Flipping Digital Learning

From my twitter encounter this week of #flipped learning, I created a magazine on Flipboard with a couple of articles that suggested tools for teachers to use for flipping. One of the two articles offered 54 tools. I thought that sounded pretty comprehensive so I took a look at that. The other had the top 10 tools. I thought that one would be more discriminating. I found both to be useful. I chose another article because it offered help with lesson planning for flipped classrooms. So far, the magazine has help with creating videos, what I should consider before flipping, flipping videos relevance to project-based learning. Lastly, one article offered help for teachers who see the “at home” as quite a hurdle. It stated, "But successful flipping has one big catch -- if it's going to work, the at-home learning absolutely must happen. And teachers have zero control over what happens at home.” Flipped learning is the future, so I’m sure I will be adding to this magazine for months to come.

  1. Sonja,
    I agree that we do not have control over what happens at home and in order for the flipped classroom to work students need to do their part.

    1. Yes, indeed. In my readings for this unit, I came across a solution of letting students who didn't get the chance to view, to allow them time at the start of class. Because these are short videos, too much time shouldn't be lost.
