Making it work

Learning tasks need to be ...

Be relevant and authentic

Engage students

Inspire collaboration

Inspire individual research

Inspire enquiry

Be fun/interesting

Think outside the square

There are many ways to flip, consider one of your classes...from this list choose one method you could use to provide a pre-class activity to prepare students for class: share with a colleague how you would use it. Feel free to add ideas to it too.

Filling the classroom

Make them want to be there

Make it relevant

Make it focussed on their needs

Make them the directors of their own learning

Create the power of the group

Getting the pre-work done

Embed it in the design...they can’t go forward without it

Make them accountable - have a task ready for class

Needs to be interesting - use real stories where possible - hook them in

Use video or stories from the media - real things

Provide rewards - marks or chocolate :)

Link it to assessment

Make it RELEVANT...they need to know why they are doing it and how it will help them individually
