FlippedLibrary Instruction
Nancy BeszhakJuly 27, 2014
The Path that brought me here opportunities and frustrations
● New Principal
● 25% transient rate● 35% free and reduced lunch● 440 students, 20 classrooms
● circulation 274 daily, 52,084 per year● ILL requests: 148 incoming, 204 outgoing
● student passes 2013-2014 5708 total / 29 students daily (up 1,162 from previous year)
● Reduction in library assistant hours ffrom 25 hours weekly to 12.5 hours
My commitment to the students
★ provide great service
★ encourage students to develop lifelong learning and
lifelong library use
★ connect reluctant readers to books that help them get
excited about reading
★ promote a place where all kid succeed - a place where
all belong
★ avoid saying “I don’t have time” to a child
How did I decided on flipped instruction
I enjoy facilitating student created multimedia projects and am constantly looking for new ideas.
a workshop - 21st Century Learning Possibilities Mobile Tools in a Flexible Learning Environment by Dan Herlihy
Good Manners at the Library created by Kegonsa 1st graders 2007-2008
How can I use a flipped model of library instruction to improve the delivery of library instruction for students.
The Big Question
Great place to startself taught flipped instructors sharing their expertise
The FLIP framework, released March 12, 2014 helps to guide the practice of flipped instruction and describes the transformation that occurs turning the classroom into a dynamic, interactive learning environment.
The flipped classroom is a pedagogical model in which typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed. Short instructional videos are viewed by students before class giving them time in class to apply their knowledge.

flipped instruction - a definition
Benefits to flipped instruction Rebecca Hamlett
❖ students can access the lesson any time any place (a student who is absent can watch the lesson at a different time)
❖ students can review the lesson as many times as needed
❖ Instructors are able to devote class time to the application of the skills instead of “telling” the students the information
❖ this style of instruction can better meet the need of students with different learning styles
How does flipping work in an elementary classroom? Dr. Lodge McCammon
Best practices in flipped instructiona few recommendations from those who are using it
● keep videos short 3-5 minutes long● students are more receptive when the instructor is the one recording the
video● use a variety of formats not just videos● have a plan for students with no access to technology● keep the technology simple. (If something can go wrong it will.)
● are your students engaged and is there a “Need to know” ● if possible, use lessons created by others● know the end result of the activity and work backwards. What do you want
students to be able to do and what do they need to learn to get there.

First grade Caldecott / Critical visual literacy
● Read the book “Where are you on each page of the story? How did the illustrator use your point of view to make the illustrations more powerful.
● Write one question you would personally like to ask Philippe Petit.
● Sort questions into categories. (who, what, where, why, when, how)
● Write a letter to Philippe Petit
Final thoughts...● the first digital lessons will take longer to record than you expect● find digital tools that work well for you● take care in downloading programs● students and staff need to have a say in what digital lessons are
created
● Consider creating a digital lesson when you will have a sub that doesn’t know your subject area
● YouTube is a valuable tool in uploading the video to a web page or Google presentation
● Create a YouTube account to upload your video. If they are upload as “unlisted” they can only be accessed with the URL
● on demand lessons will also be a communication tool with families informing them of how students are supported by the libraries.
