Flipped Classroom
The flipped classroom is a form of blended learning that brings together advances in education and technology to deliver instruction online, outside of class, via video, and moving 'homework' into the classroom. The end result is a personalized, engaging learning experience for every student — whatever their learning style, pace, or ability.


With the teacher at the front and seats in rows, the classroom has barely changed in the last century. But we now know that there's no “one size fits all” approach to learning – and the flipped classroom model brings together advances in education and technology to provide a personalized, engaging learning experience for every student – whatever their learning style, pace, or ability.

Use google docs - for homework…( reading or watching a video)
get students to ask questions...encourage to answer other…
Face to face time to recap discussions…
Podcasts...Videos for class…

Four Pillars of Flipped Learning
Flipped learning requires
  • Flexible environments
  • a shift in Learning culture
  • Intentional content
  • Professional educators
Tips for a better flipped classroom (see http://tinyurl.com/tml9tipsflip)
  1. Devise a flipped strategy
  2. Start small
  3. Get student buy-in
  4. Teach parents, too
  5. Teach students how to watch videos (Really!)
  6. Encourage (don't punish) students
  7. Don't use videos as the only engagement tool
  8. Make videos short and interactive
  9. Find fellow flippers
In-Class Flipping (See http://tinyurl.com/tmlflip)
Besides the fact that it avoids the home-related problems of a traditional flip, the In-Class Flip has other advantages as well:
  • The teacher can observe whether students are really watching.
  • The initial exposure to the video content has a better chance to sink in.
  • Hardware is (presumably) safer.
In-Class Flipping is not without its own challenges:
  • It doesn't make for tidy one-period lesson plans.
  • More preparation is required at the beginning. .
  • Technically, you don’t "gain" more class time.
Blended Models (see http://tinyurl.com/tmlblended)
These blended learning models come from the Clayton Christensen Institute
  • Rotation model
    • Station Rotation
    • Lab Rotation
    • Flipped Classroom
  • Flex model
  • A La Carte model
  • Enriched Virtual model
