Flipped Classrooms

Kelsey Ridley Matignon Parent Group Meeting May 11, 2016

What’s the lip?

What’s the lip?

• Introduction → exploration →

application → deep understanding

• “Traditional” classrooms: initial

content delivery at school, exploration and application at home

• “Flipped” classrooms: content

introduction at home, exploration and application at school

Why the lip?

• Goal: richer use of classroom time
• Note-taking is passive; done better at home?

○ Pause and rewatch video, spend more time on areas you don’t understand, take notes at own pace, come prepared to class with questions

• Use class time for active learning and engagement

○ Problem solving, discussion, labs, activities, etc. done in the presence of teacher and peers ○ Feedback & real-time correction

How do you lip?

• Students at home:

○ Read text ○ Watch videos ○ Take notes ○ Brainstorm questions

• Students in the classroom:

○ Apply knowledge ○ Work alone & in groups ○ Get immediate help & feedback ○ Gain confidence & deeper understanding

Strategically-planned learning environment to enhance prior knowledge and provide an in-depth, personalized, and active learning experience.

Strengths and weaknesses

• “Real time” corrections

(while they still care!)

• More one-on-one face

time

• Differentiation
• Increased classroom

engagement

• Research shows

improved grades

• Students must do work

at home consistently

• Cannot ask a video or

textbook questions

• Requires device and

internet connection at home (sometimes for multiple students!)

• At home, teacher cannot

respond mid-lecture to student cues

Flipping Matignon Classes

Theology (Mr. Keppel)

• Home: short excerpts

from theology texts to familiarize them with complex ideas

• Class: Discussion,

highlight and synthesize key ideas AP Psychology (Ms. Burke)

• Home: read textbook

and take notes

• Class: review,

discussion, activities, demonstrate concepts, try experiments, make it personal (e.g. personality tests)

Flipping Matignon Classes

Geometry (Mrs. Ridley)

• Home: read and take

intro vocab notes, problem solving only after they have done so in class

• Class: solve problems,

active group challenges, discussion History (Ms. Vargas)

• Home: watch videos

(teacher-generated and online), interspersed questions

• Class: hands-on

partner activity applying knowledge

Let’s lip everything! … or not?

• Teachers know their

classrooms: students and subjects are different

• Even within the same

subject and class, it can go well in one unit and not in another

• Best used in conjunction

with a variety of teaching methods
