EmergingEdTech and FlippedClassroomWorkshop.com founder Kelly Walsh will be running a full day Flipped Classroom Workshop as a Pre-Conference Workshop before the 2015 Teaching and Learning with the iPad Conference [2].
This video was created to inform people about the 2014 workshop:
Overview
This full day workshop will provide a practical learning experience for educators wishing to develop a plan to incorporate flipped teaching and learning techniques into their classes and courses. Those who have started working with flipped classroom techniques who wish to learn more and develop their plans will also benefit from this workshop.
This professional development workshop will incorporate flipped instruction techniques – you will be expected to watch a brief a video beforehand, summarize it, and generate a question based on it (i.e. use the WSQ technique). Additionally, practical hands-on exercises (bring your laptops or tablets!) will provide active learning experiences and help to reinforce techniques and content being covered. Participants will work with each other and the workshop instructor to explore new ideas and clear up misconceptions.
A free copy of the eBook Flipped Classroom Workshop-in-a-Book by EmergingEdTech author Kelly Walsh will be provided to all students as a resource for further learning and exploration.
NOTE: This workshop is not iPad specific - it is device agnostic - we WILL use whatever device you bring. You ARE expected to bring a tablet or laptop (we will use the conference site’s WiFi to connect to the Internet to work on a couple of assignments during the workshop).
