Flipped classroom - how to make the most of your learning resources

The best way of getting the most out of the learning resources you create with GoConqr is to define your goals beforehand. For instance: Are you looking to simplify a complex lesson so that students can better absorb it? Is your resource meant to act as a jumping off point for students to launch research of their own? Would the lesson be best presented in a video, note, slide or set of flashcards? Setting a goal before each class will give you more time to focus on what direction your learning resource will take and what type of resource is best suited to any specific lesson.

What is the goal of the lesson?

In order to maximise the value of the learning materials that you create, first think about the benefit they will provide to your students.For example, Mind Maps are a great way of linking together seemingly disparate yet related concepts through a blend of visuals, text and annotations. These are easy to make and offer an extremely flexible way of creating engaging content for students, which they can share with others.

What should the students learn?

No matter what subject area you are dealing with, breaking down larger chunks of information into more easily digested parts via Notes or Flashcards can be extremely helpful in developing a sound knowledge base in students.Once learners have built a solid understanding of the core principles of a subject, teachers can then dedicate class time to deepening students' understanding by discussing any questions or problems they may have.And the conversation needn't end in the classroom either, as GoConqr users can create groups and continue the discussion online.

What are the key concepts to discuss?

• To Kill a Mockingbird - Themes, Motifs & Symbols
• Online Teaching and Learning
• Physics revision cards

Are you providing the right information on topics?

• Culture and Identity Mind Map
• Global History Regents Review Notes (Europe)

In order to help students fully understand a topic, it is important that educator's approach lesson planning in a thoughtful way.However, preparing lessons so that they cover all the key points can be difficult. But with GoConqr, users can revisit their learning resources so they can continually edit and update them until they perform exactly as required.What's more, the content that teachers and learners create can also be shared with other users through GoConqr Groups. When content is engaging and clear, the number of users that interact with it is more likely to increase.
