Welcome to blended and flipped learning. Using the 5E's inquiry
model in Microsoft Teams.
My name is Tiffany Thompson and I'm going to be here presented
for today's session. I am a Microsoft learning consultant in
the DC, Virginia region. I'm also an experienced educator who
uses blended and flipped learning when teaching myself
the 5E's inquiry model of designing learning activities
has made it much simpler for me to organize and craft learning
activities, particularly in teams. Today I'm going to show
you and help you understand the difference between blended
learning and how to use these teaching approaches along with
the five 80s in your class team.
The power blended learning methods lies in their ability to
improve the student experience. Studies have shown that blended
learning reduces failure rates, improves learning, and boost
engagement. Blended learning combines the best aspects of
face to face and online instruction in ways that enable
students to learn at their own pace. For example, a student in
a blended learning course who mastered the concept earlier
than his peers can move on without having to wait. And
Conversely, a student who.
We need some more time is not forced to move forward before
fully grasping the subject. It is proving to be a scalable
learning model that simply works for diverse populations
of students which as we can see today, is indicative of
many classrooms.
The roles in a flipped class are what differentiate this approach
from other models in a flipped classroom. Teachers serve more
as facilitators rather than traditional instructors
lecturing to students.
Educators, actors, guide structuring class time and
clearing up confusion with the
material. We are stairs simply as a resource to help students
master the concepts in class and should be on the lookout for any
students that appear to be struggling or failing behind.
Anna flipped classroom. Students take a much more active role in
the flipped classroom model than in a traditional model. Students
develop a familiarity with the material via videos or other
instructional materials that are made available outside of the
classroom or in their digital learning environment. This pre
work, so to speak, allows them to control their learning more,
interact more with other students, and set the pace for
discussions during live class sessions. The intent here is for
students to see the material
beforehand. Which is also commonly called first exposure
learning so they can learn the concepts at their own pace and
by doing so the students are able to focus more on those
engaging, hands-on activities.
What is the difference between blended versus flipped? Well,
both used online and face to face teaching to provide a
comprehensive learning experience. However, the major
difference is when and how the online learning takes place and
the flipped classroom. Students must watch the E Learning video
or participate in another on Linux exercise before coming to
class and then in the live class the new material is further
explained or explored at length. In most cases that knowledge is.
Then applied in the live class as well, but in
blended classrooms, students aren't getting
that total first exposure. They may get a bite size
intro to prep them for the live class where the
teacher will be providing most of the instruction.
Teams is an Idol tool for building out a flipped or
blended classroom as it is customizable to fit your
students needs and allows you to use many apps for engaging,
exploring, explaining, elaborating, an evaluating which
are the five ease of learning through inquiry. The five East
lesson plans supports inquiry based instruction. It is
typically used in science, but I use it in many subjects as it
allows children to make discoveries into process new
skills in an engaging way, which is key when blending or flipping
your classroom. Children are not just learning with this method,
they are more knowledgeable about their own metacognition.
And the role of the teacher is to facilitate
and support students as they use prior knowledge
to build new knowledge.
When I set up my lessons for the week using the Five East Model,
I used the announcement feature in conversations to call
attention to the day's activities for the Engage Phase
I am providing students with learning materials. They need to
be introduced to main idea.
In this lesson about main idea, I posted a short YouTube video
for the students to watch.
I can paste the link directly from YouTube or
search for the video using the YouTube extension in the
conversation editor.
Next is explore again. I create an announcement and title it
appropriately for this part of the lesson I'm going to use a
nearpod activity. About main idea for the students to
practice identifying the main idea in a paragraph. You can
paste the link directly into the
conversation editor. And Alternatively you can add it as
a tab. At the top of the channel.
He would simply select nearpod.
Log in with your username and password.
Select the activity from your nearpod library.
And save.
Students will be able to access the activity from directly
within teams. As you can see here, I offered students both
options for engaging in the near pod activity for the exploration
phase. You can also use forms or flocabulary. You can create a
OneNote assignment or even use thinglink or math in OneNote.
The options here are endless.
Explain is typically reserved for the face to face
instructional activities with
the teacher. This is the time for you to clarify
misunderstandings, free teach or guide students into a deeper
understanding of the topic.
In teams I like to keep my lesson organized, so I still
include a heading for
explaining. I work with students of all levels and have found it
really useful to provide direction for accessing the lab
class meeting. Sometimes I will add an image such as an arrow or
a down arrow or something to help them to remember where to
click. This will help them too.
Get access directly to the meeting link that
I'll schedule below.
Now that I've scheduled my life class meeting.
I can click on the link to join it.
An in mark live teams meeting I can present using a blank
OneNote page of PowerPoint side
or. Even a whiteboard built directly into teams, I can also
create a collaborative whiteboard session for students
to join as well.
Again, the options are endless.
During that elaborate Phase I can work with small groups or
still struggling with the concept of main idea. In this
team I've created small groups and private channels. I can post
additional videos, hands-on activities or even schedule team
meetings for these small groups.
I typically will provide instruction in the same format
in which I provided the Engage. Explore explain
instructions so that students will know to get into their
small groups or go to that private channel to engage in
additional learning activities.
In this case, students will play a kahoot game
that I will include.
During the evaluation stage, you are assessing students knowledge
of the skills or topic taught.
You can do this using many tools or apps. In my lesson,
I'm creating a OneNote assignment for my students. I
added a main idea worksheet to the content library an now I'm
attaching it as a resource to the teams assignment.
After adding it as a resource you can select.
The due date, the time that it is do you can add points to
determine how much the assignment is worth.
You can also decide to add it to all of your students
accounts or to only a select group of students.
And then you can also use tools such as turnitin to check for
originality. Using teams assignment is a great way to
assess your students, whether you're assessing them
formatively or summative Lee.
Now you've learned about 5 E's flipped and blended
learning. Let's talk about some teams best practices.
Communication use general channel for announcements as
to not interrupt the flow of the weekly lessons set.
Channel provisions for moderation so that students
aren't able to make posts between your 5 E posts.
Though I would definitely allow them to reply so that
they can ask questions or you can create meaningful
discussions around topics.
Try to format your conversations as announcements as I did, my
students had become very accustomed to seeing the five
these headings. Alternatively,
you could. Use days of the weeks, days of the week as
headings for your post, knowing that Monday would be engaged
Tuesday. Explore and so on.
During that explain phase, when you're using teams, meetings for
whole class lessons, remember to set norms in utilized.
Mute as well as meeting options.
For student engagement in management, remember
organization is key. Try to order an teacher, students to
pin channels so that they are easily accessible. Also create
student helpers and manage those helpers with tags.
Use praise to reward positive online behavior and teach your
students how to use help for problem solving skills.
Remember, teams is purposely built for education and
customized with the way schools collaborate. Teachers
teach and students learn, create blended and flipped.
Learning classrooms that will save you time and better
engages students in modern learning.
