‘Flipping’

Ever set homework and...?★ ... counted the same

mistake 30 times?

★ ... wonder what you even taught them the lesson before?

★ ... had to teach something again to rectify misconceptions?

★ ... have countless excuses as to why it was too hard to complete?

★ Turns homework on its head

★ Takes the presentation element home

★ Becomes opportunity for students to apply knowledge / practise in the classroom

What is ‘flipped’ learning?

Benefits★ Differentiated classrooms

★ Mastery learning

★ More class time

“homework can get boring”

“people can help you”

“more relaxing lessons”

Pitfalls★ Technical difficulties -

technology can, and WILL, fail on you

★ At the mercy of your students - if they don’t complete the task, your lesson plan is useless

★ Lengthy planning process - be prepared for trial and error

★ Students need training in this new model of learning

✓Have a paper back up; publish your video on multiple sites

✓Sanction as per any other homework task - they get there eventually

✓Join forces! Recruit a colleague or two to share the load

✓So train them! Practise in class, excellent study habits

FALSE:

You NEED an iPad

You NEED to make videos

Your school NEEDS 1:1 technology

TRUE:✓You NEED to be organised✓You NEED to get pupils on board✓You NEED to be prepared for a challenge✓You NEED to be prepared to take a step back... this is terrifying!✓You NEED to experiment!
