SOPHIA.org is a free education platform that allows teachers to easily create online activities which can be used in a flipped classroom on blended environment. Using Sophia is easy and free. The tutorials below will help you get started.
Flipped/Blended Project - determine your topic topic and gather your resources. Use Sophia to create an instructional activity for your students to use if you were “Flipping your classroom.” Include a WSQ and an explanation of how you would use the WSQ and what would happen the next day in class.
There are many ways you can use the WSQ in your class. There definitely isn't "one right way"! What happens after the students watch the video and complete their WSQ?
Now class time can be made meaningful and purposeful, where students have the opportunity to make meaning of the material and make connections to other content in an environment with the support of the teacher and other classmates, understand the concepts at a deeper level through practice, answering and posing questions, or explaining problems/solutions to others, and receive one-on-one support and explanation from the teacher or other student "experts" when needed. Using the WSQ is somewhat structured and holds students accountable for their work and learning.
