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)
