This will be an interactive session to create and design a flipped lesson from start to finish.  What is a flipped lesson plan?  Flipping means you reverse the way you design the learning environment so students engage in activities, apply course concepts and focus on higher-level learning outcomes during class time.  You switch from instructor-centered design to participant-centered design.  You move from being the “sage-on-stage” to being the “guide on the side,” which allows you to create a learning environment that is engaging, motivational and productive.

 Learning goals:

• Describe current definitions and models for the flipped class
• Identify flappable moments in your lesson
• Compare a variety of ideas and strategies for flipping your lesson and assessing student learning

**NOTE: This is a hands-on workshop. Please bring your laptops.

Description: Tired of using the same techniques, activities and lesson plans? This session outlines techniques to inject new life into your classroom, including numerous creative teaching tips and strategies and best practices for infusing technology into the curriculum.

We will also talk about 3 creative online tools that you can use right now to help stimulate creativity and excitement back into the classroom. These tools will help to build friendly competition, poll your students for instant feedback, and create personal learning environments that your students can utilize to help them stay organized and for project-based learning.

Learning goals:

• Be reinvigorated and inspired to enhance your teaching and adapt new techniques
• Reframe or modify your approach to teaching by incorporating engaging and student-centered learning tools
• Create exciting learning-centered environments driven by creativity, engagement, and the maximization of student learning

After this workshop, you will be able to:

• Implement techniques to help invigorate your classroom, whether online or face-to-face.
• Assess the potential for meeting your instructional goals and challenges.
• Formulate a plan for moving beyond gaining an initial understanding of selected tools to using them for specific instructional purposes.
