in reply to: Setting Up Your Flipped Classroom #2930

2-3 steps you would take to implement a flipped classroom approach in your classroom:

Explain to students what you will be doing and why – This means that I will establish norms for the workday. I will begin with one subject area (I teach 5th Grade)

Then I will spend some time getting students familiar with the technology and application used.
After, I will explain why it is important to complete activities at home. This means that activities will be differentiated to suit student group for example language will be simplified for ELL students. Choosing videos that are engaging will be of primary importance. Student feedback after viewing the video/material will be collected to ensure they are adhering to the some form an exit/entry ticket.

I believe that the main obstacle I will encounter is having a large number of student returning to school unprepared (various reasons such as no internet, I went out etc).

What aspects of blended learning are already an active part of your teaching practice?
What is an area or two for which you would need to develop your practice?

Currently I use Canvas and Nearpod. I group students to differentiate and scaffold work. I need to improve in the area of student interaction.

in reply to: Blended Learning Models #2917

I believe that the Split A/B model would work best for my students. One reason I believe this would work is my classroom has a large number of students. This model helps to group students so that they can get individual attention when in school. Alternatively, teacher will get an opportunity to review students’ work, ask questions and gather data that will help to drive instructions and make adjustments as needed.

I imagine using stations for in class sessions and using online tools such as digital documents and hyperdocs. Giving explicit instruction for online work and checking in at specific times I feel would help students stay on task.

in reply to: Defining Blended Learning #2916

Blended learning is bridged approach to classroom instruction. It consists of both traditional classroom face to face instruction as well as online virtual learning using technology.

As far as rating goes, I would rate myself a 2 as I am not very comfortable with this type of learning
