My Flipped Classroom Research


My Flipped Classroom Research




My research was done on flipped classroom along with e-portfolio’s and how to utilize those two tools to increase student high order thinking through more engaged activities and reflections within the e-portfolio’s. My plan and vision is to use flipped classroom to share the content with students so when they come into the classroom we are able to engage in deeper discussions or activities that are more of the higher order thinking activities. I will have students keep an e-portfolio during this process to show their growth and reflect on the learning process.

What worked well during my research was finding information on flipped classroom and e-portfolio’s separately, but nothing really tied the two tools in together. There was good information on how to use flipped classroom to engage students more along with how it can promote higher order thinking.
What could have been done better during my research was I found out why flipped classroom fails for certain teachers. Teachers that fail at it do not understand how to implement it into their curriculum or incorporate it into their lesson. Teachers don’t know how or feel comfortable finding or creating the content needed for the lesson. They also do not have students reflect on what they learn or demonstrate their knowledge from the flipped assignment prior to diving into the classroom portion of the lesson. 

I can apply the lessons I learned from the failed attempts of teachers and the readings from this course to make sure my implementation of the flipped classroom is done properly for success of the students and creating a more engaging environment. This will lead to opportunities to dig deeper into the content and develop higher order thinking skills, which was my main goal for wanting to set up a flipped classroom.

EDLD 5317 Post on A More Engaging Classroom Using Google

How Can You Have A More Engaging and Happier Classroom? I would like to share my story and experiences on how using G suites is creating a learning environment of happier and engaging students and parents. The great thing is this can happen in any classroom and does not matter what the subject or grade level of your students. I have colleagues that have the same success in using G suites in their classroom. A quote that we should all go by came from John Dewey, “If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.” (John Dewey Image) Our students live in a digital world so we should be using technology to engage our students. This is what makes them happy and how they learn in today’s world. We must prepare them with the tools for tomorrow by integrating the use of technology into their learning environment. Technology is the future and we must allow them to use these tools today. We are a Google for education school along with being a 1...

EDLD 5303 Learning Reflection

Image
I have learned and grown in my learning after going through my first two courses of the DLL program. I started out learning about the growth mindset and how having a growth mindset enables learners to develop their learning through reflections. It pushed me to think outside the box and try something new by creating a powtoons video on growth mindset for my classes. I then encouraged my students to try something new by putting together a video assignment. What I learned from the project that I assigned to my students was tremendous. Not only did I develop a better understanding of the power of COVA by allowing students a voices and choice in their learning, but saw how students rose to the challenge. Some of these students were students that would have struggled otherwise, but because they were allowed to be creative and put together something that was unique to their learning was able to shine. This got me thinking how education today has taken away from allow students to be...

Learning Manifesto

Learning Manifesto By: Mitch Madden I believe that we must change the way we educate our students today to be more in aligned with today’s world. I believe one thing that is wrong with education today is we are still teaching like we were taught. As John Dewey says, “If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterdays, we rob them of tomorrow.” In other words we need to be engaging them in the tools of tomorrow and embrace the use of technology within education instead of being afraid of allowing students to utilize these tools. I feel some of the issues related to digital learning throughout the state, regional, national, and global market are not embracing the use of technology in real and authentic learning. We are still stuck on student’s being required to pass a written exam or some sort of exam when we have not utilized technology to engage students and properly access them through the use of allowing students being able to make a choice in their learning by bein...
