What is Flipped Classroom/Instruction/Inversed?
History
Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams,(2007) two chemistry teachers in
Woodland Park, Colorado, needed to help students who had missed class - because
of sickness, or varsity sports, or for other reasons - catch up on their school work. It
was massively inefficient, in fact impossible, to try to teach each student each
missed lesson, one at a time. So they decided to create a series of videos of their
lectures for the absent students to watch at home. Word got out. Soon, Woodland
Park students who had attended class began watching the videos for clarification as
they worked on their homework assignments. Then, educators and students from
other districts found and used the videos as well.

Watching all this, Sams realized that the videos could be used routinely to teach
core course material the night before each class met, with class time the next day
used to engage with students and ensure understanding; the conventional
instructional model could be “flipped.” More teaching time was gained, and more
effective teaching and learning achieved. The next school year, Bergmann and
Sams began recording lectures for every class and every unit, flipping their
classrooms completely (Bermann & Sams, 2012).
Definition of Flipped Classroom

In a flipped classroom, students access teaching content outside the

classroom and discuss it with peers or apply what has been learned in
the classroom to the new content.
Flipped classroom is considered one kind of blended learning,
defined as “the blend or mixture of any two instructional
technologies”. (Caner, 2012, p. 24).
A flipped classroom must include the following two components:
computer-based instruction: for individual students outside the
classroom.
Interactive group learning: activities inside the classroom.
 Traditional Classroom VS Flipped Classroom
Instruction → In-Class
Assignment → Out-Class
Class time requires multitasking; students
listen to an instructor speak, process the
new information being conveyed, and write
down key ideas for future reference.
With the lecture delivered, teachers can
dedicate class time to the active integration
of new knowledge.
Instruction → Out-Class
Assignment → In-Class
Allowing students to learn new material at
their own pace: they can pause the video to
take notes and process information; they can
rewind and review the video if there is
something they do not understand.
class time is often used for student
collaboration, skill development,
presentations, problem solving – all to foster
a deeper understanding of content
Benefits/Advantages of the FC
 Time Saving
 Learning is Self-Paced, Self-Managed, and Self-Regulated
 Students Get Help on Difficult Topics.
 The Teacher-Student Interaction Is Enhanced.
 It Allows for Differentiation.
 It Creates an Atmosphere of Learning.
 Students Can Learn at Their Pace.
 It Helps When Students Are Absent.
 It Helps When the Teacher Is Absent.
 You Don’t Have to Flip Every Lesson.
 Relationships with Students Are Better.
Tools of the Flipped Classroom FC

Technology is the primary tool of the flipped classroom to film, edit, and upload their
videos.
PowerPoint or SmartBoards
Tablet Device
Office365
Video Quality: is the success of the FC is very depend on it.
Voice Recordings: must be done clearly with minimal background noise.
Cameras: cameras software must capture clear images.
The pace and the amount of the videos, voice recordings, and cameras length information
conveyed should match the students’ capacity, age, skill-level, and attention.
Common Questions to be Asked and Answered.
What if the Students Doesn’t Watch the Video?
Require students to take notes and question them about material.
Who Should Make the Videos? Teachers no one else.
How Long Should the Videos Be? Shorter Videos, and Focus on Basic Information.
Can This Be Done on a Budget? FC doesn’t require expensive equipment. But needs, iPod,
Tablet.
Will it Increase Student Screen Time?
We heard from teachers and parents is that we will be increasing student screen time
What About Parents? Send a letter home or explain it at parent-teacher conferences, and We
have found that once the flipped classroom is explained to the parents well, they are eager to
embrace it.
What Will I Do with Class Time? “What is the best use of your face-to-face class time?” Once
you have determined what that is, then you should do that, and only that, in your class.
Is Video Instruction Going to Replace the Teacher? We believe that the teacher is actually
more valuable in a flipped classroom.
Conclusion
John Bergmann and Aaron Sams are concluded that:

“We Have Been Amazed at How This Simple Concept not Only Has Helped our Students,
but
Has Made an Impact on Thousands of Students Across the Globe”.
