What is the flipped classroom?

What a flipped classroom is NOT:

Synonym for online videos

Replacing teachers with videos

Students working without structure

An online course

Students spending the entire class

staring at a computer screen

Students working in isolation

What a flipped classroom IS:

INCREASED interaction and personalized attention between

students and teachers

Environment for students to take responsibility for

their own learning

Teacher is the “Guide on the

Side” instead of the “Lord at the

Board”

Classroom where students who are absent can easily catch up

Classroom where content is archived for

review

Balance of the flipped classroom

Videos Personalized Attention

Why I flipped my classroom…

Is flipping your classroom a good fit?

Are you willing to put in

extra work initially?

Do your students have the technology to view out-of-

class videos? Do you have the equipment to create them?

Are you enthusiastic about the flipped model’s ability to change education? Or

just in it for the trendiness?

Are you looking for a

magical solution?
