Flipped/Blended Classrooms, Part 1 (CMS Electives, 2.3.16)

1. Take Attendance

Let Kara take care of this today. You go ahead and get started with the agenda. That's right. Don't wait for everyone to come in. Jump right in by yourself or with a partner. Proceed to Steps 2 & 3 now!

2. Our Objective

Our objective today is to demonstrate an understanding of how flipped/blended learning might be effective in our classrooms by discussing its advantages with team members.

3. Our Agenda

We are going to fully immerse ourselves in this flipped/blended environment by experiencing our team tech session today via flipped/blended learning!

Go to the Teachers Are Going to Lecture Google slides presentation by clicking on the link in this sentence. Complete the activities on each slide, and you may work with a partner if you'd like.

Troubleshooting: When I tested this link, my iPad opened the Google slide presentation in Safari in presentation mode, which is great because the links work in presentation mode only (not in editing mode). If for some reason your iPad opens the slide presentation in Google Slides in edit mode, look for presentation mode (upper right, maybe) and run the slide show there.

4. Our Challenge

As we move through this week and into the next week, challenge yourself to flip a few things here or there. Try flipping bellwork or a lecture activity. Just pick one area. How can you automate this one item to, in a sense, clone yourself and also allow for differentiation and student absences?

5. Feedback!
