A.M.D.G.

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!
