This was the question that was the topic of a live discussion on Twitter under the hastag #flipclass. Although I was not able to participate in this discussion, I was eager to see what the educators on Twitter had to say about this. The whole conversation is archived and is a great read, but here are some of the highlights. Add your on comments below.
@a_mcsquared - spoon feeding is my biggest weakness stil, so looking for ideas here, sorry #flipclass@crystalkirch - I have tried 2respond 2 Ss q's w/more questions for them to answer...that has helped a bit in not being the "sole dispenser" #flipclass@runfardvs - I used to have a broken wooden spoon hanging in front of my class. Reminding Ss that I wouldn't soon feed them answers. #flipclass@Mr_Driscoll - One key is to clearly articulate to students that a #flipclass is spent performing authentic tasks, not just listening to teacher@jdferries - getting students to identify claims & evidence, problem & solution, tasks that demonstrate objective. a lot less talking in gen. #flipclass@MrsHowardMath - Finding ways to assess understanding rather than a correct answer. #flipclass@buddyxo - My biggest thing: building *trust* w ss. Makes them less fearful of discovery. Let the indep learning happen "by accident" #flipclass@MrBrianBobbitt - If you can Google the answer, did the question need to be asked? #flipclass@MrsHowardMath - @runfardvs @a_mcsquared also must teach them how to collaborate. We sometimes assume they know how to work in groups together. #flipclass@MsRossEnglish - I struggled w/ this. Students wanted me to spoonfeed "What is the right answer your want us to say?" Tough to stay strong #flipclass@historyfriend - Read "Why Don't You Just Tell Us the Answer" by Bruce Lesh - helpful for history, ss, especially. #flipclass@buddyxo - Closing note: we need to be careful not to go too extreme anti spoon-feeding. Support is key & it's imp ss know ur there for them #flipclass
