What is flipped learning?

Flipped Learning

In 2016, I decided to change the way I present information to my year 7 class.

 

In the flipped classroom model, students watch videos outside of class to learn content and then practice what they have learned in class, with their teacher.

 

I hope this will allow access to all students, not only in my class, but also to all year 7 students at Richmond High School.

What if the student doesn't have access to the internet at home?

The will be many ways of accessing the information necessary before entering the class:
​

  1. Have a computer but no internet: Videos can be access via USB at the start of each unit

  2. Have the internet but no computer: This may involve smart phones/iPods which should be able to access the videos without issue.

  3. No computer/internet but DVD player (Playstations/Xbox etc): The videos can be downloaded to a DVD/CD at the start of each unit

  4. No access at home: Libraries are good for internet access.

  5. No library outside school: The school library computers are available at recess and lunch to view videos. 

  6. Recess and Lunch are for food Mr Smith!: Mondays and some Thursdays the Learning centre can be kept open until 4pm

  7. All of those options fail!: There will be a limited number of mini laptops in class to watch videos on, unfortunately you do miss out on the class practise time with the teacher available. All homework will need to be done at home
