Describe the Instructional Technology Trend
The flipped classroom is a model that reverses when and where students do their work for a class. A traditional classroom features instruction during class time and homework outside of class time. The flipped classroom allows for knowledge delivery to take place outside of class time, allowing for practice, application of content, and teacher feedback to occur during class time. This model puts the ownership of learning on the students and fundamentally changes the role of the teacher. Teachers become facilitators of skills and applied content, rather than a knowledge delivery system.

The flipped classroom has tremendous potential to change the modern school classroom. As the flipped classroom gains traction with teachers, the resources for creating lessons are improving, and there are several websites like TED Ed, Kahn Academy, and Discovery Education that provide content ready to be adapted by the teacher to a specific lesson. Additionally, tools like Edpuzzle, Educreation, and Screencast-O-Matic make creating a flipped classroom lesson simple.
As an instructional technologist, what do you need to do to keep up with this trend?

Instructional Technologists should be keenly aware that the flipped classroom is not a trend that is done only one way, and it is a trend that can easily be done incorrectly. Flipped lessons require careful preparation by the teacher as well as the correct learning environment to encourage students to take ownership of their learning and complete their “homework” at home (remember: in a flipped lesson, this is where content delivery happens and material is introduced). In order to keep up with the trend itself, we need to ensure that our teachers understand how to present these lessons effectively, and communicate to our students and their families that this is a fundamental change where their child for the benefit of their child. Additionally, as with any trend, we need to stay on top of the latest tools for creating effective flipped classroom lessons.
Web URL: The Flipped Coach I included a sample lesson from this website in my Educreation, but I think everyone can benefit from taking a deeper look at the Flipped Coach site. This PE teacher is flipping the classroom in a subject that is almost entirely participatory, which in itself is a feat. Additionally, he uses flipped classroom principles in his coaching position to strengthen his players’ understanding of new plays taught at practice.
Video: I chose this video from Donna Bonavia for a few key reasons. First, in this blog, I will try to highlight technology in action in elective/encore/specials classrooms (Visual Arts, Music, Theatre, PE, etc). Second, Mrs. Bonavia’s video is less than 3 minutes, which I think (if possible) is ideal for a flipped classroom video. It is a comprehensive introduction to drawing a still life, but is not so long that a student would lose interest while watching at home. Third, the teacher references earlier videos she has made, for students who need review on information relevant to this new concept, and she ends the video with the first step for the students as they enter the classroom tomorrow. Overall, I think this is an excellent example of flipping the visual art classroom.
Provide three resources (an article, web url and a video) that provide more information on this trend and explain why these resources stood out to you.
Article: This article is actually the handout from a presentation at the Texas Music Educators Association Conference in February of 2015. This handout can serve as a guide to flipping the Elementary Music classroom, and it focuses specifically on the Recorder Unit, a staple in many elementary music programs. This article contains suggestions for flipped class resources, as well as how to introduce the flipped recorder class to students and parents. The article also contains excellent tips that can be applied to any content area flipped class regarding how to flip your class if internet access is a concern for your students.

Design one activity using this trend that can be applied for teaching and learning.
This Edpuzzle Lesson is a short bio with an embedded quiz on the American composer Charles Ives. This could be used to introduce the composer before discussing him and his music further in class, before discussing the concept of dissonance, or before beginning rehearsal on a piece by Ives.
Re-use information that you shared for your main post in the discussion forum
The following Educreation is a video lesson I created as a class assignment for EIST6120. It could also be used as a tool to introduce the idea of the flipped classroom to teachers in K-12 education.
