The Flipped Classroom - This is a Google Presentation I did with Ramsey Musallam at North Bay Cue at New Tech HS in Napa.
I listened to the Webinar done by Ramsey Musallam, Jason Kern, discuss the Flipped Classroom. The use of the FP is to stimulate discussion. Having prior experience with topic being taught in the classroom, allows for more participation in class and more interest. The teacher does not have to do the lecture part because it is already presented. The student gets to synthesize the information in class. This is great for all subjects. Ramsey speaks about the advantage of having home access to internet by all students. This a way to leverage technology to appropriately pair learning with individual needs. Educreations is an app to help classroom videos. Do "flipped classrooms " work for low income groups? Most students have mobile devices, so it is a strong possibility that all students have tech access at home.
I watched the video on Resilience, which described the challenge based learning project in Victoria, Australia. Yes, I am convinced that Challenge Based Learning (CBL) is a fantastic strategy to engage students in a really powerful way. PBL has worked well for me in my teaching. I always have taught that way, but to add in a challenge is another element, which makes the learning even more relevant and exciting. I am looking forward to creating a CBL for my students. There are so many levels of learning available when students are trying to find ways to solve a social problem.
Creativity, Motivation, Engagement - the goals of teaching and learning, which are not addressed in the traditional classroom. Daniel Pink's ideas of the importance of autonomy, mastery and purpose mesh perfectly into the idea of CBL and Flipped Learning. Students need to be able to use their own learning style to fully grasp what is important to learn, Mastery is only achieved with Purpose. If one sees no value in what he/she is learning, then it is pretty difficult to get true mastery. Memorization, regurgitation, and being successful on multiple choice questions does not beget mastery. Autonomy and Purpose begets mastery. This is the intrinsic motivation piece that Dan Pink discusses in his video.

- Evernote and FreeMind help students keep track of their learning. Why is so great to have a classroom community and why is it so great that our students are learning in this 21st century? Both are so valuable and quite stimulating for education. Building a community is the most important thing to do in a classroom. Flipped learning gives everyone a way to be involved and ready to participate.
- Challenges: Teacher giving up control in the classroom. Assessment. Tech mastery by teachers. I, though this is not mentioned, see a challenge being making sure students do the flipped part before coming to class. I have tried doing this and have problems with students not doing their part, which bogs down the conversation.
