We have been using the
Flipped Model to teach
Biology and would like to
explain how it works
Time – is limited
More demands –
and new syllabus
IT – to reach the
students
Learning styles –
differ fro each
student
In class Blah blah blah
blah blah blahThe teacher writes or dictates notes
This can be very boring!
Homework - is an activity
…and it is not always done properly
Students learn in their own time
Using:
A video
Power point
Research
Text books
Sometimes we watch videos in
class
And again at home...or vice versa
This is excellent reinforcement
Students learn at their own pace
They can stop or rewind when necessary
Catch-up is easier
Class time is used for
activities
This is where the
Flipped Model
really makes a
difference
Students are more engaged in class
activities
Practicals
Group work
Circles
Discussions
Worksheets
Questions
A variety of activities are used
And the teacher is there to help each
and every student
We can help with planning, understanding or
even with ideas to help a student move ahead
Saint Ignatius said teachers should
know each student and their needs
The Flipped Model allows us to achieve this
We can use activities to appeal to the different
learning styles
And help students
find their own
learning strengths
To assist students
we give typed
notes that must
be used in
conjunction with
the videos
Spaces must
be filled in
and drawing
should be
doneNotes must
be kept
neatly and
in order
This system helps students who
write slowly or do not write neatly
Some students prefer to learn from their own
hand writing
It is a waste of
time to re-write the
notes
Rather...
Write out a
summary at
the end of
each topic –
this is a useful
learning tool
New concepts
are introduced
in class
To build a foundation
The students
then build
on this in
their own
time
We have a variety of
methods to give the students
their videos and presentations
We can email parents
and students
This helps everyone keep
in touch and know the
agenda
Most students
prefer to have
the work on a
flash stick
Some resources are
available on the
internet
And everything is made available on the
school internal web page
Students can copy presentations onto
their flash stick or watch them on a
school computer
If you have any queries please get in
touch with your teacher!
