14 The Flipped Classroom is NOT: A synonym for online videos. When most people hear about the flipped class all they think about are the videos. It is the interaction and the meaningful learning activities that occur during the face-to-face time that is most important. About replacing teachers with videos.

15 The Flipped Classroom is NOT: An online course. Students working without structure. Students spending the entire class staring at a computer screen. Students working in isolation.

16 The Flipped Classroom IS: A means to INCREASE interaction and personalized contact time between students and teachers. An environment where students take responsibility for their own learning. A classroom where the teacher is not the "sage on the stage", but the "guide on the side". A blending of direct instruction with constructivist learning.

17 A classroom where students who are absent due to illness or extra-curricular activities such as athletics or field-trips, don't get left behind. A class where content is permanently archived for review or remediation. A class where all students are engaged in their learning. A place where all students can get a personalized education.

18 So that is nice, but... Does it increase participation? Does it increase authentic experiences? Does it increase learning? Was it worth the trouble?

19 The Answer, Part 2 Learning for Mastery or Mastery Learning –Bloom coined the term in the late 1960s Students start at the same place, but may not end together –Force the students to learn the material Slinger High School uses 80% as the minimum for mastery for class work and tests Also include all projects and the science notebook Students see answers for class work problems but not for test problems –We encourage students to ask for help remediating

20 The Answer, Part 2 Mastery –Change the game Points are now meaningless

21 The Answer, Part 2 Mastery –Overall score matters An 80% on every assignment is the same as a 100% on every assignment so long as the same amount of content is mastered

22 Mastery Allow for enrichment for accelerated students Allow for more remediation for the struggling student

23 Mastery and Assignments Moodle is a great answer –Create problem banks with multiple equivalent problems –Each assignment chooses a number of random problems Each attempt chooses a different random set –Each numerical problem chooses a random number set from a predetermined table So each randomly chosen problem has randomly chosen number set

24 Current Moodle Course http://moodle.slinger.k12.wi.us/course/vie w.php?id=11http://moodle.slinger.k12.wi.us/course/vie w.php?id=11 Past Moodle Course http://moodle.slinger.k12.wi.us/course/view.php?id=4http://moodle.slinger.k12.wi.us/course/view.php?id=4

25 Problems Creating the course –Very time consuming Try to stay a couple steps ahead –Do not recreate the wheel

26 Problems Changing the culture –First year had many problems Time Parents Students waiting until the last minute –Keep motivation level high
