Flip learning
Flip learning
Students learn at different rates. Flipping learning provides more opportunities for processing and retaining information.
These 6 steps provide a guide to flipping learning in your classroom.
- Plan: Identify what information and resources would make a difference for students needing extra support e.g embed or create an instructional video, link to practice games, create a quiz.
- Record: Make or select a video, choose online practice activities, create a quiz, link to useful information that incorporates key information and steps for learning.
- Share: Share the information and resources with your students and their whānau, on your website or blog. Provide clear learning intentions and instructions for use.
- Teach: Explore the learning intention in depth with students, and identify where further support is needed.
- Practice: Give students a followup task to apply their learning, this can be a group or individual task.
- Regroup: Bring students back together to share their learning. Encourage them to revisit the online information and resources as needed to reinforce understanding.
