Students can pause and rewind the video based on how they are grasping the lesson. They can look back at old videos as they work to synthesize the material and make connections. In class, instead of standing at the board to deliver what I need to cover for the day, I can sit with individuals and customize class to their needs. Though this was a start, I realized that I could embrace tech tools to make the video watching experience a more active exercise for my students. And this is where I turned to Edpuzzle. Students now have the chance to self-assess as they watch, and I come to class equipped with the analytics from the video so I can pre-identify what needs to be done for the day. In class, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/54486/how-collaboration-unlocks-learning-and-lessens-student-isolation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">students work on problems in groups\u003c/a>, collaboratively, at a pace that suits them. They have plenty of time in the classroom to get problems solved and questions answered and to chat about their process, reasoning, and thoughts. When I want to engage the class in a full discussion, I usually do this through Pear Deck so that no student can be a passive participant. Students have time to process and respond to the question on their own computer screen. They can contribute without needing to raise their hand, and we can discuss mistakes without singling any child out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm always on a mission to find tools that help me get to know my students as individuals and build meaningful relationships with them. The information that both Edpuzzle and Pear Deck provide through the teacher dashboard gives me the ability to amplify student learning and give each student a voice in the classroom. These tools allow me to hear from each and every student in the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technology provides a powerful way to engage students, inform individual and group instruction, differentiate lessons, document work, and empower students to direct their own learning. But if you want technology to be a transformative force in your classroom, school, or district, you have to start with \"why?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/F4fgT0M4qao\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are interested in seeing how we have approached this question at my school, take a moment to watch this video I created to explain our philosophy at Bullis: \"Empathy in EdTech: How We Are Transforming Learning at Bullis\" ( this video can also be found on the resources page of \u003ca href=\"https://techiemusings.com/techwithheart/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my website\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As both a teacher and technology integrationist, I know the importance of finding simple solutions that keep the focus on the learning. One way to ensure we start the conversation with the pedagogy is to identify a set of go-to tools we help our students feel comfortable with, then to set a routine where using these tools becomes natural. Maintaining a small suite of tools also helps our students become fluent with technology that will boost their learning and productivity and serve them well in the long run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the primary reasons Pear Deck, Flipgrid, and Edpuzzle are go-to tools in my classroom:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>They provide each student in the classroom an equal voice. In a traditional classroom discussion, students are called on or raise their hands to respond. As a result, teachers often repeatedly hear from the same students. In contrast, Pear Deck, Flipgrid, and Edpuzzle provide each student an opportunity to respond individually.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>They engage each student in the room. With these tools, each student is required to actively participate and respond to each question, form an opinion, and submit an answer.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>They create a safe space for each student to honestly respond and make mistakes. Students have time to draft out and revise responses before posting them. And the teacher can make answers anonymous to the group so students don't have to worry about how their peers might perceive their answers or worry about answering incorrectly (in Flipgrid, the teacher can choose to turn on moderated posts to keep all videos private to just the teacher).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>They allow educators to efficiently and effectively target class and individual student needs. The analytics provided show class trends and also provide indicators of who is struggling.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>They differentiate how students can respond to questions. While some students are wonderful with oral discussion and on-the-spot responses, other students are best when they have time to process and collect their thoughts before recording or typing an answer.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-54529 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2019/09/Roshan-e1569824553133.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2019/09/Roshan-e1569824553133.jpg 247w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2019/09/Roshan-e1569824553133-160x194.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\">\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/buddyxo\">Stacey Roshan\u003c/a> is Director of Innovation & Educational Technology at Bullis School and author of \u003ca href=\"https://www.daveburgessconsulting.com/books/tech-with-heart/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tech with Heart: Leveraging Technology to Empower Student Voice, Ease Anxiety, & Create Compassionate Classrooms\u003c/a>.

The information that both Edpuzzle and Pear Deck provide through the teacher dashboard gives me the ability to amplify student learning and give each student a voice in the classroom. These tools allow me to hear from each and every student in the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technology provides a powerful way to engage students, inform individual and group instruction, differentiate lessons, document work, and empower students to direct their own learning. But if you want technology to be a transformative force in your classroom, school, or district, you have to start with \"why?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/F4fgT0M4qao\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are interested in seeing how we have approached this question at my school, take a moment to watch this video I created to explain our philosophy at Bullis: \"Empathy in EdTech: How We Are Transforming Learning at Bullis\" ( this video can also be found on the resources page of \u003ca href=\"https://techiemusings.com/techwithheart/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my website\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As both a teacher and technology integrationist, I know the importance of finding simple solutions that keep the focus on the learning. One way to ensure we start the conversation with the pedagogy is to identify a set of go-to tools we help our students feel comfortable with, then to set a routine where using these tools becomes natural. Maintaining a small suite of tools also helps our students become fluent with technology that will boost their learning and productivity and serve them well in the long run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the primary reasons Pear Deck, Flipgrid, and Edpuzzle are go-to tools in my classroom:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>They provide each student in the classroom an equal voice. In a traditional classroom discussion, students are called on or raise their hands to respond. As a result, teachers often repeatedly hear from the same students. In contrast, Pear Deck, Flipgrid, and Edpuzzle provide each student an opportunity to respond individually.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>They engage each student in the room. With these tools, each student is required to actively participate and respond to each question, form an opinion, and submit an answer.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>They create a safe space for each student to honestly respond and make mistakes. Students have time to draft out and revise responses before posting them. And the teacher can make answers anonymous to the group so students don't have to worry about how their peers might perceive their answers or worry about answering incorrectly (in Flipgrid, the teacher can choose to turn on moderated posts to keep all videos private to just the teacher).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>They allow educators to efficiently and effectively target class and individual student needs. The analytics provided show class trends and also provide indicators of who is struggling.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>They differentiate how students can respond to questions. While some students are wonderful with oral discussion and on-the-spot responses, other students are best when they have time to process and collect their thoughts before recording or typing an answer.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-54529 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2019/09/Roshan-e1569824553133.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2019/09/Roshan-e1569824553133.jpg 247w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2019/09/Roshan-e1569824553133-160x194.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\">\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/buddyxo\">Stacey Roshan\u003c/a> is Director of Innovation & Educational Technology at Bullis School and author of \u003ca href=\"https://www.daveburgessconsulting.com/books/tech-with-heart/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tech with Heart: Leveraging Technology to Empower Student Voice, Ease Anxiety, & Create Compassionate Classrooms\u003c/a>.

Biggest criticisms: watching videos of lectures wasn't all that revolutionary, that it perpetuated bad teaching and raised questions about equal access to digital technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now flipped classroom may have reached equilibrium, neither loved nor hated, just another potential tool for teachers -- if done well. “You never want to get stuck in a rut and keep doing the same thing over and over,” said \u003ca href=\"http://www.aaronsams.com/about-aaron/\">Aaron Sams\u003c/a>, a former high school chemistry teacher turned consultant who helped pioneer \u003ca href=\"http://flipped-learning.com/\">flipped classroom learning\u003c/a> in an \u003ca href=\"http://home.edweb.net/\">edWeb\u003c/a> webinar. “The flipped classroom is not about the video,” said \u003ca href=\"http://www.ted.com/speakers/jon_bergmann.html\">Jonathan Bergmann\u003c/a>, Sams’ fellow teacher who helped fine tune and improve a flipped classroom strategy. “It’s about the active engaged stuff you can do in your class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“There is no place for them to hide. They had to converse with me and tell me when they were ready to be assessed on something.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The two teachers admit when they started flipping their classrooms they put everything into video form. Now, they've taken a step back and realized some things shouldn't be in lecture form, and \u003c!--more-->therefore shouldn't be videos either. Instead, the two teachers have embraced what they call mastery learning, with an emphasis on students taking control of their own learning. Instructional videos are an optional part of a bigger move towards asynchronous learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The best use of class time is to meet the individual needs of each learner, not driving the class with predetermined curriculum,” Sams said. So he and Bergmann decided to make watching the video lectures optional. The videos are available, but if students felt they could learn it better in some other way, they're encouraged to do what works best for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080\">[RELATED READING: \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/05/can-ted-talks-really-work-in-a-classroom/\">Can TED Talks Really Work in the Classroom?\u003c/a>]\u003c/span>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the most important skills that any student can learn is where to go for information and resources,” Sams said. Instead of following a rigid curriculum, the two teachers decided on the key learning objectives of the class -- the things they felt their students really needed to know --and structured the class around those. Then they offered students a menu of resources that included instructional video, some sort of practice and links to the corresponding section of a textbook. The teachers became resources and helped provide benchmarks to keep students on track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The educators say this method is working for them because they've decided to make their classrooms mastery based, whereby \"a student gets to the end of some learning unit and must pass whatever kind of assessment you have before he can move on,” Sams said -- very much like \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/04/to-break-the-mold-is-competency-learning-the-key/\">competency-based learning\u003c/a>. “There is no place for them to hide. They had to converse with me and tell me when they were ready to be assessed on something,” Sams said. When he taught in a more traditional way, Sams admitted there were students he hardly knew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT'S IT LOOK LIKE?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working with a mastery-based model means students are not all learning the same thing at the same time. Bergmann said the first five minutes of class are essential to setting the class into productive motion by quickly assessing where students are and directing them to various stations around the room. ”Your class looks like organized chaos,” Bergmann said. “It’s very powerful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> “The flipped classroom is not about the video. It’s about the active engaged stuff you can do in your class.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Students are scattered around the room learning a topic in their own way and teachers are walking around talking to students, answering questions and checking in on their progress. There’s no assigned homework, unless a student feels he needs to do some extra work to understand a concept. “The kids who are going to get most of my time are the kids who need it,” said Sams. “It’s the kids who are struggling or the kids who need me hovering over their shoulder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sams and Bergmann soon realized that effective flipped classrooms didn’t include videos of science demonstrations. That’s the most exciting part of science and kids should get to see it up close. Since students were moving at different paces, Sams and Bergmann had to demonstrate the same thing multiple times. “We did demos for just a handful of students,” said Sams. “It was a far more intimate environment so we could converse with kids about what was going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Disciplinary issues also diminished significantly. “When I was the guy up front, all the attention was supposed to be on me and it was really easy for a disruptive kid to pull the attention to himself,” said Sams. With everyone working on their own projects, one kid has much less power to disrupt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ASSESSING WITH MASTERY MODEL\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most challenging parts of a messy, asynchronous classroom is that kids aren't all ready to be assessed at the same time, and when they do take a test, they might not pass. Sams’ and Bergmann's chemistry classes have formative assessments, constant checking in and talking about work with students on a daily basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two teachers also spent two years building up a store of test questions in \u003ca href=\"https://moodle.org/\">Moodle\u003c/a>, a free learning management system that randomly generates tests. Those who fail the test can take another to prove mastery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took a lot of work to build up the system that now works smoothly and the process revealed challenges in the mastery model. “One of the dark sides of mastery is the demoralizing effect,” Bergmann said. He had students that he knew understood the material because of his daily work with them, but who couldn’t pass the tests. That’s a frustrating and demotivating experience for a student.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sams and Bergmann turned to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.udlcenter.org/aboutudl\">Universal Design for Learning\u003c/a>, a set of curriculum principles that maintains students need more than one way to learn information and more than one way to demonstrate knowledge. Following the second principle, the two teachers allowed their students to show they understood the material any way they wanted. Sams said he received songs, welding projects and even hand-drawn graphic novels. He admits those didn’t help the students take standardized tests, but they showed chemistry understanding, his main goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If this all sounds messy, it is. Sams and Bergmann are the first to admit that there are challenges, especially around grading. But, they’ve discovered a way to take flipped learning to another level, offering it as one option in a smorgasbord of instructional materials and letting students have the autonomy to choose what works best for them.

Biggest criticisms: watching videos of lectures wasn't all that revolutionary, that it perpetuated bad teaching and raised questions about equal access to digital technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now flipped classroom may have reached equilibrium, neither loved nor hated, just another potential tool for teachers -- if done well. “You never want to get stuck in a rut and keep doing the same thing over and over,” said \u003ca href=\"http://www.aaronsams.com/about-aaron/\">Aaron Sams\u003c/a>, a former high school chemistry teacher turned consultant who helped pioneer \u003ca href=\"http://flipped-learning.com/\">flipped classroom learning\u003c/a> in an \u003ca href=\"http://home.edweb.net/\">edWeb\u003c/a> webinar. “The flipped classroom is not about the video,” said \u003ca href=\"http://www.ted.com/speakers/jon_bergmann.html\">Jonathan Bergmann\u003c/a>, Sams’ fellow teacher who helped fine tune and improve a flipped classroom strategy. “It’s about the active engaged stuff you can do in your class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“There is no place for them to hide. They had to converse with me and tell me when they were ready to be assessed on something.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The two teachers admit when they started flipping their classrooms they put everything into video form. Now, they've taken a step back and realized some things shouldn't be in lecture form, and \u003c!--more-->therefore shouldn't be videos either. Instead, the two teachers have embraced what they call mastery learning, with an emphasis on students taking control of their own learning. Instructional videos are an optional part of a bigger move towards asynchronous learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The best use of class time is to meet the individual needs of each learner, not driving the class with predetermined curriculum,” Sams said. So he and Bergmann decided to make watching the video lectures optional. The videos are available, but if students felt they could learn it better in some other way, they're encouraged to do what works best for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080\">[RELATED READING: \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/05/can-ted-talks-really-work-in-a-classroom/\">Can TED Talks Really Work in the Classroom?\u003c/a>]\u003c/span>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the most important skills that any student can learn is where to go for information and resources,” Sams said. Instead of following a rigid curriculum, the two teachers decided on the key learning objectives of the class -- the things they felt their students really needed to know --and structured the class around those. Then they offered students a menu of resources that included instructional video, some sort of practice and links to the corresponding section of a textbook. The teachers became resources and helped provide benchmarks to keep students on track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The educators say this method is working for them because they've decided to make their classrooms mastery based, whereby \"a student gets to the end of some learning unit and must pass whatever kind of assessment you have before he can move on,” Sams said -- very much like \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/04/to-break-the-mold-is-competency-learning-the-key/\">competency-based learning\u003c/a>. “There is no place for them to hide. They had to converse with me and tell me when they were ready to be assessed on something,” Sams said. When he taught in a more traditional way, Sams admitted there were students he hardly knew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT'S IT LOOK LIKE?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working with a mastery-based model means students are not all learning the same thing at the same time. Bergmann said the first five minutes of class are essential to setting the class into productive motion by quickly assessing where students are and directing them to various stations around the room. ”Your class looks like organized chaos,” Bergmann said. “It’s very powerful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> “The flipped classroom is not about the video. It’s about the active engaged stuff you can do in your class.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Students are scattered around the room learning a topic in their own way and teachers are walking around talking to students, answering questions and checking in on their progress. There’s no assigned homework, unless a student feels he needs to do some extra work to understand a concept. “The kids who are going to get most of my time are the kids who need it,” said Sams. “It’s the kids who are struggling or the kids who need me hovering over their shoulder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sams and Bergmann soon realized that effective flipped classrooms didn’t include videos of science demonstrations. That’s the most exciting part of science and kids should get to see it up close. Since students were moving at different paces, Sams and Bergmann had to demonstrate the same thing multiple times. “We did demos for just a handful of students,” said Sams. “It was a far more intimate environment so we could converse with kids about what was going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Disciplinary issues also diminished significantly. “When I was the guy up front, all the attention was supposed to be on me and it was really easy for a disruptive kid to pull the attention to himself,” said Sams. With everyone working on their own projects, one kid has much less power to disrupt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ASSESSING WITH MASTERY MODEL\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most challenging parts of a messy, asynchronous classroom is that kids aren't all ready to be assessed at the same time, and when they do take a test, they might not pass. Sams’ and Bergmann's chemistry classes have formative assessments, constant checking in and talking about work with students on a daily basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two teachers also spent two years building up a store of test questions in \u003ca href=\"https://moodle.org/\">Moodle\u003c/a>, a free learning management system that randomly generates tests. Those who fail the test can take another to prove mastery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took a lot of work to build up the system that now works smoothly and the process revealed challenges in the mastery model. “One of the dark sides of mastery is the demoralizing effect,” Bergmann said. He had students that he knew understood the material because of his daily work with them, but who couldn’t pass the tests. That’s a frustrating and demotivating experience for a student.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sams and Bergmann turned to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.udlcenter.org/aboutudl\">Universal Design for Learning\u003c/a>, a set of curriculum principles that maintains students need more than one way to learn information and more than one way to demonstrate knowledge. Following the second principle, the two teachers allowed their students to show they understood the material any way they wanted. Sams said he received songs, welding projects and even hand-drawn graphic novels. He admits those didn’t help the students take standardized tests, but they showed chemistry understanding, his main goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If this all sounds messy, it is. Sams and Bergmann are the first to admit that there are challenges, especially around grading. But, they’ve discovered a way to take flipped learning to another level, offering it as one option in a smorgasbord of instructional materials and letting students have the autonomy to choose what works best for them. Kids got behind, but the teachers checked their progress along the way and structured the course so that the most necessary information was in the first four sections, with nice-to-know material in the fifth section.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would rather our kids actually know 80 percent of the content, instead of being exposed to 100 percent of the content,” said Bergmann.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/mindshift/28696/flipped-classroom-2-0-mastery-levelcomptenecy-learning-with-videos","authors":["234"],"categories":["mindshift_195","mindshift_193"],"tags":["mindshift_1021","mindshift_651","mindshift_1040","mindshift_873"],"featImg":"mindshift_28950","label":"mindshift"},"mindshift_24385":{"type":"posts","id":"mindshift_24385","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"mindshift","id":"24385","score":null,"sort":[1350495128000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"what-will-work-in-new-blended-learning-experiment","title":"What Will Work in New Blended Learning Experiment?","publishDate":1350495128,"format":"aside","headTitle":"MindShift | KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"mindshift"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_24402\" class=\"wp-caption center\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/10/what-will-work-in-new-blended-learning-experiment/10_11-15_newtech_0505/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-24402\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-24402\" title=\"10_11.15_newtech_0505\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2012/10/10_11.15_newtech_0505-620x412.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"412\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"> \u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch5>\u003cstrong>By Katrina Schwartz\u003c/strong>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp class=\"dropcap-serif\">As the blended learning movement grows in the U.S., schools will need to experiment with what works best in different types of settings.

The idea is to connect educators interested in integrating technology into the classroom with tech entrepreneurs who can create the software, apps and tools that will be most useful to teachers. “This combination of world class entrepreneurship with front line educational expertise is extremely promising. And if we can’t make that intersection happen here, at the heart of Silicon Valley, then we don’t think it will be easy to make it happen anywhere,” Greenberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HOW IT WILL WORK\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greenberg says the fund is willing to give up to $700,000 to about 25 schools if they can demonstrate a unique idea or way to implement blended learning that pushes the conversation forward. Grantees also must have strong leadership teams, a track record of success and a financially sustainable model. The fund expects schools to be able to offer their innovations on the same budget as a traditional California public school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fund isn’t pushing any particular model of blended learning like \u003ca href=\"http://www.rsed.org/\">Rocketship\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.khanacademy.org/\">Khan Academy \u003c/a>or the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2011/09/the-flipped-classroom-defined/\">flipped classroom\u003c/a>. Rather, they want teachers to evaluate what works and what doesn’t from those “1.0 models” and then collaborate with ed-tech entrepreneurs to develop new tools for the areas that have been neglected or don’t work well. “You start to mix those things together in a real school, with really good educators and really good kids who are bought into this vision and that’s when it starts to get exciting,” said Greenberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/02/whats-blended-learning-ask-salman-khan/\">Blended learning\u003c/a> is a relatively new concept with a mixed track record.

But \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/10/whats-worth-investing-in-criteria-for-choosing-technology-for-learning/\">educators point out\u003c/a> that too often ed-tech focuses on improving test scores rather than on building creative thinking and a passion for learning in students and that schools still need passionate, innovative and dedicated teachers, no matter how kids absorb the content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greenberg agrees that it’s too early to expect schools across the country to buy into a blended learning model.

Some of those schools could be charter schools, others public, some built from the ground up and others a transformed existing schools.

And if all goes according to plan, in five years the various Silicon Schools will be networking with one another, sharing ideas with schools from around the world and thinking about how to scale up and replicate best practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch5>\u003c/h5>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003ch5>RELATED READING:\u003c/h5>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/10/whats-worth-investing-in-criteria-for-choosing-technology-for-learning/\">What's Worth Investing In?

The idea is to connect educators interested in integrating technology into the classroom with tech entrepreneurs who can create the software, apps and tools that will be most useful to teachers. “This combination of world class entrepreneurship with front line educational expertise is extremely promising. And if we can’t make that intersection happen here, at the heart of Silicon Valley, then we don’t think it will be easy to make it happen anywhere,” Greenberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HOW IT WILL WORK\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greenberg says the fund is willing to give up to $700,000 to about 25 schools if they can demonstrate a unique idea or way to implement blended learning that pushes the conversation forward. Grantees also must have strong leadership teams, a track record of success and a financially sustainable model. The fund expects schools to be able to offer their innovations on the same budget as a traditional California public school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fund isn’t pushing any particular model of blended learning like \u003ca href=\"http://www.rsed.org/\">Rocketship\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.khanacademy.org/\">Khan Academy \u003c/a>or the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2011/09/the-flipped-classroom-defined/\">flipped classroom\u003c/a>. Rather, they want teachers to evaluate what works and what doesn’t from those “1.0 models” and then collaborate with ed-tech entrepreneurs to develop new tools for the areas that have been neglected or don’t work well. “You start to mix those things together in a real school, with really good educators and really good kids who are bought into this vision and that’s when it starts to get exciting,” said Greenberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/02/whats-blended-learning-ask-salman-khan/\">Blended learning\u003c/a> is a relatively new concept with a mixed track record. Integrating certain types of technology into the classroom gives teachers and students real-time feedback so that each student can work at his or her own pace, and can give teachers accurate information that can help them better group students according to comprehension levels on a specific subjects. But \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/10/whats-worth-investing-in-criteria-for-choosing-technology-for-learning/\">educators point out\u003c/a> that too often ed-tech focuses on improving test scores rather than on building creative thinking and a passion for learning in students and that schools still need passionate, innovative and dedicated teachers, no matter how kids absorb the content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greenberg agrees that it’s too early to expect schools across the country to buy into a blended learning model. But he does hope that some of the strategies that are piloted in schools funded by the Silicon Schools Fund will inspire other teachers and administrators to take elements back to their own schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see creating new schools that are essentially laboratories of innovation, that are trying many different approaches, all with the idea of making education more powerful for each student and each teacher,” explained Greenberg. In five years, he envisions that the Bay Area will have somewhere close to 25 examples of how blended learning could be done. Some of those schools could be charter schools, others public, some built from the ground up and others a transformed existing schools. He wants to see it all so that lots of new ideas and ways of doing things can be tested.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/mindshift/24385/what-will-work-in-new-blended-learning-experiment","authors":["4354"],"categories":["mindshift_195","mindshift_193"],"tags":["mindshift_399","mindshift_955","mindshift_651","mindshift_295","mindshift_481","mindshift_954"],"featImg":"mindshift_24402","label":"mindshift"},"mindshift_23270":{"type":"posts","id":"mindshift_23270","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"mindshift","id":"23270","score":null,"sort":[1344876962000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"five-smart-habits-to-develop-for-back-to-school","title":"Five Smart Habits to Develop for Back to School","publishDate":1344876962,"format":"aside","headTitle":"MindShift | KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"mindshift"},"content":"\u003ch5>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/08/five-smart-habits-to-develop-for-back-to-school/865425441-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23303\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-23303\" title=\"865425441\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2012/08/8654254412-620x410.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"410\">\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003ch5>By Ben Stern, \u003ca href=\"https://www.edsurge.com\">EdSurge\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp class=\"dropcap-serif\">The enemy of innovation and growth is routine. These auspicious weeks before the school year commences are the perfect time to create a new routine that will ensure innovation in your instruction and growth as an instructor. Here are some idea for those who want to take advantage of these next few weeks to guarantee the best year they've ever had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. MOVE BEYOND THE TEXTBOOK\u003c/strong> Textbooks are by nature restrictive. The chapter order is an imposition; the information within the book is only as current as the publication date. If you can, liberate yourself from the book! If you don’t have the luxury of foregoing textbooks altogether, you can still supplement them. The first step is to choose a destination for the resources. If your school doesn’t already use a Learning Management System like Moodle or Blackboard, there are some excellent, free resources. \u003ca href=\"http://www.edmodo.com/\">Edmodo\u003c/a> looks and feels a bit like Facebook but with education-friendly features like assignment postings, quizzes, due dates, and more. If you’d prefer more customizability and care less about the aesthetics of your destination you could build a wiki with your students on \u003ca href=\"http://www.wikispaces.com/\">Wikispaces\u003c/a>. Once you set up your destination, you can begin to aggregate content and resources. Put a few resources up for the beginning of the year, but then invite students to contribute much of the material thereafter--an excellent strategy for enriching students' learning. For instance, you might have students find interesting websites that relate to the themes of each chapter of the text. Students can then guide the class with their discoveries. You could have students rewrite sections of the textbook based on these resources and collect the best submissions in a wiki that becomes \u003c!--more-->a sort of “living” textbook for your particular class. You can even invite students to discuss subject-related Youtube videos in an Edmodo discussion board, then pick up the discussion in class the next morning as a warm-up. Now is the best time to work out the kinks in these platforms (of which there are only a very few) and develop unit plans that make full use of them. You'll thank yourself later (as will the students)! \u003cstrong>2. BECOME AN EXPERT IN ONE TOOL \u003c/strong> There are at least half a dozen apps and software for every job. Should you use \u003ca href=\"http://www.diigo.com/\">Diigo\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://delicious.com/\">Delicious\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://educlipper.net/\">eduClipper\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://pinterest.com/\">Pinterest\u003c/a>, or \u003ca href=\"http://bagtheweb.com/\">BagTheWeb\u003c/a> to collect links? Is Photoshop, \u003ca href=\"http://www.gimp.org/\">GIMP\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://pixlr.com/\">Pixlr\u003c/a>, or \u003ca href=\"http://fotoflexer.com/\">FotoFlexer\u003c/a> the right photo-editing software? It's overwhelming, and there really is no single right answer. (For the record, though, Diigo is great because of its iOS app and GIMP works well because it’s both free and powerful.) So pick one class of tools and become a ninja in how to use one of the leading tools in that class. Skills from one platform are transferable to the others. You will benefit from learning everything about whatever tool you choose. \u003cstrong>3. READ ABOUT ALL THINGS EDUCATION \u003c/strong> In the middle of the school year, a good novel sounds much more compelling than a book on education. But books on pedagogical theory can influence your instruction in meaningful and enduring ways even if they are short on immediate, practical advice. Reading books about math pedagogy have helped educators teach more linear, logical concepts like cause and effect analysis using timelines or even Roman battle strategies. Here are some favorite books from a summer reading list: \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Scaling-Success-Technology-Based-Educational-Improvement/dp/0787976598/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344281581&sr=8-1&keywords=scaling+up+success\">Scaling Up Success\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Education-Nation-Leading-Innovation-Jossey-Bass/dp/1118157400/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1344281603&sr=1-1&keywords=education+nation\">Education Nation\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Students-are-Watching-Schools-Contract/dp/0807031216/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1344281631&sr=1-2&keywords=the+kids+are+watching+education\">The Students Are Watching\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Reinventing-Project-Based-Learning-Real-World-Projects/dp/156484238X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1344281680&sr=1-2&keywords=project-based+learning\">Reinventing Project-Based Learning\u003c/a> \u003cstrong>4. REVISIT YOUR HOMEWORK STRATEGY \u003c/strong> Flipping is not just for math. The essential justification for flipping – that is, utilizing technology to redistribute tasks between homework and classwork to make both more meaningful – can benefit any class. Are there individual activities that you could turn into homework in order to devote more attention to students in class? Is there a tangential class discussion that you want to continue but can't justify doing during precious class time? To flip your lectures, you'll need some kind of software. \u003ca href=\"http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html\">Camtasia\u003c/a> is the crème de la crème of flipping software, but it’s expensive. An alternative is to film your lecture with your phone, edit it with Windows Live Movie Maker or iMovie, and post it to Youtube as an unlisted video, and use the discussion board to allow your students to ask and answer questions. But you don’t necessarily need to post a lecture on-line to flip your class. Any aspect of your class can be flipped. An English teacher asked her students to conduct discussions of each reading assignment on her Edmodo page. Some students were responsible for posting a discussion question, others for being first responders, and others for posting follow-ups. Then, every student had to respond to another discussion thread also. The roles rotated and were staggered over a few days so that timing issues were minimized. We found that the students retained the reading better when they had to engage with their classmates immediately. In class, they would apply their understanding of the reading in some creative endeavor like a skit and discuss the essential meaning of the text at the very end of class. The extra time afforded to the students by the meaningful work they did the night before allowed them to access the core of the text much more effectively. \u003cstrong>5. MAKE A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE \u003c/strong> A formal principal used to tell the kids: “Ask for it and you just might get it!” The same sentiment applies to teachers. Funds are limited in every school and they become increasingly scarce as the school year progresses. Get your requests in now. Look for major conferences in your nearest city and peruse the blogs, Twitter, and EdSurge for other educators' assessments of previous year's events. To demonstrate your genuine commitment to regular PD, also “attend” some free webinars such as these from ASCD or these from EdWeek. Watch \u003ca href=\"http://www.ted.com/talks/tags/education\">TED talks about education\u003c/a> and peruse \u003ca href=\"https://www.teachingchannel.org/\">Teaching Channel\u003c/a> for lesson plan inspiration. Your administrators will be more inclined to encourage your continued learning, and you will get that much-needed “shot in the arm” on a regular basis. Your teaching is only as good as your learning. During the madness of a school year, it's very difficult to begin any new endeavor that doesn't relate directly to your class. So use these final dog days of summer to set yourself up to be a learner for the rest of the year. \u003cem>This piece was reprinted from \u003ca href=\"http://www.edsurge.com/\">EdSurge-Instruct\u003c/a>, a weekly newsletter for educators on education technology products and great practices.\u003c/em> \u003cem>Ben Stern writes the \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.edsurge.com/because-you-asked#/news\">Because You Asked\u003c/a>\" column for \u003ca href=\"http://www.edsurge.com\">EdSurge\u003c/a>.

She uses class time to tailor instruction to students who started the school year behind their classmates in reading and math, and she has seen rapid improvement.

Greg Green, principal of Clintondale High School in Clinton Township, Mich., thinks the flipped classroom—and the unprecedented amount of one-on-one time it provides students—could even be enough to close the achievement gap between low-income, minority students and their more affluent white peers. Clintondale has reduced the percentage of Fs given out from about 40 percent to around 10 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet anecdotal evidence suggests that flipping classrooms is a more popular practice in wealthier suburban communities where nearly all students have Internet access at home and schools are more likely to have computers in classrooms. Some skeptics say flipped classrooms still rely \u003c!--more-->heavily on lectures by teachers, which they argue are not as effective as hands-on learning. Still others worry that the new practice—so dependent on technology—could end up leaving low-income students behind and widening the achievement gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s an obstacle,” said Karen Cator, director of the Office of Educational Technology in the U.S. Department of Education. “We do need to figure out ways that students, regardless of Zip code, regardless of their parents’ income level, have access” to technology inside and outside of schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flipped classroom can be traced to a 2008 experiment by Aaron Sams and Jonathan Bergmann, teachers in Woodland Park, Colo., who were quick to take advantage of the ability to post videos online. The concept is one small and simple way that technology can transform the way students learn. Research on the effectiveness of flipped classrooms is in the early stages, and it’s not known how widespread the practice is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Praised by advocates for letting students work at their own pace, flipped classrooms also allow teachers to tailor their instruction to individual students. At home, for example, students can watch online video lectures—recordings of their own teachers explaining concepts, say, or videos produced by other teachers or textbook companies—while classroom time can be spent working one-on-one with teachers, tackling worksheets or problem sets once given as homework, or collaborating with other students on projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\n\u003cp>Two chemistry teachers learned that they could solve technology access issues by making DVDs of the videos for students without reliable Internet access at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>These are the tenets that Sams and Bergmann, whose book \u003cem>Flip Your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class Every Day\u003c/em> is due out this month, will try to spread with the Flipped Learning Network, a nonprofit organization launched this spring to train teachers from schools across the socioeconomic spectrum in the strategy. Sams and Bergmann, who are chemistry teachers, had learned, for example, that they could solve their technology access issues by making DVDs of the videos for students without reliable Internet access at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Luria’s school in Oregon, she said other teachers were interested in the strategy but were unlikely to emulate her. “The reality is that I have more computers than anyone else does,” Luria said. “Unless they’re able to ask and get laptops from other people, there’s just not the capacity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Westside High School in Macon, Ga., more than 85 percent of students are minorities and 78 percent qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Members of feuding gangs are placed into classes alongside pregnant teenagers, she said, and parent involvement is rare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the help of a federal grant that provided netbooks for all students, a handful of teachers in different disciplines at Westside flipped their classrooms and reported that doing so improved students’ grades—and their level of engagement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Douglass has seen a modest increase on her regular chemistry class’s final exam scores since flipping. Social studies teacher Sydney Elkin said her students’ scores on the Georgia state end-of-course exams increased, particularly for her special-education students. The semester before she flipped her classroom, about 30 percent of all students passed. In her first semester with a flipped class, she said, nearly three-quarters passed, including nine out of 10 special-education students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_22176\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 601px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2011/09/the-flipped-classroom-defined/\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-22176\" title=\"Screen Shot 2012-06-18 at 9.58.21 AM\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2012/06/Screen-Shot-2012-06-18-at-9.58.21-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"601\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2012/06/Screen-Shot-2012-06-18-at-9.58.21-AM.png 601w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2012/06/Screen-Shot-2012-06-18-at-9.58.21-AM-400x143.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2012/06/Screen-Shot-2012-06-18-at-9.58.21-AM-320x114.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An infographic explaining the \"flipped classroom.\" Click to see the entire image.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NOT A PANACEA\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flipping does not solve all problems, though, Elkin said. Some students must still be constantly needled to do their work. And despite second and third chances on tests that act as gateways to the next level, some students still fall behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would love to say this was a better fit for everyone. There’s no panacea,” Elkin said. Outside factors “have an impact on what these kids do just as much as the way content is delivered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students at Westside are disadvantaged from the start, she said, coming from homes where parents might work two or three jobs to get by and children aren’t exposed to as many opportunities to learn as their more affluent peers. By the time they get to high school, many are far behind and haven’t developed a work ethic for school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sams, the Colorado chemistry teacher known as one of the fathers of flipping, acknowledged that about 9 percent of his students have received Fs every year he has taught—both before and after he started delivering lectures through video in his school district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some students, they choose not to learn, not to participate,” he said. “A lot of people ask, ‘What do you do with the unmotivated kid?’ I wish I had a good answer to that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bergmann, his former colleague who is now a lead technology facilitator for a school in Illinois, said students were learning more and performing at higher levels, on average. He said the change also created time for him to talk to every student every day to monitor his or her progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students at Westside, in Macon, Ga., said they were no longer bored in class, where they can work with classmates, ask for help and enjoy more face-time with their teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like having a private tutor,” junior Marvin Wesley explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That you don’t have to pay for,” his classmate Sarah Walker chimed in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Douglass’s chemistry class looked like an exercise in organized chaos on a weekday in March, with some students working on a lab in the back of the classroom as others, wearing headphones, danced in their seats while filling out a worksheet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Periodically, as those with their netbooks\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>hit the play button\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>on a video Douglass had made, the faint strains of a Rihanna parody, “Only Mole (in the World),” could be heard. Two girls new to the school had teamed up to finish a worksheet while Douglas darted around the classroom, wearing her signature white lab coat, answering questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>“It’s a first step on the way to a promising use of technology, but I don’t think people should see it as an end-all, be-all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“I used to get tired because I had to stand up [and lecture], and I felt like a circus performer,” she said. “Now I’m running all around the room. I don’t sit down all day long.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students said they spend different amounts of time on her instructional videos, although all must fill out a “note-taker” sheet as they watch. One might spend just 10 minutes, while another might pause and rewind, listening over and over to certain sections for nearly half an hour. Some watch the videos at home; others prefer to listen in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s wherever, whatever, whenever; that’s the whole point,” said Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at California State University, Dominguez Hills, who writes widely about technology and is studying how it’s transforming education. “The flipped classroom allows you to present content and the kids then consume it in their own location at their own pace.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flipped classrooms are a start, but don’t take the concept of individualized learning as far as it can go, said Michael Horn, executive director of education at the Innosight Institute in Mountain View, Calif., which works to introduce innovation into education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a first step on the way to a promising use of technology, but I don’t think people should see it as an end-all, be-all,” Horn said. “It’s sort of a low hanging fruit of innovation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Douglass, though, such uses of technology are nothing short of revolutionary. She said she still has the occasional student who’ll put his head down or surf the Internet instead of working, but giving students some control over the pace of their learning improves their desire to learn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Misbehavior all but disappeared after she flipped the classroom, Douglass said, and students who hadn’t passed anything in years began proudly displaying their grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were getting to choose to push the play button,” Douglass said. “They were very, very excited about accepting that responsibility. They actually like having the power to make decisions.

Outside factors “have an impact on what these kids do just as much as the way content is delivered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students at Westside are disadvantaged from the start, she said, coming from homes where parents might work two or three jobs to get by and children aren’t exposed to as many opportunities to learn as their more affluent peers. By the time they get to high school, many are far behind and haven’t developed a work ethic for school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sams, the Colorado chemistry teacher known as one of the fathers of flipping, acknowledged that about 9 percent of his students have received Fs every year he has taught—both before and after he started delivering lectures through video in his school district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some students, they choose not to learn, not to participate,” he said. “A lot of people ask, ‘What do you do with the unmotivated kid?’ I wish I had a good answer to that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bergmann, his former colleague who is now a lead technology facilitator for a school in Illinois, said students were learning more and performing at higher levels, on average. He said the change also created time for him to talk to every student every day to monitor his or her progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students at Westside, in Macon, Ga., said they were no longer bored in class, where they can work with classmates, ask for help and enjoy more face-time with their teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like having a private tutor,” junior Marvin Wesley explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That you don’t have to pay for,” his classmate Sarah Walker chimed in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Douglass’s chemistry class looked like an exercise in organized chaos on a weekday in March, with some students working on a lab in the back of the classroom as others, wearing headphones, danced in their seats while filling out a worksheet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Periodically, as those with their netbooks\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>hit the play button\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>on a video Douglass had made, the faint strains of a Rihanna parody, “Only Mole (in the World),” could be heard.

I don’t sit down all day long.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students said they spend different amounts of time on her instructional videos, although all must fill out a “note-taker” sheet as they watch. One might spend just 10 minutes, while another might pause and rewind, listening over and over to certain sections for nearly half an hour. Some watch the videos at home; others prefer to listen in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s wherever, whatever, whenever; that’s the whole point,” said Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at California State University, Dominguez Hills, who writes widely about technology and is studying how it’s transforming education. “The flipped classroom allows you to present content and the kids then consume it in their own location at their own pace.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flipped classrooms are a start, but don’t take the concept of individualized learning as far as it can go, said Michael Horn, executive director of education at the Innosight Institute in Mountain View, Calif., which works to introduce innovation into education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a first step on the way to a promising use of technology, but I don’t think people should see it as an end-all, be-all,” Horn said. “It’s sort of a low hanging fruit of innovation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Douglass, though, such uses of technology are nothing short of revolutionary. She said she still has the occasional student who’ll put his head down or surf the Internet instead of working, but giving students some control over the pace of their learning improves their desire to learn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Misbehavior all but disappeared after she flipped the classroom, Douglass said, and students who hadn’t passed anything in years began proudly displaying their grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were getting to choose to push the play button,” Douglass said. “They were very, very excited about accepting that responsibility. They actually like having the power to make decisions. That’s the biggest impact I’ve seen in my classroom—the ownership has gone from teacher to student.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article originally appeared on the \u003ca href=\"http://hechingerreport.org/content/promise-of-the-flipped-classroom-eludes-poorer-school-districts_8748/\">Hechinger Report\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/mindshift/22171/can-the-flipped-classroom-benefit-low-income-students","authors":["4354"],"categories":["mindshift_193"],"tags":["mindshift_252","mindshift_651"],"featImg":"mindshift_22173","label":"mindshift"},"mindshift_21511":{"type":"posts","id":"mindshift_21511","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"mindshift","id":"21511","score":null,"sort":[1337291871000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"flip-this-blooms-taxonomy-should-start-with-creating","title":"Flip This: Bloom's Taxonomy Should Start with Creating","publishDate":1337291871,"format":"aside","headTitle":"MindShift | KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"mindshift"},"content":"\u003cdiv id=\"attachment_21512\" class=\"module image alignleft mceTemp\" style=\"width: 300px\">\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-21512\" title=\"bloom_pyramid-2\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2012/05/bloom_pyramid-2-300x321.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"321\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-media-credit\">Chris Davis, Powerful Learning Practice LLC\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003ch5>\u003ca href=\"http://plpnetwork.com/2012/05/15/flipping-blooms-taxonomy/\">By Shelley Wright\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>I think the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy is wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know this statement sounds heretical in the realms of education, but I think this is something we should rethink, especially since it is so widely taught to pre-service teachers.
