The flipped learning approach Wgtn PENZ Cluster: ICT in PE
What is a flipped classroom?
• An inverted teaching model that delivers instruction at home through interactive, teacher created videos.
• "Homework" tasks move to the classroom
Why flip my classroom?
• Teaching was getting stale, I needed something new and challenging
• Students learning at different paces
• Important information not being digested even though students present in class
• Students absent (sport, performances, sickness)
• Students not completing homework (a constant battle I have always had teaching physical education)
• Extra time spent re-explaining concepts to students who don't understand
What convinced me to flip my classroom?
• Flip Your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class Everyday - Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams
• Crystal Kirch: flippingwithkirch.blogspot.co.nz
• Khan Academy
• Apple iPads!!!
What my flipped learning looks like across the week
• Creation of 4-10 minute screencasts every week, uploaded to YouTube for students to access
• Interaction with students via Facebook on a daily basis
• Planning of practical tasks for EVERY lesson
Sample flipped video
What my "theory" lessons look like now
• 0-5 minutes: students straight into small group discussions about the latest video
• 5-15 minutes: each group poses a question (based on the video content) to the remainder of the class that attempt to answer it
• 15-30 minutes: teacher designed focus questions
• 30-60 minutes: practical based activities (usually outside the classroom) allowing students to apply concepts to real world situations
Challenges of the flipped classroom
• Student buy in
• Student access to technology
• Your own confidence around using ICT
• Time to create resources
• Ensuring students engage with the learning style and digest the information / videos / content you provide them with
Ensuring student engagement with videos
• Don't start flipping without full student understanding and buy in
• Teaching students how to watch videos properly
• WSQ sheets to complete while watching the video at home (watch, summarise, question)
• Tracking WSQ sheet completion
Summarising flipped learning
• Not a solution to the worlds problems
• My classrooms are far from stress free
• Students digest teacher created content from home at their own pace
• Concept engagement takes place in the classroom, with the support of peers and teacher
• Every student is thinking, writing, interacting, reading, listening, and speaking - EVERYDAY!!!!
