What a Flipped Classroom Model does
Concept engagement takes place in the classroom with the help of the instructor.
Students get the lectures at home at their own pace, communicating with peers and teachers via online
discussions.

Educational technology and activity learning are two key components of the flipped classroom.
How it got started
2007: Teachers Jonathan Bergman and Aaron Sams at Woodland Park, CO, started using software to record PowerPoint presentations.

They recorded and posted their live lectures online for students who missed class.
The lectures started spreading.
Bergman and Sams were asked to speak to teachers around the country about their methods.
Flipped Classroom
Teachers began using online videos and video podcasts to teach students outside of class, reserving class time for collaborative work and concept mastery exercises.

What is driving it?
An average of 7,200 students drop out of high school each day, totaling 1.3 million a year.
What is driving it?
The availability of online video and increasing student access to technology has paved the way for flipped classroom models.

• Teachers created three videos a week.
• Students watched the 5 to 7 minute videos at home or in school if they did not have access at home.
• Class time was spent doing labs or interactive activities to illustrate concepts.

MISCONCEPTIONS
Flip Misconception #1
Implementing the Flipped Learning method makes me, as the teacher, much less important.
The teacher becomes a facilitator in the classroom. The teacher interacts with students, meeting the unique learning needs of every student.
Flip Misconception #2
Videos have to be assigned as homework.
Videos are often used by teachers flipping their classroom but any learning tool can be used.
Flip Misconception #3
Most of my kids do not even have internet access at home. There is no way they can watch all of this video.
If students do not have Internet access at home, access to information can be provided by flash drive, CD, DVD or checking out a computer. Also, students can access content within the classroom, library or public library.
Flip Misconception #4
Where is the accountability? How do I even know if kids are watching the videos?
Assignments can be accompanied with discussion boards, questions or short exercises. If students did not watch the videos, they can do so in class while others work on activities.
Flip Misconception #5
As a teacher, I don’t have the time or the expertise to produce all of the videos required to teach like this.
Yes there is some up front work but there are many tools to help record lectures and much of your current content can be modified to use. Students can create lessons too!
