Caveats
● Homework will not suddenly get done 100% of the time.
● A bad lesson, flipped, is still a bad lesson.
● Remember -- students learn best as active creators not passive consumers.

Teacher Best Practices
DO:●Give students tech and time
●Publish, curate, and share resources
●Let students explore
●Coach
DONT:●Become laissez-faire
●worry about stolen thunder
●Think that you have to create all materials yourself
3 Benefits of Flipping
1.Control2.Choice3.Time
● Teacher controls quality○ create or curate a “perfect” delivery”- ○ same quality in morning as in afternoon.*
● student controls delivery timing *curating video or flipped lessons is just the
same as curating reading assignments for your class. It is still “real” teaching even if you didn’t invent it!
Benefits of Flipping1- CONTROL
Benefits of Flipping2- CHOICE
OLD WAYwhole group Instruction limited to the abilities of the delivering teacher in the given moment.
Only one delivery must suit all learners
FLIPPED WAY:Teacher &/or student chooses the best content for their situation from a large variety of styles, delivery methods, and sources.
singing, rapping, just-the-facts, etc.
Benefits of Flipping3- Time Efficiency
OLD WAY:student may miss info and be embarrassed to ask for repeat
Teacher is LIVE- may forget to deliver info or be delayed by class issues.
FLIPPED WAY :student can pause rewind, review. can watch when convenient to them.
teacher can be sure all is covered as desired the first time...
creating time for active, exploratory, integrated, student-driven learning
Example of aFlipped Faculty MeetingPiedmont Asthma/Diabetes Training
At home teachers viewed the training and took notes.
In meeting we used ColAR Mix app to animate teacher facts
Benefit of flipping-Instead of spending time viewing together, we can come in and share/discuss while doing an activity (demo of AR)
Gimmicks and activities help attention and memory also associate meeting time with interaction not just receiving.
