I have flipped my math classroom for the previous two school years. As 2014 comes to a close and I reflect on how my flipped classroom has evolved into what it is today, I thought I would provide some questions to consider for those who are interested in delving into the world of flipped (or blended) instruction.
Who: Who can you learn from online or within your school?
Who can help provide you with support?
Who on Twitter flips and offers good insights?
What: What subject(s) will you flip?
What hardware/software will you use to instruct? (SMARTboard, camera/tripod)
What program will you use to record (Camtasia, Screencast-o-matic, etc.)
What platform will you use to host your videos? (EdPuzzle, EduCanon, etc.)
When: When will you provide flipped instruction? (M-TH? One day a week?)
Where: Where will students watch the videos? (At home? Before School?)
Where will the students watch the videos if they don't have access at home?
Do you have enough devices/computers for students to watch in your room?
*NOT ALL FLIPPED VIDEOS HAVE TO BE VIEWED OUT OF CLASS. You can set up a stations where students watch review videos in class, rotations where students watch videos as morning work throughout the week, etc.)
Why: (This question is KEY!)
WHY ARE YOU PLANNING TO USE FLIPPED INSTRUCTION?
What is your overall goal?
How: How will you guarantee students watched the videos?
How long will the videos be?
How will you assess students’ understanding?
I hope these questions help you if you're considering flipping. In the next four posts you can find information on:
