Flipped Instruction Part 1 - Foundations

Add caption
Flipped instruction is a method of teaching where the student's homework is to consume and process content that is usually accessed in the classroom, and completing assignments that are usually considered "homework" in the classroom. The idea stems from the frustration many students have - students spend class time writing down notes, then go home to work on the assignment that the notes support, only to find they have several questions and now need the teacher for support. But of course, the teacher isn't available and is eager to start another set of lecture notes for the next class.

The flipped model changes the location of each activity and places the teacher and student together for maximum support and feedback for both parties. The student now has access to the teacher to answer those questions that can't be answered outside of class hours, and the teacher gets feedback on the effectiveness of their lecture.

The beginning of my Google Form
Today's flipped instruction usually consists of watching a video, answering some relevant questions, and having a written takeaway from the video lecture to take to class. For the teacher, valuable data is collected and a plan is created based on the data. Was there a concept that the class struggled with? Then open with a discussion about that topic. Did a small group of students struggle with the entire lesson, pull them aside to provide some needed support? Today's flipped learning helps you make those informed decisions to maximize student learning in many ways. Here is an example of some data I received from an assignment I posted last school year using Google Forms.


The new Google forms offer lots of insights without needing to enter Google Sheets for further analysis, however, I can still create a spreadsheet and fire up Flubaroo if I want to. Here is a screencast I created about my use of Google Forms for flipped instruction.

Even with this data, there is still more information I'd like to know. Fortunately there are online tools that were created specifically for flipped instruction. The next post will include Edpuzzle, why it's better than Google Forms, but not as good as my favorite online tool for flipped instruction.

Got Training?

After reading posts from many forums, I realize there are lots of teachers looking to get Google certified. Some are doing it as part of a growing trend, others are being forced by their district. While some teachers are comfortable with using these tools and taking the tests, most are not and are feeling the pressure of these new requirements. I'm here to help. As part of my Google Certified Trainer, I need to provide training for teachers and collect feedback on the sessions. Below is a calendar of my training. At this point, all training is free and online. I will conduct the training using Google Meet. This will allow me to share my screen as I use the Google tools, and allow attendees to share their screen so I can guide them through tasks while the rest of the group follows along. If you'd like to participate in my upcoming training, please register using this form. I will be sure to email you all details as they develop. Loading…
