Flipped lesson Badge Support

In order to earn this badge, you will have to create a flipped lesson experience for your class. Vicky has created a great summary of what a flipped lesson is all about for her content creation badge:


 So, to summarise:

• Create or download the content that you want them to work through (relating to your curriculum subject content) to be able to do their "homework" in the class with your help.
• You can use the myriad of educational subject videos on Youtube, Khan Academy or any of the amazing video sites out there already. (e.g. see the Mathematics Xhosa videos here: https://xh.khanacademy.org/)
• You can create your own content by letting someone video you giving the lesson, or by creating a video lesson using some video creation tools (e.g. Screenomatic, Microsoft Mix which allows you to turn a slideshow into a video with voice overs and the students can see you- see some examples here: goo.gl/Dyo2Jv)

• Suggestion: Make sure that you add some guiding questions that the learners have to answer after hey have watched the video/interacted with your content
• Suggestion: when they come to class, first do a little self marking diagnostic test with them to make sure that they have worked through the material e.g. using a tool like Testmoz
• Give the learners their "homework" activity to do in the class in groups or pairs so that they can help one another.
• Assist them if they have hassles.

Flipped classroom Strategy

After working through activity 0, you should have a good idea of what a flipped classroom is. Instead of doing a lecture about flipped classrooms I gave you various resources that explained what it is. To check if the basics are in place, do the following quiz: testmoz.com/1057875

During this session you will be doing the following:

• Do a mock in-class flip to model the activity 0 (at home) experience 
• Create a flipped lesson plan
• Assess the other team's flipped lesson plans.
• Create a flipped lesson plan for your class.
