**Welcome and Introductions** to Flipped Instruction

**Ice breaker**: [|Poll Everywhere] **Video:** From Questions to Concepts: Interactive Teaching in Physics media type="custom" key="18958740"

// Discussion: What are you doing in your classroom? // // Discussion: How has multimedia effected the way you teach today? //

// Today's Meet //

It's not about Flipping the When and the Where, it is about Flipping the attention from the teacher to the student. Think of the Flipped Classroom more as a classroom with centers.


 * Understanding Flipped Instruction **



The Flipped Classroom is NOT:
 * A synonym for online videos. When most people hear about the flipped class all they think about are the videos. It is the the **interaction and the meaningful learning activities** that occur during the face-to-face time that is most important.
 * About replacing teachers with videos.
 * An online course.
 * Students working without structure.
 * Students spending the entire class staring at a computer screen.
 * Students working in isolation.

The Flipped Classroom IS: //[]//
 * A means to INCREASE interaction and personalized ** contact time ** between students and teachers.
 * An environment where students take ** responsibility for their own learning **.
 * A classroom where the teacher is not the "sage on the stage", but the "** guide ** on the side".
 * A ** blending ** of direct instruction with constructivist learning.
 * A classroom where students who are ** absent ** due to illness or extra-curricular activities such as athletics or field-trips, don't get left behind.
 * A class where content is permanently ** archived ** for review or remediation.

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">A place where all students can get a ** personalized ** education.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Although video is often used by teachers who flip their class, it is not a prerequisite, and by no means must a video be assigned as homework each night. As with everything else, the use of a particular learning tool (teacher-made videos, hands-on experiments, online simulations, supplementary text, or current news articles) needs to be carefully evaluated and implemented by the teacher to accomplish the learning objective.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Assumption: Videos have to be assigned as homework. WRONG!!! **
