Every Day
October 22, 2014, 8:30 – 3:30
Jon Bergmann TALKS About the Flipped Classroom
Implementing
the Flipped Class provides teachers with more face-to-face time with students, allows
for true differentiation, compels students to take responsibility for their own
learning, and enables students to master rigorous course concepts. Join Flipped
Classroom pioneer Jon Bergmann as he walks through his transformation from
lecturer to a flipped class pioneer. He will demonstrate how the flipped class
can transform today's educational climate and increase student learning
outcomes.
One Day Workshop: Reach Every Student in Every Class Every Day
Come learn
from Jon Bergmann as he takes you on his journey from a nineteen year lecturer
to a flipped class pioneer. Learn how teachers can talk to every student in
every class every day creating a learner centered, inquiry driven, problem-based
classes. Learn how you can begin to transform your classroom by asking one
critical question: What is the best use of my face-to-face class time?

For 21st Century learners, communication and collaboration are key skills in collecting and sharing information. There are so many digital tools that support such skills that it is daunting for teachers to select the appropriate tools to use in the classroom. Some schools support institution-wide Learning Management Systems, while others allow teachers to select a web-presence that they are comfortable with. 
For the un-initiated, flipping one's classroom essentially involves assigning instructional lectures to students for homework, and facilitating homework during class time. This technique has several advantages and disadvantages. What if students don't have access to technology at home? What if they don't view your video tutorials for homework? On the other hand, flipping one's instruction would allow the teacher to facilitate student learning as a "guide on the side" rather than a "sage on the stage." Students could work in collaborative groups at a pace that encourages mastery. See below for some blog posts and YouTube videos about what the Flipped Classroom is...and what it isn't.
