What Is a Flipped Classroom?

At the end of this slide, you will be able to:

Define "the flipped classroom." Explore how this concept changes the instructional landscape. Reflect on ways that "flipping" can enable student success.

Some Definitions
The flipped classroom changes the place in which content is delivered (Valenza, 2012). Basically the concept of a flipped class is this: that what is traditionally done in class is now done at home, and that which is traditionally done as homework is now completed in class. But as you will see, there is more to a flipped classroom than this (Bergmann & Sams, 2012).

The Changing Educational Landscape

The home becomes the lecture space. The hundred+ year-old frontal teaching model flips. The class becomes conversation space, creation space, space where teachers actively facilitate learning. Class time is freed up for interactive and applied learning, activities that inspire critical thinking, exploration, inquiry, discussion, collaboration, problem solving. -Valenza, 2012

Does flipping enable student success?

Pros Easier for students who may have missed class to keep up because they can watch the video at any time. Teachers spend class time working through any gaps or misunderstandings around the content. Students move at their own pace. More time for one-to-one. Cons Same teacher-centered approach, only online. Repacking of traditional, didactic learning. Lack of teacher interaction. Digital Divide Not everyone learns best through a screen. THINK/PAIR/SHARE

How Can We Make It Work?

(Gerstein, 2011)

Reflect
Think of your favorite lesson? Could it be enhanced by flipping? What would your students gain? What would be lost?

Take Away
Reflecting on pedagogy. Rethinking how teachers reach students. Inspiring teachers to change the way theyve always done things. Motivating teachers to use technology. (Herz, 2012)
