Since Jonathan Bergman and Aaron Sams first experimented with the idea in their Colorado classrooms in 2004, flipped learning has exploded onto the larger educational scene. It’s been one of the hottest topics in education for several years running and doesn’t seem to be losing steam. Basically, it all started when Bergman and Sams first came across a technology that makes it easy to record videos. They had a lot of students that regularly missed class and saw an opportunity to make sure that missing class didn’t mean missing out on the lessons.
Once students had the option of reviewing the lessons at home, the teachers quickly realized the shift opened up additional time in class for more productive, interactive activities than the lectures they’d been giving. And voila: a movement began. A 2014 survey from the Flipped Learning network found that 78% of teachers said they’d flipped a lesson, and 96% of those that tried it said they’d recommend it.

One of the most popular topics in education today is the Flipped Classroom, a model in which teachers send their students home with a lesson (usually in the form of a video) and then engage in exercises and practice in the classroom after the fact.
It has many advantages, namely getting the basic nuances out of the way and working on projects and problems with the teacher in the room. This year at my school, I’ve been inspired by this model to flip our tech-related professional development. Videos usually work best When I flip my educational technology workshops and staff events, I use a variety of tools –primarily screencasts, instructional videos, and some step by step how-to lists. I’ve generally found providing videos to be most successful. There are a myriad of tools available for recording video on screen (I love Camtasia and Snagit by Techsmith for capturing directly from the screen; if I want to do an iPad video I use them in conjunction with AirServer). Flipping in Advance. Resources for Flipped Classroom. After careful reflection on my predominantly direct instruction approach to teaching middle school math, I came to the realization that the majority of the students sitting in my classroom were maybe not listening to my lessons.
Why? Well, this is not the way our students learn. When they want information, they Google it or look it up on YouTube. As a teacher depending predominately on direct instruction, I found I was repeating myself AFTER teaching the content to the class. It seem like around 30% didn’t need my instructions, 30% were so far behind that they didn’t understand what I taught and the other 40% learned from my instruction.
I realized that if I limit my time teaching to the whole group, I would have more time to meet with and work with students at their level. My students’ standardized test scores continue to grow.

Three Questions to Consider Before We All Flip. It seems like you can't open an education periodical these days without finding an article espousing the wonders of flipping the classroom. Like most initiatives in schools, flipping the classroom does have merit in the right situation. But also like most initiatives it's not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Even if you have not had the opportunity to attend or teach a flipped course, you have likely seen a recent article about this teaching technique in the press. As college professors who have been conducting a study on flipped classrooms for the past two years (supported in part by a National Science Foundation grant), we’d like to suggest a perspective on this type of research. First, what is a flipped or inverted classroom? We set out to measure whether students would learn more in flipped classrooms than in our usual interactive lecture courses.
The Four Pillars of Flipped Learning. May 10, 2014 In today's post I am sharing with you this excellent visual featuring the four pillars of flipped classroom, but before that here is a reminder of what flipped classroom is all about: Flipped classroom or flipped learning is a methodology, an approach to learning in which technology is employed to reverse the traditional role of classroom time. If in the past, classroom time is spent at lecturing to students , now in a flipped model, this time is utilized to encourage individualized learning and provide one-on-one help to students, and also to improve student-teacher interaction. While the instructional or teachable content is still available in class, however this content is mainly designed in such a way to be accessed outside class which is a great way for struggling students to learn at their own pace.
Check out this page for more resources on Flipped Learning. I learned about this visual from our colleagues in Teachthought. Keep the lectures at home: New ‘flipped classroom’ model focuses class-time on experiments in Easthampton. EASTHAMPTON — Easthampton High School junior Kevin Van Oudenhove may not be familiar with the term “flipped classroom.” But he knows there’s something different about the honors chemistry class he’s taking this semester. For homework, Van Oudenhove’s teacher, Shawn Sheehan, asks students to watch videotaped lectures and other lesson materials posted on his website.
Class time is devoted to solving equations, conducting lab experiments and working on group research projects. Van Oudenhove said he likes that much of the basic instruction for chemistry class happens outside of the classroom. “If we spent all class listening to lectures and taking down notes, we wouldn’t be able to do this,” he said, in an interview last week, gesturing towards a table where his lab partners were busy creating a reaction with baking soda and acetic acid. Classmate and fellow EHS junior Jennifer Szafir said she is also a fan of flipping the traditional spheres for classroom and homework.
In Flipped Classrooms, Videos Require Attention - Teaching Now. From the Diary of a Flipped Classroom Newbie. Like any teacher passionate about his or her subject, I LOVE working problems in physics with my students. During my first year of teaching, class time was spent largely on concepts and examples. But only on the rare occasion did time permit ample student practice--a critical component for student success. If students make a mistake consistently, correction does not come easily without instant feedback. If questions arise while doing the work, too much time will pass before they can ask. But I quickly realized--if we were to shift basic concepts and introductory examples to outside of class, we could be discussing problems and allow for more practice time in class.
The logical solution: going flipped. I learned about the “Flipped Model” during my junior year of college, and had wanted to run my classes on that model from the beginning. Planning out the flipped lesson I had used Explain Everything before to solve a problem for my students so they could see the method.

The Flipped Classroom model allows every student to learn at their own pace, with the rewind button of online content being used frequently as students navigate digital courses. Combined with the own-place, own-time nature of eLearning, this means students now consume content in a very asynchronous manner. How do we know which students have completed their lesson and to what extent they have understood it?
When classroom content which was previously consumed in a social context is now consumed in relative isolation at home, how do teachers get the information they need to teach effectively? Engaging in Isolation In validating the efficacy of eLearning, teachers feel challenged by the task of creating of engaging content. Early Intervention. Flipped Learning Explained Visually.

The Flipped Classroom: Pro and Con. In 2012, I attended the ISTE conference in San Diego, CA. While I was only there for about 36 hours, it was easy for me to pick up on one of the hottest topics for the three-day event. The "flipped classroom" was being discussed in social lounges, in conference sessions, on the exhibit floor, on the hashtag and even at dinner. People wanted to know what it was, what it wasn't, how it's done and why it works. Others wanted to sing its praises and often included a vignette about how it works in their classroom and how it transformed learning for their students. Still others railed that the model is nothing transformative at all and that it still emphasizes sage-on-the-stage direct instruction rather than student-centered learning.
I engaged in a few of these discussions offline and online, and while I'm still on the fence about my feelings toward the model, I can offer some insight and interpretation.

My personal view – anything that can enhance learning. There is nothing wrong with the delivery of content with stimulating development tasks and thought provoking plenary and those educators are very successful and students learn a great deal. So what to do in the ‘flipped class’?
