So. Are you still pondering over the great question?

To FLIP or not to FLIP?

Then, follow me.

What is the flipped classroom, anyway?

#1. A teacher records a short

video of himself, delivering the same

(or adapted) content, as he would

present in class. 10-15 minutes

#2. A student watches the video

at home and prepares for

tomorrow’s class, taking charge of his

learning.

#3. In class, students work in

small groups or on personalized

assignments to develop better

understanding and solve problems.

The Basic Structure

Why Flip?Students take

active approach and learn more deeply.

Flipped learning helps students stay engaged.

Knowledge gaps become clearly visible.

Group work encourages knowledge sharing.

Students are saved from the homework struggle.

Sounds good?

+ add the fact that students love it.

1. Prior to every World History class, John now records 10-minute long videos that his students can watch at their own pace to prepare for the class time.

2. The pleasure that he gets from delivering the mini-lectures exactly the way he wants is greater than his fear of cameras. And to be fair, he does really dislike the demanding eye of a camera lens. 3. Thanks to the flipped classroom model, he is also able to involve external World History experts and engage students through real-life stories.

This is John.

4. John supplements videos with brief online quizzes and games to get immediate feedback on the points that his students missed or found unclear, collecting crucial data about each student’s individual level and pace of learning. 5. Using the quiz results, John is able to design personalized classroom assignments that assist his students with grasping the essential information, and memorizing the dates and events. 6. He finally feels that his students are starting to appreciate the depth and intrigue of the multi-layered World History.

This is John.

If John can do it, so can you.

A Few Tips For The Future…

Parents often struggle alongside children. By moving homework into the classroom, you’re saving their

time, too. Remember this if an extra argument is needed to justify your

decision to flip.

Sometimes you’ll just want to check whether your students watched the videos at all. Try asking a couple of basic questions, like: “What was the

colour of my shirt?” or “Which example I showed was most helpful

to you?”

Why Not?Because how

will I know if my course design is effective?

Because how will I control, who’s watching the videos?

Because… TECHNOLOGY??

Okay. We get it. It’s stressful, and you don’t want to fail.

The best advice is to seek advice.

So you can…

1. Do your research.

2. Talk to fellow teachers who are already flipping.

3. Browse the WEB.
