Jeffrey, Do you like the look of this? As I was putting things together, it just seemed to be easier to place them into PowerPoint as I go. I'm just trying to get a feel for what the end product will look like. If you don't like the look I can totally scrap it. I have all of the info in a word doc.

This looks great to me! Hello Again (Thursday, October 24th, 2:25pm) I learned how to import a video into the voicethread but it is not as part of a slide, it is the whole slide, so for example, if you wanted to have a video clip be your "What is a flipped classroom" slide, you could, but aside from us adding comments to it, we can't make it look PowerPoint-y.

Who has sat through a lecture, only to realize that when they get home to complete their homework THEY ARE LOST? Then they return to school and possibly receive a small amount of help on the assignment, but ultimately must turn it in and cross their fingers. Well, there may be a solution for this type of challenge in today's classroom, and that comes in the form of a //FLIPPED CLASSROOM.//

According to Jeremy Strayer, "The flipped classroom inverts traditional teaching methods, delivering instruction online outside of class and moving homework into the classroom" (2011). The basic approach to all of this, is that a teacher utilizing the flipped classroom technique will be able to spend quality class time focusing on engaging students with their assignments.

The most popular methods that teachers use are pre recorded lectures that students can access while at home. Most of these lectures are recorded once and updated only as needed, and then distributed to all of the classes that are currently covering that particular topic. The student watches the lecture and then comes to class and completes assignments that can be actively evaluated by the teacher who is in free roam throughout the classroom. Several tools exists to make this style of teaching possible. Hafsa Wajeeh outlines 5 programs that are popularly used today: Panopto, Tegrity, Screencast-o-matic, Camtasia Studio, and Wikispaces. Also, fan favorites such as Youtube and Teachertube can also be used.

 * Narrative:** Where did this idea for the flipped classroom come from? Well, two chemistry teachers, Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams, noticed that students were missing a lot of school due to sports and activities, which required travel. These students had a hard time keeping up with their studies. The two teachers stumbled upon some computer software that would allow them to record a Power-Point slideshow along with their voices and annotations. They started recording their lessons in 2007 and posting them online for the students who had missed class. Other students and teachers started watching the Online lessons and the rest is history.

PROs OF A FLIPPED CLASSROOM


Talking points above

There are many benefits to a flipped classroom. First and foremost are the positive results that teachers are already witnessing. According to Tina Rosenberg, Clintondale High just north of Detroit was carrying a 30% overall failure rate in 2010. The next year they decided to flip their entire school based on promising results in trial classes. For 2011 Clintondale's failure rate dropped from 30% to 10%. Every individual subject taught within the school also had decreases in the percentages of students failing. This is just one school out of many who are beginning to see the true potential of a flipped classroom. Other Pros to the program include (DETAILS FROM ABOVE). Students are able to pause and rewind recorded lectures.

They have time to prepare notes and questions for the teacher the next day.

Lectures can be accessed at later dates for purpose of refreshing on topics.

Students who miss class due to illness or any other reason can access the lecture and not be left behind.

Flipped classrooms promote teacher involvement within the classroom.

Students get active feedback during classroom assignments compared to graded homework received at later dates.

 * Narrative:** Along with the pros come the cons. One reason some teachers aren’t flipping their classroom is because some of their students don’t have easy access to digital learning devices. Other reasons include lack of digital video production skills, too much extra work and time to make the recorded lessons and potentially missing out on the teachable moments when lecturing live. Can you think of some ways that these problems could be remedied?

 * Narrative:** When a teacher decides to try a flipped classroom approach to teaching, they may have many questions. Luckily, teachers across the country have gone online to share their trials and tribulations and have shared things they wish they’d have known when setting up their flipped classroom. One tip is to try flipping just one class to begin with in order to learn from the experience before totally overhauling all of them. Another tip is to know your tools! There are so many helpful tools that can be used in and with the flipped classroom. Some include YouTube, Google Apps for Education, Dropbox, Poll Everywhere, and Voicethread, just to name a few. Take a moment to look over the tips and tools listed on this page. (pause). What other tips or tools could be helpful in a flipped classroom?

Slide 8:

WHAT DO STUDENTS THINK ABOUT FLIPPED CLASSROOMS
Well, we know that there are plenty of teachers on board with this new educational trend. However, what do the students think about this new style of learning? Is this something that will aid in their studies, or will it simply be another device to stare at for an hour? Can we truly grab a hold of our student's interest with this style of learning? Well, one of Gulf Highlands' 4th grade classes can lend a helping hand in answering some of these questions.
