Bergman & Sams (2012) Flip Your Classroom

Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter

The Flipped Classroom – The Gist • Teachers post videos of lessons online in lieu of lessons in

the class

• Students view the videos at home on laptops, computers, tablets, IPods, mobile phones or mobile devices

• Students spend their class time actively working as opposed to passively sitting

Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter

Why Flip your Classroom?Students can learn at their own paceChildren become self directed learners

- pause, rewind and rewatch videos

• Weaker children are - no longer passively listening in class - can pause and rewind the teacher- can watch content again and again

• More able children - can choose a faster pace - can work ahead - learn a valuable lesson in managing time

Why Flip your Classroom?Levels the playing field at home • Saves parents struggling to help

with homework they don’t understand

• If parents are not home children are supported by the teacher at home

• Eliminates children not being able to finish tasks at home

Why Flip your Classroom?More one on one time with the teacher• The teacher can spend their class time working one-

on-one with the children that need extra help. • More one-on-one builds better student-teacher

relationships

Why Flip your Classroom?Encourages Mastery• In the traditional classroom children are pulled

along to the next concept even if they do not get the basics

• The flipped classroom allows children to stick with a concept until they understand it, they do not have to move forward

Why Flip your Classroom?Addresses Absenteeism (Students & Teachers)• Allows for children who

- miss classes (learning support, resource)- are out sick / on holidays- are playing matches/representing school- involved in other activities (S.U. / Green Schools)

• Substitute teachers can use the videos

Why Flip your Classroom?Excellent Diagnostic Tool

Using software teachers can easily identify areas

- where children are excelling - where children are struggling

Students can be grouped easily- mini-lessons- collaborative groups

Why Flip your Classroom?

Children Teaching Children• Peer tutoring groups• No longer rely solely on teacher

for knowledge• Collaborative groups• Meaningful tasks • Children can dive right into

Why Flip your Classroom?Involves Families in Learning

• Family members are watching videos with children • Learning alongside children• Creates real life discussions about topics

Bianca Ní Ghrógáin @groganbee on Twitter

What have I learned so far?• We get a lot more work done in lessons... be prepared• Discussions tend to be led by the children• A higher order of thinking than I had ever envisaged• Topics / discussions have more of a real life element• Children are no longer listening they are ACTIVE• Peer tutoring happens naturally • They need me less …. for prompts & questions• Enquiry and problem based learning is invaluable!!• Parents engage more with learning • Better communication all round – pros & cons• To make learning the focus - not the technology• Children will take more ownership over their learning• My kids are now flipping the flipped classroom

Do• Decide on a platform like Edmodo to set assignments

and give responses• Write to parents to explain the model and be prepared

for questions• Select or produce material for YOUR children• Set specific deadlines • Provide access for children who aren’t connected to the

internet at home e.g. USB key, re-writable DVDs, or B.Y.O.D.

Don’t • Expect students to watch just because you tell them to

…….set them a task!• Assume that because the content was delivered at home

that classroom tasks will run smoothly• Expect other staff members to agree with the concept • Assume that one video is enough for one topic/concept

What next?Start with discussion of video

(clear up misconceptions)Considerable amount of time should be spent

training children to view videos effectively

Teach children to• Take notes• Extract key points• Record questions• Summarize learning
