Flipped classroom\u00a0(from Wikipedia<\/a>)<\/p>\n Flipped classroom<\/b> is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning<\/a> that reverses the traditional educational arrangement by delivering instructional content, often online, outside of the classroom and moves activities, including those that may have traditionally been considered homework, into the classroom. In a flipped classroom model, students watch online lectures, collaborate in online discussions, or carry out research at home and engage in concepts in the classroom with the guidance of the instructor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n I am not a great fan of flipped learning. I have created many\u00a0video tutorials on my youtube <\/a>channel and I have trialed ‘flipping’ some lessons in the past but\u00a0I don’t feel it suits my style of teaching and the way I like to do things. Call me old-fashioned, but I like to see my students learning with my own two eyes. I also like to ask them questions to further their understanding and\u00a0increase their level of curiosity. I\u00a0enjoy class discussions and feel that taking this out of the classroom doesn’t work well for me (and therefore my students). The other downsides to flipped learning are:<\/p>\n Having said this, I know that it does work well for many\u00a0teachers and they have managed to overcome some of the obstacles above. I\u00a0have been using\u00a0flipped revision<\/strong> successfully for a number of years, particularly this year with my year 11 class\u00a0(see this post<\/a>). I\u00a0feel that getting students to watch videos on topics they have\u00a0already had the classroom experience of works well. This could be as a revision exercise or\u00a0prerequisite knowledge for an upcoming lesson.<\/p>\n So the point of this post.. I came across Anyhoo, here is an example of a\u00a0revision activity I created earlier for my year 10 class. I used a video taken from\u00a0RawMaths<\/a>\u00a0to create this.<\/p>\n\n
@<\/s>EDpuzzle<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on twitter today and started to explore their fantastic website. What they have created is a way of turning youtube videos into actual lessons, complete with interactivity and the opportunity for teachers to communicate using\u00a0their own voice during the videos. You are able to register your classes, see how many of them have watched vidoes you have set and view data on how they have performed on any questions you have asked during the video. This means you can monitor and track their learning and plan your\u00a0feedback in follow up\u00a0lessons.\u00a0You are able to achieve so much more with the videos created in this way so rather than ‘flipping’, you are kinda ‘double-flipping’ (this works well in my head!)<\/p>\n
