Welcome to . Tonight we will be discussing the Flipped Classroom. We look forward to sharing with you! https://t.co/97uPgTdlyn
-
Please take a moment to share where you are from and your favourite Easter treat!
-
Pat here from Wood Spirits. Got to say my favorite part is slowly cutting off the bunnies limbs till it's just a head.
-
I'm Kelly a PhD student at the and one of your moderators tonight for .
-
Get ready as Q1 exploring the Flipped Classroom is just a 1/4 turn away! .
-
-
Hey . I teach Adult Upgrading in Onion Lake and my favorite Easter treat is Cadbury mini-eggs.
-
Ellen from Regina, French K and Core French/Arts Ed specialist.
-
-
Yum. Always a favorite. Best part of adulting is I don't have to find them first!
-
Your favorite easter treat?
-
Hey , I'm Kendra, 3rd year MYrs pre-service teacher. Just finished my 3 week block!
-
And your favorite way of eating the chocolate bunnies?
-
Evening everyone, I teach a 4-5 split in Moose Jaw and I'm ambivalent about Flipped Classrooms. Interested in hearing others.
-
Aimee here from Battleford. I teach gr5. My fav Easter treat is wine.
-
-
Yum. The requirement after hiding all those eggs!
-
A1: Not 100% on this - learning the skills at home and applying them at school is what I've assumed it was! Correct me, please!
-
Gr 2 T lurking this evening as I know almost nothing about flipped classrooms. Looking forward to learning more!
-
Treats are probably the Easter Sunday breakfast traditions.
-
A1: What understand: flipped classes have students read/watch the "lesson" outside of class, then have time in class to practice
-
Legs first, so they can't hop away later...
-
Woohoo! I get to play the whole field tonight!
-
-
not a fan of chocolate, so Easter isn't my fav for treats!
-
I swear that sounded less perverted when I typed it...
-
-
A1.1: I share that assumption about the nature of Flipped Classrooms. Sounds like homework to me.
-
oh man, I didn't even think of that! I stuck to boring chocolate!
-
A1. I think a flipped classroom involves S's reviewing new content at home and then practicing it in class.
-
A1. Hard to implement in a FN school where access to internet activity at home is a luxury.
-
Jannae from Regina. Mini Eggs
-
Rice Krispie treats! Hahaha
-
I have the same concern that flipping makes more work for students
-
A1.2: Asking student to pre-read content & then discussing it in class is what I was doing in the 80-90's as a HS LA teacher.
-
yes! That's what I always thought. And I teach K, so I've always thought "well, that'd be nice for older kids"
-
-
Not sure I agree, sometimes it takes only seconds to learn a new topic. Hours to practice it.
-
This sounds like what I still do in university...
-
Are these the ones you hide in your pocket on the egg hunt?
-
Bite your tongue! Chocolate is NEVER boring. It also pairs with wine quite well. :)
-
-
A1. I don't know very much about it, but my understanding is the same as
-
I'm more into salty than sweet treats, I think. But wine always!
-
A2. Lack of time in class. It allows the Ss to go over it as many times as they want and yet still ask the next day in class.
-
Me too! Flipped classroom just seems like high tech version of assigned reading.
-
A2: A flipped classroom might give Ss more time to process info before having to discuss/use it.
-
A2: To allow students to have more help with the assignment portion of the lesson
-
-
A2: "flipping" is not all or nothing. It makes poor consistent work flow, yet there are sensible times to do it.
-
A2.2: I wonder though if it would add too much homework for Ss? I'm not a fan of lots of homework, so how do you balance?
-
Can someone give me a clear definition of flipped classrooms? Is it more than watching videos @ home, interacting in class?
-
Very good point! Like all strategies there is a valid time and place to use them. In a lot of cases not so valid.
-
I agree. I wonder how/if this is used in a primary room. I see it working well with middle yrs/highschool though.
-
A2. Allows students to get help with more challenging applications instead of using class time to just read or listen.
-
Maybe on days when it is necessary to send work home, substitute it with a lesson at home instead.
-
That way they still get more classroom support on practice.
-
How do you decide what is necessary to do at home? That's where I struggle.
-
agreed. A lot more onus on the family at home I think. Harder in a school that lacks parent involvement
-
A2.2: You flip reading time consuming content, or data collection like self-surveys. You don't flip instruction.
-
Depends on the teacher doing it. A lot of it is videos, but some send home interactive objects to work with.
-
You'd totally have to get parents on board too I think. Maybe include things for the whole family to learn?
-
A2 Can be helpful to use some of the student at home screen time in a productive way but students need balance. Not 24hr school.
-
You can't. Essentially it comes down to time. There are things that more naturally lend themselves to home life.
-
could be wrong, but I think that might have tried this in her 1/2 classroom!
-
But the basic premise is tech homework, right? Is that just substitution for assigned textbook reading?
-
A2.3: I'm not enthusiastic about instructional YouTube intended to teach concepts or skills, as homework.
-
Patrick that is a great suggestion.
-
Do students need to have internet access to participate in a flipped classroom?
-
So maybe we should only be using it on advanced concepts? But is the class not better for that?
-
Like what? I tried assigning some things for homework during my 3-week block. Still didn't get done by most.
-
-
Not always, depends on what you flipped from the classroom. It doesnt have to be instruction, c.b. data collect
-
what types of things would you see? Teacher-made videos? Articles/reading?
-
-
Not necessarily. Books and activities have always gone home. (homework)
-
Off to hockey but Ill be checking the archive later. Great discussion so far and an interesting topic. Thanks to
-
What's it called? Kahn Academy?
-
A2: for me flipped Class: grade 7's very interested in "survival" stories: threw away all other plans and used this as the focus
-
A3. More time in class to focus on the difficult parts of the lesson. Less time spent working on the "fluff" of it all.
-
A3: More time to answer ss questions and offer help
-
I was thinking more along the lines of basics at home and then moving beyond that in class.
-
A2 that allow students to bring their own interests and knowledge from home driving the lessons
-
Ah, I misread. My bad. I missed my glass of tweets tonight...
-
A3. Opportunities for Ss to replay and slow down the lesson until they understand
-
A3 More classroom time devoted to exploring concepts, correcting misconceptions, delving deeper, asking questions.
-
I'm thinking this is simply an advocacy of homework, albeit, well designed homework (I hope).
-
Any examples of this? You know, asking for a ... friend...
-
What type of flipped lessons do you do in a primary room? Curious to learn more.
-
So are you pro or anti-homework? Does homework not begin in the school? What makes it bad when it goes home?
-
-
ask students to do a simple kitchen experiment, then talk about the results together in class.
-
Who will save the homework?!?!?!
-
I would guess Social, Science, & Health. Lots of great ideas on Nat Geo Kids, How Its Made, etc.
-
what makes homework bad is that we rarely differentiate it. The extra grind is also admired by many.
-
kids interested in survival: did tons of research, created survival kits, read Hatchet: created graphs https://t.co/8JhVmNwxZR
-
-
Any examples of this? You know, asking for a ... friend...
-
I would definitely see using it primarily in math for additional examples etc available for Ss to view.
-
-
-
Valid point, but is it required to have Ss who are capable of doing work at home?
-
A4 Lack of home support in terms of time, space, materials, wifi, encourage, monitoring
-
A4 ss not doing the home portion
-
Another times Ss interested in pop version of cotton eyed joe: this led to study if east coast: listening to and performing song
-
I have made math strategy example videos on . Wasn't sure if that was considered "flipped"
-
A4. If it's completely flipped then there are issues of accessibility for all students to have internet/devices at home
-
disciplined students or parents. In class or at home, some are not ready to contribute to shared learning.
-
Q4: I struggle to see how it works in primary French immersion. Learning a second language is hard enough!
-
A4. Too much time required at home. Lack of resources at home.
-
A4 Refusal to complete at home or lack of parent support. Some do not believe it is their job to learn outside of school.
-
In flipped classroom Ss choose to work and explore at home and T is responsive embracing learning opportunities as they arise
-
I don't think it is a perfect fit for every teaching situation
-
teach your parents French? :D
-
Gr 2 teacher from Regina joining in late tonight. Here's hoping I can get caught up!
-
it's true. It would be nice though!
-
"Kind sir that cannot be"
-
I mean does homework assist in the transition to having disciplined Ss?
-
-
I would say so - anytime it frees the T up. Doesn't have to be working at home to be 'flipped'
-
I have students pursue learning independently at home... or chat on Edmodo (a good example).
-
Especially when you have 5 HS Ts each assigning their own lesson to be done at home. 1/2
-
Bad side of is it can't always be done before the bell. 2/2
-
-
It's been a tame night. isn't trolling. That cuts the tweets in half at least!
-
-
I'm implicated in +30 years of assigning homework. The character-building paradigm still has its claws in me.
-
Q5. How can the "idea" of the flipped classroom support change in learning in any classroom? https://t.co/iMze3zvt4i
-
A4: Perhaps Ts not fully understanding purpose of and jumping in before researching. I myself know very litte
-
Once had a disengaged student argue in class about why recess should be longer- led to month long study and formal debates
-
Maybe the ? we should be answering 1st is "should we assign homework at all?"
-
True, but there is only so prepared you can be before you try. Sometimes having a lack of knowledge is a good thing
-
A5.1: Is your classroom "Flipped" if it the students anticipating and pursuing outcomes? That happens for some in my room.
-
I'm in the same boat. Do I think it has value? Yes, but haven't had or taken the time to learn more.
-
Ppl seemed concerned about kids working too much at home I a flipped model. If done right it's not an issue.
-
Attitudes of Ps and Ss dependent on S's age.
-
I'll take that as a yes! I'd disagree that HW develops character. Slaves maybe, not character.
-
Absolutely. But some will be pro and some anti regardless of age.
-
A5: Even if it isn't true to form participating in prof growth & bettering ones practice is always good thing
-
I am the very same. Back to not seeing how it works in but I am sure there are ways!
-
I'm by no means experienced in using flipped classroom but I'd say start with one subject first
-
Allowed Ss to demonstrate their learning in any way they wanted for final book review: Ss came with poetry, guitars, art
-
A5.2: I'm concluding that if students flip a learning its good workflow. If teachers flip learning onto unprepared students, not
-
I would agree to a certain extent. As long as needs of students are met & not forgotten just for sake of something new
-
Absolutely! Find it's always a good idea to start small and grow from there.
-
Imo Ts r confused between blended, flipped and online. Very different purposes
-
Absolutely. There is a need to have an idea of what you're getting into. Not just because it's the latest
-
A5. you can ask students to do something in preparation for next lesson without being totally flipped: gather data, watch news
-
-
-
You mean watching a video online and watching a video online aren't the same thing?!?!?!
-
-
yes, we called it homework before someone renamed it.
-
A6 Making sure you understand what the benefit of flipped is compared to "normal" teaching. What will be gained by flipping.
-
A6. I think ss and ps need to be on board and supportive of the idea
-
Have a few ideas you'd like to discuss here on ? Add your suggestions and help us with upcoming chats! https://t.co/n4ET5j0iNx
-
Crotchety Hipster . "We did flipped before it was cool". =-P
-
With new ideas I wonder if I am cynical b/c of not knowing or b/c the purpose isn't Ss centered
-
-
Only a cynic until you give it an honest shot, then an educated opinion.
-
Yes, good point. I try to dive in head first with one thing at a time. Maybe I'm just not there yet!
-
Now we enumerate the ways you can directly instruct a person. Best involves interaction doesn't it?
-
I think you make a great point! Finding balance is key. Sometimes we have to lead by example to show benefits.
-
If I tried everything mentioned on I'd be a terrible teacher. too busy
-
If I tried everything mentioned on I'd be a terrible teacher. too busy
-
Don't need to go flipped for everything. Maybe a unit here or there as it suits S's needs
-
Thanks for sharing all this great information
-
Isn't that the truth!? Start cloning yourself so you can do it all!
-
Feeling a little tired now. Thanks to everyone for coming out on this first night of a break. Have a good week people.
-
hmmm not sure I understand .. Help a gal out
-
Was just going to say the same! There's no way to do it all committing to growth is key
-
That's a great point, probably not every topic lends itself well to classroom
-
I figure I'd need at least 15 clones to handle just the last month of topics.
-
Pick what works for your classroom and your Ss, move from there and no judgement
-
-
And no point using an instructional strategy when it's not effective for Ss learning
-
I'm visualizing direct instruction at home through great videos, but no chance to interact with presenter.
-
Oh why oh why does a hashtag for sasha grey show up each time I do ?
-
-
I have supervised school broadcasts in high school. Students drift if they can't respond to flow.
-
A7. I thing has this one covered in his last few A1 A2 A3 A5 A5 A6!
-
A7 More inquiry-based homework, like interviewing an expert/neighbour/family member or visiting local historical site
-
Im out and . Thanks for the great conversation this first night of spring break!
-
Good to have you. See you next week. Same time, same place!
-
Good to have you. See you next week. Same time, same place!
-
A7. English teachers have always flipped by having students read at home. Of course according to it was called homework
-
Yes! Homework! That's what this whole "flipped classroom" thing is! You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig.
-
Only tuned in for a short time tonight but have to run Have a great week off everyone!
-
Q8. What are some resources teachers can use to explore the concept of the Flipped Classroom? https://t.co/EePAVrobpC
-
Thanks for the time you had. See you next week!
-
A question I have always wondered as well https://t.co/I0d6tMtZHb
-
-
Do students need to have internet access to participate in a flipped classroom?
-
-
Lipstick on a pig? That's what my ex called me...
-
-
The archive for tonight's on the Flipped Classroom will be posted later this evening. Thank you for joining us & sharing!
-
-
-
-
A8. Look at s posts from tonight.
-
-
I'm in the same boat; love to learn more about it before using it https://t.co/jpBfGkfokm
-
-
A4: Perhaps Ts not fully understanding purpose of and jumping in before researching. I myself know very litte
-
-
Long story that's better left out of twitter.
-
Thank you all for attending and sharing tonight on . We appreciate your taking time to be here. https://t.co/GRsu2OB78O
