Flip a Lesson Plan

2016/11/01 16:00 - 2016/11/01 17:00

Registration

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.

This session will focus on creating engaging student questions using Bloom’s Taxonomy as the basis. The following concepts will be discussed during this session:

  • Students learn key concepts better when they have opportunities to actively monitor their understanding.
  • Knowledge is socially constructed and people learn best in supportive social settings when working with peers.
  • Students become better learners when we challenge them to answer questions that require the use of higher order thinking skills.
