      I purchased the books on this page that are well reviewed.  The Teens in.... series I didn't order because they are outdated and Going to School in India had a bad review.

Flip shifts

shared by sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12 - No Cached
  • Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating.
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      I'd like to use this concept as an intervention resource
  • The advantage of the flipped classroom is that the content, often the theoretical/lecture-based component of the lesson, becomes more easily accessed and controlled by the learner.
  • One of the major, evidenced-based advantages of the use of video is that learners have control over the media with the ability to review parts that are misunderstood, which need further reinforcement, and/or those parts that are of particular interest
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      I'd like to see how I can apply this concept on an administrative level and for staff PD
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • With the growth of open education resources via Youtube and Creative Commons, it is important to note that excellent video lectures have been and are freely/easily available.
  • Sal Khan is not showing any examples about what students and teachers are doing beyond Khan Academy. The news stories are not showing the open-ended problems the kids should be engaging with after mastering the basics
  • he focus is on the wrong things. Khan Academy is just one tool in a teacher’s arsenal. (If it’s the only tool, that is a HUGE problem.)
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      Great point!   The first is to learn how to find or create powerful flipped lessons.  Second is to have quality work to follow up application of the knowledge gained in the lesson.
  • It really is a cycle of learning model.)  It provides a sequence of learning activities based on the learning theories and instructional models of Experiential Learning Cycles
  • People learn experientially.  It is the teacher’s responsibility to structure and organize a series of experiences
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      this is really key to what common core is about.  We need to make sure that the works we give student are meaningful and relevant to what they are learning
  • This is where and when videos such as those archived by Khan Academy, Neo K-12, Teacher Tube,
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      flipped resources
  • n a user-generated learning environment, students could be asked to locate the videos, podcasts, and websites that support the content-focus of the lesson.  These media can then be shared with other students.
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      Similar to what we're doing with diigo and the PLN
  • Part of this phase includes an online chat for asking and addressing questions about the content presented via the videos, podcasts, websites.  Through a “chat” area such as Etherpad or Google Docs, learners can ask questions with responses provided by co-learners and educators.  Videos could even be embedded into a Voicethread so students can post comments/reactions to the content.
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      Another important aspect.  This would be good for getting input for all staff members and its probably more helpful for the ones that arent comfortable talking in groups.
  • They can view them in a learning setting that works for them (music, lighting, furniture, time of day) and can view/review information that they find particularly interesting or do not understand.
  • t is a phase of deep reflection on what was experienced during the first phase and what was learned via the experts during the second phase.
    • sheldon reynolds
      sheldon reynolds on 27 Jun 12
       
      The so what, how do we put it in action phase?
  • During this phase, learners get to demonstrate what they learned and apply the material in a way that makes sense to them

      What types of things do we do that cover each of these areas? I really like the cause and effect and reasoning ideas. What do we do that makes the kids think

      I would love to add more formal discussion to my math classroom next year, both small- and whole-group. I think discussion is a great way to promote exchange of mathematical ideas.

      We are already doing a lot of these things. But I'm still looking how effectively we are doing it. 
    • Kirsten Edwards
      Kirsten Edwards on 18 Jun 12
       
      Looking at what happens during the development of a student, I think it is critical that we support students in becoming confident mathematicians, since they are "forming conclusions about their mathematical abilities, interest, and motivation that will influence how they approach mathematics in later years." If we neglect to help them form a positive self-image, they will struggle with math throughout high school and later in life. I think part of helping students become confident mathematicians is providing them with opportunities to be successful in the math classroom regardless of their ability level and teaching them perseverance when it comes to problem solving.

  • Within these Common Core standards are six fundamental shifts that all educators (not just English teachers!) need to understand
  • build students’ background knowledge and vocabulary
  • build school-level curriculum that reinforces big ideas across content areas.

      Informational Text and Build Academic Vocab for teachers-we need to find informational texts for ourselves and students.  We also need to build our Academic Vocabulary to build our own content knowledge. 
    • Katy Vance
      Katy Vance on 23 Apr 12
       
      This is really important that we move beyond packaged informational texts from Edhelper and other "easy reader" versions.  We need to pull from the great resources  we have in our collection, news articles, magazines etctera.
