT FLIPPING (GR.8)
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.8.7 Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using different mediums (e.g.,
print or digital text, video, multimedia) to present a particular topic or idea.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.8.5 With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and
strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach,
focusing on how well purpose and audience have been addressed.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.8.6 Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and
present the relationships between information and ideas efficiently as well as to interact and
collaborate with others.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.8.7 Conduct short research projects to answer a question (including a self-
generated question), drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions
that allow for multiple avenues of exploration.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.8.8 Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, using search
terms effectively; assess the credibility and accuracy of each source; and quote or paraphrase the
data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.8.1a Come to discussions prepared, having read or researched material under
study; explicitly draw on that preparation by referring to evidence on the topic, text, or issue to probe
and reflect on ideas under discussion.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.8.2 Analyze the purpose of information presented in diverse media and formats
(e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) and evaluate the motives (e.g., social, commercial, political)
behind its presentation.
7. 1. WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT/ASSESSED
- Some concepts are more suited to passive lecture/direct
instruction / modeling than others.
- Some concepts DO NOT HAVE ONLY ONE RIGHT
ANSWER.
- How tough will this concept be to understand the first time, if
you’re not there? Will they have too many questions? (If so,
is it because the concept shouldn’t be flipped, or does your
video need to be better?)
Do the students need you WITH them, or
do they only need to HEAR it from you?
8. 1. CONT’D- WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT
Things that CAN flip well:
- “One right answer”: some grammar, vocabulary, literary terms, introducing characteristics of a new genre
or author, etc.
- Watching a performance and taking notes on it to bring to discussion (watch poetry? Speeches?)
- “How to” technology and/or research videos: Use Easybib.com, format a doc in MS Word 2010, format a
works cited page, navigate any other website.
Things that MIGHT flip well:
- Modeling a reading skill (annotating a text? Reading strategies?)
- Modeling a writing skill (editing, critiquing a sample, writing a specific type of sentence or paragraph) and
then students bring in THEIR attempt to do the same
Things I would have concern over:
- Modeling a text and “interpreting” it FOR them (does a novel really have one right answer?)
- Modeling a text and implying that your way is the only way it can be done
Do the students need you WITH
them, or do they only need to HEAR it
from you?
9. 2. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY/ACCOUNTABILITY
• What can they understand by themselves?
• What supports do these students need to understand?
• Can they be trusted to complete the home piece? If not, when else can they
get the material?
• Can they fairly and independently access the material at home? (< Next slide)
• Have you given enough time for them to watch/interact with it? (Min. 2 days?)
• Do we need to be teaching students to interact with information they find
online?
• Do we need to teach technological literacy (programs, annotating, etc.),
especially if online learning will continue to be part of their future?
10. 3. RELIABLE, FAIR TECHNOLOGY
• Make info available on multiple operating systems (OS) –
Mac AND PC
• Make it viewable on multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, android,
laptop, etc.)
• Put on the internet in a safe , controlled place (YouTube?
CMS?)
• Put it in a free place
• Keep videos short (2-10 minutes)
• Video file types (.mp4?)
11. BEFORE YOU START A UNIT:
1. Survey of student technology access
2. Do one “practice”/test run week, if not more, to find and fix
bugs
3. Make procedures, routines, and expectations clear
4. Put accountability in place the first time
5. Make the content “Google-proof” the first time
6. Make the content “copy-proof” if possible
7. Create videos/content that can be assessed more than one
way/file type
12. MYTH #1: VIDEOS HAVE TO BE 1) LECTURES 2) THAT I MADE
1. They don’t have to be lectures.
- Can students watch you model a skill?
- Can they be other forms of presentations or performances?
2. You don’t have to be the one to make them.*
- Students can be the teachers!
- Can find good ones made by other teachers
*This depends on the assessment though and if it should be your
wording
3. They don’t have to be videos.
- Online review quiz/game?
- Scavenger hunt?
- Online reading/writing, individual or collaborative
(Show student grammar video)
13. MYTH #2: FLIPPING TAKES TOO MUCH TIME
- It takes time AT FIRST to develop content
- It takes time AT FIRST to make student
expectations
- It CAN save time during the school year
IF you are prepared and IF you use
routines
14. MYTH #3: FLIPPING CAN ONLY BE DONE FOR
QUANTIFIABLE TOPICS/CONTENT AREAS.
1. That may be easiest, but there are other ways
2. Some things ARE “quantifiable” in ELA
15. MYTH #4: FLIPPING CAN ONLY BE DONE WITHIN A CMS.
You do NOT need to have Edmodo, Schoology, BlackBoard, or any other formal
course management system.
Other options:
- All on YouTube, TeacherTube, SchoolTube, etc,
- Save videos onto flash drives, CDs for an entire unit/quarter in advance?
- Google Drive (free) – Google Apps for Education?
- However, a CMS has its perks: closed environment, teacher control, low
cyberbullying, quizzes that grade themselves, ability to “see” who turns
something in and WHEN.
16. MYTH #5: FLIPPING REQUIRES TECHNOLOGY
Who says you have to watch a video to flip activities to outside the
classroom?
- Kelly Gallagher: “First Draft” reading (or writing?)
- Read an MLA manual and format a document
- Read a short story, looking for ____
- Prepare your thoughts on this topic to bring to formal discussion
- Looking up definitions for vocab words to then verify connotation or
denotation in class discussion
- Find real-world examples to bring to class
18. SAMPLE ROUTINE: VOCABULARY
1. Pass out guided notes (vocab chart) on Friday
2. Chart due on Tuesday (must watch video to get info)
3. Quiz on Friday
Sometimes: formative quizzes online , in-class activities
My next goal: online quizzes that grade themselves!
