The Flipped Classroom Model: A Full Picture Due to Khan Academy’s popularity, the idea of the flipped classroom has gained press and credibility within education circles. Briefly, the Flipped Classroom as described by Jonathan Martin is: Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done in homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups, researching, collaborating, crafting and creating. A compiled resource page of the Flipped Classroom (with videos and links) can be found at The advantage of the flipped classroom is that the content, often the theoretical/lecture-based component of the lesson, becomes more easily accessed and controlled by the learner. It is important, though, not to be seduced by the messenger. The problem is that educators, as a group, know how to do and use the lecture.

ThomsonScience | Ramblings about my life as a chemistry teacher Flipping the classroom. It's time. For years I've been talking about how online learning creates a "reversal of fortune," because in a classroom the student is entirely on the teacher's turf, but as soon as you put learning online it's the opposite. It's the teacher and the learning that has to adapt to the student's personal environment. This reversal has enormous ramifications, the top of the heap being that online learning must now be considered a product in ways the classroom does not. You can't assume learners will follow your rules just because you say so. The reversal of fortune has now evolved, and its offspring is the flipped classroom. is, at its most basic, asking students to learn the content at home and practice it in the classroom, instead of the other way around. Pearson has been flipping the classroom with its MyMathLab product for years, though sometimes without the knowledge of the faculty. So how does this relate to the online learning "reversal of fortune?" What does all this mean?

I spy with my #flipclass eye…Is texting the problem? | flipperteach Can I be honest? I wrote and passed notes in class my entire high school career. I even collected said notes and displayed them in shoe box with pride. “Look! This is what I have accomplished!”. Did this extensive social note writing hinder my education? In fact, at times the entire class participated in social note writing, and notes would pass around and be added to throughout class. Communicating as I learn is how I put pieces of the puzzle together. As an adult, I now know that with my own learning, communication always leads to engagement. This year as I transitioned from being a “stand and deliver” teacher to one where I am more a “guide on the side” in the flipped classroom, I gained time to interact with and observe students in an insightful way. When I see it happen, I know: “Yup, I went the wrong way, turn around and find your way back to the heart of the matter.” Students need to be engaged. In our flip classroom cell phones/technology are welcome in class. P.S. Like this:
Flipped classroom - no more It seemed like a good idea. It worked for a while. How do I know? Then it didn't work anymore. The test results were horrible. Even though it's disappointing that the flipped classroom strategy didn't work, I'm happy we tried it. Afterwards, I talked at length about why we tried flipped classroom (to get more time for problem solving / exercises in class because the students were not doing them at home). 12 Screencasting Tools For Creating Video Tutorials Ever wondered how people show you so clearly what is happening on their computer, like in the Photoshop Video Tutorials we shared with you?
