Innovation Middle School, District Awarded 'Classroom of the Future' Award
Congratulations to San Diego Unified School District and Innovation Middle School for winning the Classroom of the Future Foundation's 2012 Innovate Award.
Innovation Middle School won the award for "flipping" the classroom using the internet. "Flipping" means that students use the internet to watch a video lesson online from home. When they get to school, instead of hearing a lecture, they take a short daily assessment so they can be placed into differentiated learning groups. Students are able to watch the video lessons from home because the school provides small laptops to access the videos and other class materials.
At a ceremony on May 17, the award was presented to Superintendent Bill Kowba, as well as educators and students from Innovation Middle School, by Clayton Hoyle, Co-Founder of EDmin, Inc., which sponsored the award.
"It was great to see these enthusiastic educators and students get recognition for their accomplishments," Hoyle said. "We've known for a long time that personalized instruction makes a tremendous difference in helping students be successful. We congratulate these award winners for 'flipping' their way to an innovative way of learning." |
