Flipped Instruction Kenny McCarthy

Flipped Instruction Don’t change what you normally present, instead just change where you present Take the theory, it becomes the homework in the form of videos created by you to be viewed by the students at home Take the homework you usually assign, and it becomes the class activity

Cell phones make it easy to flip a classroom

Flipped Checklist  Whiteboards / Markers  App #1: Edmodo: create a group for the students to join  App #2: YouTube: you need an account to upload to your content  A willingness to “put yourself out there” on the web in the form of 5-15 minute instructional videos

Benefits Students get to pace themselves through the use of pause and rewind – great for students with IEP’s Students ask more questions in class during activities Teachers don’t have to repeat as much Maximize 1-on-1 time circulate during classroom activities set in cooperative learning groups rather than lecture in the front of the classroom Students out sick? No excuses!

Common Questions How do you check homework? Low-tech solution: Count the notes as the homework grade; the notes must be line for line what was on the whiteboards in the video High-tech solution: Create an edmodo or ASSISTment assignment Does it really work? Try it as an experiment, YMMV Students will be more interested in seeing videos made by their teacher than videos made by Khan Academy What if a student claims to have no computer access at home? Send them to the Math Assistance Center (MAC), open until 3:30PM, Monday-Thursday, 2:45PM on Friday
