What to do with these new Chromebooks?
coming to every student near you
For the 2017-2018 school year our high school will be handing each high school student a Chromebook. The questions we must ask ourselves is "how can we leverage this technology to meet the needs of students and personalize instruction?"

What is the flipped classroom?
How will this help me?
While one-to-one computing has the potential for improving education, educational transformation will take more than just handing a student a computer. One option of changing our practices and using the new technology is to explore the flipped classroom (Sota, 2016).

Traditional Classroom
- In class lecture
- classroom actvities
- Extension activites
- Home-work reinforces in-class learning

SO WHAT DOES A FLIPPED ROOM LOOK LIKE?
Flipped classroom
- Student gain knowledge at home
- class time is practice/problem solving
- more group and one-one teacher time
- (Lee & Son, 2014)

In the flipped classroom your role as a teacher changes. You now become a facilitator. You will have more time to evaluate student work and give feedback. Additional time to tutor struggling students, and engage with students in active project based learning (Sota, 2016).
FLIPPED
WELCOME TO THE FLIPPED ROOM
For example, a science teacher may record their regular lecture for students to watch at home, and in class the next day they would do a lab experiment, based the previous nights recorded video. In this model students can learn by themselves at their own pace, even watching content multiple times if needed (Raja, 2016).
Why should I flip?
- Space out learning
- Students practice in different settings
- Breaks in learning time allows for incubation
- (Carey, 2014)
Research shows that students learn best when they can space learning out, and have the opportunities to practice in different settings. By allowing students to gain their knowledge at home they have the time to think and even sleep on the content that they can than master in the classroom with your assistance the following day (Carey, 2014).
Active Learning
Students take an active role in the learning process (Song & Kapur, 2017)
Song and Kapur (2017) sites research that indicates that students who participate in a flipped classroom take a more active role in the learning process; increasing motivating and learning satisfaction.

Students Who Miss School
Can still receive missed content!
We all know that student activities take a huge toll on your classroom instructions. Our location on an island means that students who participate in activities have added travel time and miss a lot of school. By presenting material in an electronic formate students will no longer miss the content of the class, and your lectures.
Drawbacks of flipped learning?
The 'digital divide' - video viewing is not possible for all students outside of school.
We are all aware that not all students have internet access at home, and this is a significant concern. While considering the flipped classroom model it is important to think about how those without access at home may access your content.
Over 90% of KGBSD students have the internet at home (2013)
In 2013 our school district surveyed 1350 students in grades 3-12 to gage the technology available to students outside of school. What we found was that 91% of students have internet at home, 93% of parents have cell phones, 90% of homes have a computer, and 73% of our students have their own cell phones.
Most of our students have access to the internet from home, and with a school issued laptop accessing the content you post for viewing on their own is no longer such barrier.
For those students who do not have internet, the school is open before and after school with open internet access. McDonald's along with the public library offer free internet before and after school hours.

"The factory model of education is the wrong model for the 21st century. Today, our schools must prepare all student for college and careers- and do far more to personalize instruction and employ the smart use of technology." - U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
Adopting the mindset that we can be innovators here in Ketchikan, Alaska will be critical to achieving success. While handing students a computer has enormous potential, it will not make a difference unless we change teaching practices.
