  • I implemented a basic version of Flipped Learning during the Spring, one in which I created instructional videos and uploaded them to my Flipped History Videos YouTube Channel.
  • Now, I have more opportunities to listen to what the students want and need, and I can provide it for them.
  • Despite some advantages to this approach, many students continued to fall behind while others were learning the content on a superficial level.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Flipped Mastery (Flipped Learning combined with mastery learning), an approach that requires students to move through content at their own pace and demonstrate an understanding of the content or skill before moving on. I provided the materials, tools and support, while the students set goals and managed their own time.
  • The individualization and ability to work at their own pace gave students responsibility and ownership of their learning, which was not previously afforded in a traditional educational setting.
  • To augment the new learning model, I utilized a learning platform that encouraged collaboration and communication inside and outside of the classroom.
  • I connected with the team at EDUonGo after reading about their learning platform on the Flipped Learning Ning and was interested in incorporating it in my classroom
  • The incorporation of interactive videos, apps and embedded Google docs enhanced collaboration and increased students’ ownership of their learning.
  • 83 percent of students reported that their learning was more active and experiential, and 76 percent stated that they had more autonomy in how they demonstrated their learning of key skills and concepts (Click Here for the Complete Study).
  • it’s not just about a video at home and homework at school.

    - I liked what this teacher says about his approach to flipped teaching. I thought it was going to be same ol' same ol' but he offered up some good insights as to why just doing the video thing wasn't going to work. Not necessarily blog worthy, but thought I'd pass it along. - Jeff - I like how this discusses the trial and error of his approach. That it is something that he worked at for awhile and continues to evolve. -dave I love that he even has qualitative data in a case study to share. Let's get this guy to Michigan!

  • So, naturally, at this time of year I find myself deeply involved in the challenge of figuring out what programs to expand? Where should these programs be expanded to? How do we finance this growth? What other organizational goals and objectives will support blended learning program expansions? What professional development is needed to expand these programs successfully?
  • There were some major changes to the accountability measures that will be implemented – California is piloting Smarter Balanced Assessments of Common Core State Standards – and, consequently, we needed to revamp our internal benchmark measures as well as our curriculum.
  • The technology has enabled teachers to monitor student’s proficiency of discreet skills and provide personalized and targeted assignments so that fluency is not a barrier to developing conceptual understanding.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Not having the technology on day 1, has long lasting ramifications.
  • However, if the technology is not ready and relatively glitch free by opening day, it is not exactly confidence inspiring. And this loss of personal capital can leave a lasting impression. At the very least, it is vital that the technology staff and decision makers have a physical presence and make sure that the teachers feel 150% supported when the technology finally arrives.
  • We decided, for example, that each teacher would have a class set of Chromebooks. The teachers preferred this method of organization to some of the other proposals – e.g. each student having their own to use throughout the day – and so far this has been a huge success. Each teacher has developed a system within his or her classroom that works with the rest of his or her routines, and there has been very little breakage and zero theft.
  • This pilot also provided our tech department with some important data about our wireless infrastructure and what our schools would need in order to function in a 1 – to – 1 fashion moving forward. This is huge. I have heard of schools rolling out new 1 –to – 1 programs without this information causing the system to totally crashed, and then staff and teachers are disheartened and so on. We hope that through incremental expansion and close monitoring we can avoid this pitfall.
  • people need to learn things through experiencing the change, through making their own mistakes, and through adapting.
  • it is important to have some one, or a team, to manage the chaos, someone to say “we have been here before and this is what we said we would do should we find ourselves here again.”
  • It is important to have strong leaders in favor of this growth. Whether this be principals, superintendents or even teacher leaders, these decisions cannot be made only in an office. These decisions must be made by hearing all of the voices, hearing people’s fears and their excitement, and with an honest recognition that what worked well in on classroom or at one school, may work well at another and most certainly will end up looking at least a little bit different.

  • Look, I'm Learning is a feature-length, documentary film about a new revolution led by kids. To promote the value of technology in education, noted documentary director and producer Allyson Rockwell is partnering with school teachers and education leaders in Michigan to produce a film that tells the inspirational story of a Ludington, Michigan technology pilot program and its impact on the students and community.

    Jeff mentioned that it would be really nice to do a visit of these schools and dig into the ways they are personalizing/customizing the learning for the purpose of learner engagement and achievement. It sounds like a good idea to me.

    Per conversation with Dave and Jamie this morning, I'm skeptical if these "flipped" classes/schools are truly blended in a personal/customized way. If you just flip where homework is done and everybody stays in lock step, it might better serve the kids that they get more 1:1 help in class, but are they truly personalizing the experience for kids with regards to multiple representations and control of time/place/scope of learning? Simply shifting lectures to videos doesn't seem customized to me.

    To follow up, I'd like to visit these kinds of situations to witness what the f2f environment "looks" and tap students brains a bit to see how it's working for them.

    Peter: This blog post by Grant Wiggins (Understanding by Design) is pretty lengthy, but he does a nice job of talking about the pros and cons of "the lecture." While it's simple to say lectures are bad or ineffective because (insert your list here), he traces the instructional strategy of the lecture back to its roots and describes how it came to be such a controversial strategy for teaching. What I like about his post is that he presents both the effective parts about lectures (e.g., sharing thought processes, modeling and sharing cognitive structures) and the ineffective parts (e.g., most undifferentiated approach to teaching) so that we are not just throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Instead, we are continuing to ask the question what is the most effective strategy for the instructional situation?

    Peter J ArashiroMODERATOR MyBlend - Yesterday 7:09 PM Ok, just one more Grant Wiggins blog post to share (likely not the last!). In this post, he talks about the mindless practice of posting objectives or Essential Questions in classrooms so that students and teachers will know what they're working towards every day. Seems like a pretty good idea in theory, but in practice, the focus tends to be on the POSTING (so that teachers don't get written up for not doing this) instead of it helping guide teaching and learning. The big thing that came to my mind was how BH uses objectives to guide the design of instruction. I think we all agree that this is a good thing. However, these same objectives are also presented to students when they see how they're doing (assessment-wise) in class. When students read these objectives, do they make sense or are they more inclined to just look to see if they met the objective or not (by looking at the percentage). I think the strategy to use objectives to inform instruction is sound and we'll need to find ways to make it useful for both teachers and students.

  • The educator’s role has changed – that’s the fact. Students don’t need educators to produce/present new information – they can find them everywhere. And they are good in browsing, searching and collecting different information sources. The problem is that they don’t know how to connect them in a meaningful way.
  • The challenge I’ve faced was how to incorporate everything I read about cognitive overload in today’s fast changing digital environment.
  • Bite – sized information in a relation with curation
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Use everything you already have, filter out irrelevant information, include your own thoughts and connect everything in a new and coherent whole that is digestible and meaningful.
  • 5 benefits of this technique: Students take control of learning pace and maintain interest. This kind of a structure facilitates reusability and easier updating. Presenting from general to specific helps students to use, store and recall information much easier. In spite of different learning resource types, Learning Map gives students a consistent graphic outlook. Supports changing of reading behaviour – 4.4 seconds for every 100 words, non-linear reading.

    Multiple-Modalities, student anxiety for learners not prepared to have choices, competency-based learning is unique for each institutions based on research, allows for more 1-1 teacher support for students, some faculty provide more of an adviser role while others thrive as SMEs on the screens, place & time, good & bad days, agility of personalized learning, expectations of students for prompt responses proves to be a continual problem, teachers/institutions don't know where to start in all cases - advice is for IT infrastructure to be carefully planned out to align with student services side of an institution... start with a course or a degree program that lends itself well to a competency-based approach, start small, work with a team of others from other departments,

    This is a video talking about a history teacher's attempt to tackle differentiation through his work now at Knewton. It reminded me so much of our recent Willingham talks Peter started with us about kids who gravitate toward either experience (like Logan) and those who gravitate to content knowledge. It also reminded me of what we are doing with MyBlend except from a content creation focus.
