I have started to read Flip Your Classroom by Aaron Sams and Jonathan Bergmann. After each chapter, I will highlight key concepts and any other noteworthy ideas that will enhance my understanding of the idea, as well as how to implement it within my 4th grade classroom.
Chapter 2: The Flipped Classroom
- "Basically the concept of a flipped class is this: that which is traditionally done in class is now done at home, and that which is traditionally done as homework is now completed in class." (p.13)
- A typically day:
- Warm-Up Activity
- Discuss the video from the night before
- Students are given their assignment, which may include a multitude of activities within one class period.
- Spend time training students on how to effectively view your videos by turning off any distractions, rewinding and pausing the content, etc.
- Use the method of Cornell note-taking by having students take notes, write down questions they have, and summarize their learning.
- Student questions can inform you of how effective the material was presented to them so that, if necessary, content can be added to the presentation at a later date.
- Teachers become a tutor and can focus on students that are struggling the most with a concept.
- The class becomes centered around the students and not the teacher. Students are required to watch the videos and ask appropriate questions. The teacher provides feedback.
