IDEAS TO SHARE
Kahoot quiz to motivate students to study at home independently and find out who understands the topic and who needs further explanation (1, 5).
The teacher can give weak students an individual consultation at school or online when they are not confident about a particular topic (2).
Teachers should work collaboratively and share their resources and experience with each other (3, 4).
Teachers get enough trained (4).
Schools can look for sponsors or apply for grants (6).
RESULTS
Teachers can pay more attention to individual students (individual approach).
Students are more motivated and involved. Active participation makes them reach a better success.
FLIPPED CLASSROOM - STUDENT-ACTIVE LEARNING
Mix between individual and cooperation:
Start a task individually for a few minutes- find out as much as possible
Then a pair work, to work with the same task together for maybe 10 minutes
Two and two pairs work together, to develop the amount of knowledge for maybe 20-30 minutes
Give each group different tasks (4 different Norwegian animals), new group consists of one from each animal-group, who teach the others

During this meeting they presented innovative strategies for extending student learning beyond the school walls. Further information on the flipped classroom is available on request
