As you are aware I've started using front of book feedback loop stickers but I still need to do more inside books.<br /><br />Flipped learning:<br /><br />I was recently able to visit King Solomon School to see their approach to flipped learning using online video clips.<br />I will start by highlighting some of the issues we've encountered at Canons and then some suggestions as to how we could improve it.<br /><br />1) As mentioned in the blog, not enough students watch the clips regularly. Some say they've forgotten their logins or that they weren't able to locate the relevant clip<br /><br />2) Understanding. The clips include practice Qs and students are asked to have a go at these in their books but the videos then go on to give them the model answer(s).<br /><br />Possible solutions:<br /><br />1) Use a site to host the clips that doesn't require student logins. E.g. youtube, schooltube or http://mrreddy.com/timeshift/index.htm The problem with this is copyright. We would have to spend a lot of time creating our own clips rather than using published material.<br /><br />2) Understanding. In the short term this could be greatly improved by including the practice questions sheet that goes along with each clip/topic. Students could download/open the worksheet below the clip and answer the Qs in their books. I've started providing hard copies of the relevant worksheet for those that prefer a hard copy. Crucially the video doesn't give the answers.<br />In the future, creating our own video clips and then embedding a simple Google Docs form underneath for students to complete (name, class, answers & working out) would be a big step forward (http://mrreddy.com/timeshift/index.htm ). The teacher would then receive a spreadsheet in their email with the answers from their class. This could then be discussed in class.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938572159740128158noreply@blogger.com
