I tried flipped classroom before. I use SMART Board and I prepared lessons with it and send them to my students. The following day we practised the subject in different ways. It is a very good technique and students learn better.

# data[].attributes.body
The key challenges to implement the model in class in my opinion, we must first eliminate the skepticism of many teachers and then make people understand how important to change because we are in the 21st century and not in the Middle Ages.

the first thing we must change is not our old tablet, but our usual and old way to evaluate. When it will change into ourselves, we will flip our mind, so we will be able to update all our IT skills, and devices to create our flipped class.

I am trying to have my classrooms flipped, but sometimes I think that it is not useful because I am tge only t that wants so.

almost my colleagues think that it is not "so serious" and this method difficults the way to evaluate. I think that they say so, because they are well doing things in this way, without changes. change is the real flipped thing!!

# data[].attributes.body
I think the key challenges would be in the first place, to have a good internet connection, in the second place, to have a very good knowledge of the apps and tools, In the third place ,To plan a good lesson.

I think environment, time, technology, students and parents participating in this metod are big challenges for me.

Flipped classroom is a good method, but how can we as a teacher get the environment to take video undisturbed, not at home but in the school. We need also mycket time to think about what is the most important in our lesson that we want the students to learn. To be able to do the lessons well, we might need others to help as a fotograf. I have seen one school in Stockholm there they have a film team in school to help with fotograf and technology. As a teacher, we normally did not get this type of help from school, but we have to manage by ourselves if we want to do these.

Also students and parents need to agree with this type of method and support the students at home to watch the video. Often if it is not very interesting, the students just neglect to watch them in advanced and come to lessons without watching anything. It is a bit challenging for the teacher to accept if you put a lot of time to do flipped classroom, the students do not care about that， which is depressing for the teacher to see.

# data[].attributes.body
Challenges for me- technology, internet connectivity, time

# data[].attributes.body
Key challenges:
- Teacher planning
- Parental involvement
- School schedules appropriate for the students work at home
- social environments of students so as to take: tablets, internet, etc ...

Filipping the classroom means extra work for students and teachers.

- How to make teachers motivated enough to prepare videos in their free time

- How to make students motivated enough to watch the videos at home

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Luís Carvalho from Portugal that for using this methodology students to review their thinking about assignments and lot of work and good teacher collaboration. Of course parents also need to be aware of what Flipping the classroom means and believe that is a good methodology. However, I became a fan of Flipping the classroom and believe that is a great way to teach. Is one more strategy to use in classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
The key challenges are:

* TIME: you need a lot of time if you want to produce your own materials. Of course, you can use other teacher's materials. There's a lot of them in Internet.

But you need time to evaluate too. You must follow the learning process of each students. If you have hundreds of students, that's not easy. You need to find the way to do that.

* PERSONALISTION: I think it's difficult to personalise at the beginning. As I told before, I've never flipped the class but I've sometimes used these thecniques as a part of a theme or subject.

I think the more you work in the flipped classroom model the easier is to find the way to take on these challenges.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the challanges to implementing the model for me would be the involvement and support of parents and the time for carefully planning and preparing the materials.

One of the issues would be the lack of a good Internet connection.

# data[].attributes.body
I think flipped classroom is a different and new way to teach. But it is possible if the students have connecting to the internet or have computer, ipads and their parents can give them the application to use it. So it can work better with secondary pupils.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the

# data[].attributes.body
I think the time to prepare could be a problem for pupils – a lot of activities after school and for teachers – to adapt and to prepare new materials.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the starting point of a lesson is the theory, not a problem situation to engage students... So I think that flipped classroom, in spite of changes in order, that provides advantages in front the classic model, it doesn't support inquiry based learning and meaningful laerning. At least for the exemples I saw in the video...

# data[].attributes.body
I still have some challenges to implementing the flipped classrooms:

1. I need time to prepare the material. I used to prepare quite well my lessons, but in this situation I'm sure I'll change my mind too often before I finish the preparation.

2. I have to get the agreement of students' parents on using TeamUp (or something similar) for Physics lessons; I'm not sure it will be easy, because I have to ask firstly the permission from my headteacher.

3. It will be very hard to keep my students keen to new approach, to have their enthousiasm along the flipped classroom, to make them to not forget to prepare themselves; I'm sure I'll need parents help with this, but I don't know yet if they will agree and will have time for helping.

Flipped classroon is innovative pedagogical and didactic but there are some challenges as a teacher should be taken seriously, such as the attitude of parents towards this education model as we need all the pupils have internet access and tablet device or home computer. Moreover all the students in the class must be familirized with this way of teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
Flipped classroom is a methodological change for students, teachers and families.It includes holding digital resources and a good internet connection at home. The main challenge is to apply these new own tendencies of this century.

# data[].attributes.body
Flipping the classroom, or ‘inverted teaching’ is a response to the idea that class time can be used to engage students in learning through active learning techniques, rather than through delivering lectures alone. Flipping the classroom is the process of replacing traditional lectures with active learning, discussions.., and other forms of group work. Content delivery is moved outside of the classroom

# data[].attributes.body
I think the challenges are many but the main one is finally able to make sure that everyone has to have the pleasure of learning, especially those with different needs, for those soraggia. it is important to get direct access to knowledge. Two years ago we won a competition of the Ministry asking how to use technology for the DSA, we ipad with the resources that we found before we could think of. I think the model is flipped beautiful. I would love to apply my knowledge, I saw him do, and I think the key thing is that the teacher lavor very at home but then at school is facilitated because it can observe the children in group dynamics, can, advise and help boys on their journey of discovery.

# data[].attributes.body
flipped classroom is good it helps cooperation and learning

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah, the first movie was in Swedish!! Anyway, back to flipped classroom. The biggest challenges is definately convincing the parents that this is something that I not only believe in but that I also will make work s othat the outcome will be an increased learning for their children.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers must start teaching differently and cooperate with each other, students must be taught how to do this... I have tried it this school year and students loved it!

# data[].attributes.body
In the future...

# data[].attributes.body
It still requires a lot of time and collaboration among teachers.
Despite "flipping" the teaching to the students, the teach needs a lot of work hours to manage these kind of models.

Students also need to think differently about their home assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
I think principal challenge is to involve other teachers of the class and parents in flipped classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Flipped classroom is a very interesting approach for teaching subjects that students already came across. This is very useful to allow them to understand if they have the correct scientific knowledge of that subject or if they have to remake the understanding of all subject. I tried it with the learning of some subjects my students talked about in previous years and it was a great experience for me and for them.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge is to get the students actually do the preliminary work and after school, making the most appealing features and different from what is usually considered as conventional class. Also prepare parents for the fact that students spend time at home with the tablet in educational tasks and not for distraction.

# data[].attributes.body
To implement this model I think the most important part is the students were so interested and involved in performing work that they do alone and at home. To maintain this motivation still think it is important to know the students, their needs, their interests, be in constant communication with them and do the detailed planning of the development of themes.

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge for the teacher is planning in a correct way the activities and to prepare students and parents to this methodology. Many students are used to a passive method of learning. the teacher speaks and they listen (may be). Flipped classroom requires the students have motivation ,engagement and responsability to work at home in a more active way.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, I think the ONLY challenge is to dare to try it out :-) !

Every country, every school, every teacher might have some problems to solve first, but it is worth trying! "Just do it!" :-)

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Aune - I think the key challenge is that not everyone is used to do all homework and prepare for the lesson, they are used to come to school to learn and study at home only for the tests. Perhaps there are too many distractions at home...

# data[].attributes.body
I think principal challenge is to involve other teachers of the class and parents in flipped classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I think there are a number of challenges. A real lesson flipped classroom model requires a great advance preparation by art teacher, consuming much time and resources which are not always. The existence of tablets and wi fi good connections can also be a problem. And the students themselves, who may have some resistance to this type of school, they may feel they have more work or, even may find they do not need to be alert to face class.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion there are two main challenges, the first challenge is that not all the students can hav a tablet, but we can solve this using other devices like netbooks or sometimes theeis smartphones. The second challenge maybe the most difficult to solve , it is the methodology, because students are used to traditional ways of learnng, I mean long teacher explanation, text books and notebooks, and when you flip the classroom is shocking for them but I think that when they get used to this kind of classrooms every learning takes place in a more effective way

# data[].attributes.body
One of challeges would be that not all the students have the possibility of having a tablet at home to do the part they are supposed to at home. Another one would be that not all of them will do the task for home so next day would be difficult to continue with the activities planned to do during the lesson. It would be also important that the teacher knows the preferences of the students in order to prepare a suitable lesson plann.

# data[].attributes.body
The key changes to implement the model of the flipped classroom in my country depend on several factors such as: number of students in a room;  small rooms; poor Wi-Fi; insufficient devices;  poor educated families; poor human and technological resources ; low motivation from staff and teachers due to heavy overtime work.

# data[].attributes.body
Flipped Classroom is really amazing.

# data[].attributes.body
I've never listened before about of flipped the classroom. It's so changeling because you have to take into a count the preference, make a good lesson planing and be and try to guess what will be good for them.

but it has a lot of advantages like allows students to take the time they need, also to use the learning strategies they want, they don't feel pressure...

I tried to do it in my lesson plan, although I think you should have more experience for doing it in a proper way

# data[].attributes.body
My main problem is to make my students do the start of the flip before my class. Since I don´t usually have homework as a part of my teaching, it´s hard to motivate the students to suddenly do that. Another part of the problem is that we don´t have a common strategy for this amongst my colleagues. It would be easier if we all flipped.
So how do I handle it? I try to give the students who watch the film (or whatever my flip is) an added value. This could be a teaser for a coming project, it could be the timesave in class (they can start work immediately), it could be the possibility for them to show other students what they have learned.
No, I´m not on the place where I can get an added value to every single student every single time, but I´m getting there. I really do believe in the model.

# data[].attributes.body
In my learning scenario the big challenges are (in this order!):

1. my ability to plan carefully the whole frame of the activity, which also means further developing my "digital skills". I will try with short videos, as Monica has clearly and simply shared with us. I already prefer to start new topics with the students being already familiar with part of the content/lexical items/ etc., but asking students to come to class with this kind of homework done is not routine yet for the students. Videos rather than reading activities to initiate.

2. it follows as a consequence of 1.: students' responsibility and active participation is a fundamental scaffolding of the flipped classroom model. I will start with a class of students I already know, where I have already worked towards cooperation and active participation.

Then another important issues will be taking into account that at the end of the school year hopefully deeper learning will have occurred but probably at the expense of a reduced program, and this too must be considered at school/parents level.

# data[].attributes.body
The key challenges are:

- Good planning and identifying the tasks to be developed during each of the Edukata phases as the flipped classroom learning method;

- Knowing your students learning styles, their preferences, interests, needs and prior experiences;

- Identifying the best possible and most interesting final products.

Main difficulties:

- Students do not have tablets, smartphones or pcs (with internet connections) at home;

- Explaining and implementing the flipped classroom methodology for the 1st time. Afterwards it is just a case of adjusting what needs to be improved.

In my opinion some of the challenges are:

1. Not every student has a computer or internet access at home.

2. Most of the teachers and parents are still not prepared for the flipped classroom. Hence, their mentality needs to be changed. The teacher is still believed to be the only source of information, the person who should know all the answers and who is supposed to deliver the traditional lessons in the classroom. Hence EDUCATION and training to both teachers and parents is needed. Getting both teachers and parents on board is a difficult, yet very important challenge that we all must face and work on for this model to succeed.

4.5 Challenges of the Flipped Classroom

I think there are many challenges and advantages. I like the idea of pupils coming to class with specific queries and being able to help pupils at different paces is also a really good thing.

From a planning perspective, this could be very time consuming and there are so many resources available. The challenge is to sometimes define and limit the possibilities and to manage time well ,

It is a skill that pupils need to learn as other people have said.

# data[].attributes.body
challenges:

Since we discuss about a new learning approach I think that we need to think about a whole new methodology. The flipped model on it's own will not bring the solution (as this won't happen with any piece of technology). It is not the case that an instructor's video tutorial (as part of the flipping process) will do everything. Careful planning and structure of the methodology used is extremely important.

Things to consider:

as previously mentioned the need to inform and maybe convince everyone involved (school colleagues, parents, students)

school organisation (will the classroom be set up effectively so to support collaboration in class activities?)

all the resources needed from educational technology tools from out of class work as well as in class (quantity, quality, flexibility, maintenance)

training needed for instructors to gain confident in making use of the model/ well planned introduction of students to the model

and a very important challenge could relate to assessment. The instructors need to consider how exactly/ in what particular ways they will notice if their students have understood the topic or whether they progress in general.. in general, adjust their assessment methods on the way the learning is being delivered

# data[].attributes.body
-I think that we have done the flipped classroom before in our school but no one uses this term for it - does not know it.

- it requires a new approach to lesson planning according to the video complicated - I personally think that it is not so difficult:)

-Difficult is ! to find the TIME in your workload for recording an instructional video, for example.

Challenge: Our SS are people with many interests and after school activitties, clubs, trainings. I know that they work nights to study. It can be DEMANDING for them to study at home what is normally studied at school.

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenges to face in my own context in order to implement the flipped classroom with tablets. Students should be aware of their responsibility for their learning . You need a resource bank for this new teaching method or enough time for development before application . Good coordination between the teachers to prioritize the use of tablets for these classes that are using this method. A proper Internet connection at my school does not currently support many devices and the rate of speed is clearly lower than necessary.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school, all teachers don't agree with this new methodologies, they don't want to change and move forward. They are comfortable in their positions, and this is too much work. If we don't change our minds it's difficult to improve.

# data[].attributes.body
My personal main challenges are:

To carry out the "flipped classroom" means having a good internet connection, above all in the classroom.  Now every classroom has a computer with internet connection but the problem is that ofter this internet connection can't well work.

The headmaster must understand the importance of the project and provide new tools (tablets, new computers, good internet connection, ecc...) and the colleagues must understand the project and its importance, too. Thanks colleagues is possible to do connections interdisciplinary.

All students have a internet connection at home; for to do this, it's necessary to be helped by the parents.

The parents have to understand that the tecnology can be used not only for playing but, also, for learning and teaching. If they could comprehend that , the realisation of a flipped classroom could be possible and so the parents should provide their children a good internet connection .

# data[].attributes.body
I think the challenge is to get support from principal, parents and the other teachers at school.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that "flipped classroom" implement the model with tablets giving big possibilities of personalization and challenge in the teaching-learning process, both for teacher and students. Students can access visual, audio, riding Information so they can learn and share with their teacher in their own learning style.It makes it easier for students who may have missed class to keep up because they can watch the videos at any time. Since students can watch most teacher lectures at home and are receiving instruction as homework, they can spend class time working through any gaps or misunderstandings around the content with the teacher acting as "guide on the side."

# data[].attributes.body
First we must bring tablets into the classroom as a learning tool. Then, a compromise may be established as well as a period trial to see how things work. Only then, will they be prepared to flip their way of learning.

Clearly, what is clear in my mind is not necessarily clear in colleagues, family and my students’ minds.

I know the very importan and positive effects of Flipped Classroom... So what issues do my students have with my implementation of the flipped classroom? The biggest challenge for my students is the lack of balance and clear coordination between the in-class activities, outside readings and lectures (the remote delivery of content). I think this confusion results from two distinct causes:

-1º My students unfamiliarity with the flipped classroom technique, demands, and rhythms.

-2º My own failure to emphasize, transmite and to make explicit the connections between the online, outside work and the in-class work. I think my failure is the most grievous, mainly because I can’t correct my students’ lack of experience and resource with the flipped classroom. Here are very importan the family and the school colleague.,
The key is make as posible you can a good relationship with the students, the family and your colleague to change at this POSITIVE and BETTER MODEL LEARNING, trying to change the concept of LEARNING at XXI CENTURY

# data[].attributes.body
The challenges of the flipped classroom in my opinion are: - The student need the internet at home. - The student need a tablet, smartphone or a PC at home. - We have to use the tool that they like more. Some of them prefer Youtube. Obviously, tools which use pictures. In my school, it is not possible to use.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to deal with this methodology, the teacher has to be sure about what it has to be done and the way it will be done. This requires a lot of time in order to prepare the classes. It is important to know how much time we will spend  to do it.

In the same way, pupils have to know in advance how this methodology works and what we expect from them... Moreover, the implementation of this way of working needs that all the students have the necessary resources at home and their parents collaboration.

The main challenges of the implementation of the learning model with tablets are:

That students have internet access at home.

That students have tablets at home.

In flipped classrooms, to get students to be motivated to work and to be willing to watch videos at home.

Implementing it in the classroom, going into detail and debating about it requires smaller student groups .

To take the time to carry out, select and design questionnaires, activities and materials, to edit them and to select the most relevant content.

To be careful with the image and privacy of students if they appear in the video or images taken in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Key challenges

- Internet access, access to a tablet
-Students having the free time – and energy - at home to watch all the lessons for the next day.
-Young students find it difficult to concentrate on a presentation for a long period of time. How do I keep them focused at home, enough time to watch a presentation of me talking about a subject?

- Parents willingness to support such an approach.

- I try not to give out lectures and presentations in class if the subject matter does not require it. I find this method a bit too traditional in the aspect that the lesson is done in a presentation. For example in maths, we start from a simple problem, try to understand how it is solved and why, they try some examples, then I see what they understand and then move on to a more difficult problem. I don’t think I am able to teach a whole lesson without breaking it into smaller parts.

- The teacher has to put a huge amount of personal time to record a presentation of a lesson. I prefer putting my energy in creating a creative lesson that I can apply in class with my students, which I can adapt in class depending on their answers and needs.

- Me. I am not convinced yet that this method will work with my students and my teaching style. I would try it for specific tasks and lessons that are offered for such a method.  For example reading a poem that we are going to talk about the next day.

# data[].attributes.body
In spite of the many benefits of flipping the classrooms, there are also many challenges both for the teacher and the student.

- Lack of digital resources, especially in what concerns the sts. As I’ve stated before, not all my sts have internet access at home and this would seriously limit the st; as for myself, I don’t own what Monica shows in the video, but I could afford it which is not the case for my sts…

- Motivation (better, lack of it) also hinders flipping classrooms even more than the traditional set up! Not all sts are equally motivated to learn and the truth is that if they aren’t, there’s no way they’ll watch the videos and they’ll learn even less…

- In mixed ability classes with many struggling sts, the teacher may not be able to pay enough attention to these sts and can’t be sure faster learners are really focused…

- Again and again: precious time spent in planning and preparation, especially at the beginning. Whenever we introduce changes, all takes longer and it happens for teachers and sts alike. Videos should be short (to make sure they are watched!) and instructions have to be very clear so that sts don’t feel lost and on their own. If motivated and engaged learners may take the most of this shift, demotivated learners may be lost forever, lacking autonomy, responsibility and self-confidence.

- With parents & sts as well as some teachers and headmasters who aren’t keen on changes and just believe in standardized testing, all this has to be well clarified before all, even having an AUP signed.

First of all, students need to be explained how this works, also parents should be aware of how this works. Then, the device to watch the content is very important, as all technical problems should be fixed asap. If these aspects are under control, we should get them to understand the importance of working this way and, step by step, create in them the habit of the process

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think that there are unbreakable challenges. Some students will not what they are supposed to do and asking some questions and exercises will find them out easily. Failing for a few times, they will give up that laziness.

I think that the main problem of this model is the involvement of parents and the time that the teacher has to invest. In my case, I have a lot of lessons and I have to prepare it in my free time.

# data[].attributes.body
I think main problem is that it takes a long time to prepare meaningful materials: to create a 5’ minutes explanation with Explain Everything, maybe it takes a few hours of work. You lose too much time...

The big challenge for this model for me - i think- is the internet issue in general. By the help of this video, i learned a new app called 'Showbie', and for sure i'll try to use it with my students of 11th grades as a start next week. In general today, many people have an access to the internet, but generaly this is just 'mobile'. To create a more openly service of this model, the internet should be more 'accesible' for the students.

The big challenge, for me, is to manage the teaching metods for every type of flipped classroom using tablets.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the key challenges might be:

Ensuring all pupils have access to the content. I would need to spend time with the pupils going over the virtual learning environment, setting expectations, showing them what to do if they have problems with their device etc.

Supporting parents so that they can support their children at home. I would need to spend time sharing information about the process, expectations of the pupils and the benefits of the flipped classroom approach.

Engaging pupils who are unlikely to compelte tasks at home due to a variety of circumstances. Encouraging reluctant learners to complete tasks prior to the lessons.

Organisation and preparation from the teacher to ensure matierals are ready in advance.

I have students of 2nd cycle, 10 and 11 years, how can I ensure that they view the materials that I send them? Maybe if I ask them to solve an exercise or in the next class is made a Quiz ... Maybe in the discussion and sharing of ideas all students can have the same information required.

For me and my class, parents are greatest challenge. I have to prepare them for filliped classroom and I have to get their permission.

Challenges of the Flipped Classroom

The flipped classroom has the advantage of improving the quality of classroom work that can be devoted to the discussion, to the laboratory or to the group work. Furthermore each student can use the right materials to his cognitive style. Finally the idea of Monica is interesting because the students can listen to a lesson once or more depending on their needs . Another idea might be preparing a webquest. I agree that this approach of the work is very exhausting for the teacher especially at the beginning , also for the appropriate methodological and technological updates. Furthermore this approach makes sense if it is shared by other teachers .

# data[].attributes.body
Key challenges:

-getting parents on board

-getting staff on board and training them,not only on the model, but laso on use of technology to create content

-have the right technology to make tutorials

-making sure the student has access to technology at home

-preparation time can be a lot for the teacher

-funding

-monitoring that students do watch the materials posted online and come to class prepared

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with some of you that one big challenge is a lot of work and preparation for the teacher. I tried with Moodle assessing students and uploading videos about tutorials for the lessons and it did really worked since I could get track of students' performance on some quizzes but I found it hard to assess them. I will try some of the apps mentioned in the course such as Showbie, edmodo...

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge is extra work for teacher. But when you make all the preparations and when you enjoy in seeing all students how they develop it's worth-ed.

# data[].attributes.body
The key challenges for my school of flipped classroom are:

-the lack of tablets -school is not equipped with such devices ( I haven't heard either in other schools in my region or in Romania )

- teacher has to do a lot of work to create the content

- the parents support

- the teacher has to understand very well each stage of the flipped classroom model - and create tasks which are relevant for the students learning.

- the money

I'm curious if assessment & evaluation changes in a flipped classroom model.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that is something that had to grow. First of all every pupil should have the possibility to access the materials at home. In my class there is no problem for the moment. Sometimes they had to go to the grandparents to access. This had another benefit, grandparents has time and are interested in what their grandchildren are doing. They are the best way to take the attention of the parents.

Finding or making good videos or texts is not always so easy, teachers has to spend a lot of time in the beginning. In Primary teachers has already lots to do, because they are teaching different  subjects. So it takes time to implement the model.

Homework like watching videos or reading a text instead of learning French or English words and grammar is appreciated by the pupils. Working afterward with a group obliged cooperation of every member in the preparation at home, because the group will not accept profiteers.

Working in the classroom in little groups and having the possibility to discuss, to explore, to gather more information and to choose their own form of presentation is really a nice working method, in which the students can find themselves.

The possibility that the teacher can coach the activities and give direct reflections save a lot of work afterward

# data[].attributes.body
I think that there are several challenges to adopt this approach in the class , as fa as i have experienced. I have only tried as a form of experiemntation, First I created a group in facebook and I uploaded , links or videos lessons to shar with my class. At the beginning the students got enthusiast, but soon afterwards when They realized that they could post at any time what i asked them , and that I could be in touch with them even longer than the usual fixed time of the school timetable, Then Some of them tried to avoid. They critisized this way, beacause they had no connection at home

or because they had sights problems working long in front of the screen.

Because their parents think that they are playing.

Another challenge is that it is necessary to change the colleagues idea of being a teacher, in my school it is largely thought that :

-a teacher should not rely on techonologies,

- that books are better than tablets, or i-phone which divert students attention;

- that the students cannot be abliged to buy tablets and the schoolcannot provide a tablet for everyone;

- that parents even the youngest would not accept and understand the flipped classroom.

In conclusion , I think that this methodologies is fruitful with students who start from the beginning to integrate the use of teablets together with more traditional tools, and finally, teachers are in strong need of training

Tracking the students as they are all working at a different pace.. Also ensuring the students have watched the content at home. If the students lose internet connection at home they will be unable to complete the task.

# data[].attributes.body
I am totally agree with this way of learning, but it has got one very big problem, in my opinion: if the whole group or teacher decides to flip their classes, what amount of work should prepare our students at home? I think this is the biggest challenge for the implementation of this way of learning in our schools.

It has got lots of advantages, but this could be a very big disadvantage: the lack or time at home working for the school, and... What's up with their time to play and read and... get bored.

And of course:

1- Access to the internet at home and schools. And speed for up and download documents.

2- Parents involvement.

3- Teachers involvement.

4- We are giving some ideas of the access of our students to the internet and its world of apps. Is that for real?

5 - How will this change our way of evaluating?

6- How to share information.

7- Digital spur of our students since they are very young. How do we (parents, schools...) control all this new situations?

TO BE CONTINUE... Start doing something and forget the problems. Be proactive and be ready for a new world of new limits... that will never end. The same way you have to learn new things, you must dislearn or forget some things you have always thought would never change.

I think the most important challenge I find using the flipped classroom with my students is the lack of time at home to work things out. My studetns assist to a bilingual school and they are there from 8 am to 5 pm every day of the week so it is really hard for them to do extra work at home. What is more, we are asked to send few activities to solve at home as students don't have enough time.

Apart from that, the flipped classrom requires teeachers to have acquired specific skills and knowledge in order to prepare videos and materials for the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Since this is a new method 1) parents have to share the benefits of the system 2) allow the child watches in the statement of viewing, and the teacher would give him immediate feedback This will encourage him to continue

# data[].attributes.body
For me the biggest challenges are :
Pupil access to computers at home. Not all my pupils have computers at home and reliable broadband can be a problem for some.
Getting the cooperation of all parents could be an issue.
The time it would take for the teacher to prepare the videos would be considerable.

# data[].attributes.body
The key factors to enhance the model within classrooms are:

- students must be able to access the learning material from home.

- parents should partecipate to this learning approach, in order to let students be more proactive and courios.

- teacher should be prepared before giving lessons .

- follow step by step students during the process, in order to ensure that pupils are increasingly improving.

# data[].attributes.body
The big challenge, in my point of view, is starting the method. It is not easy for students to face internet or personal tablets as work objects. In my country there is still a small number of students who don't have a computer. Other problem is the connection to the internet out of school (and in school also): as the videos are stored in clouds, making the download of a 10 minute video may be a slow process when the connection is poor.

Time is a challenge: it takes really a lot of time to prepare quality videos.

# data[].attributes.body
The challenges I expect to face when implementing a flipped classroom include children's' home lives. As home can be a stresful environment for some children they may not be able to concentrate or even have access to a device. Supportive people at home are key to helping with flipped learning and not every pupil is fortunate enough to have such support. This could effect their morale of the class if not every pupil has completed the task and they require the attention of the teacher and it will disadvatage the individual as they will begin to fall behind.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not always sure what to flip?

Creating a meaningful series of videos takes time to develop. I realize that once it is done that the videos are tools that will be well worth the invested time.

This is a bit of a package deal; once you create the videos you need to think about how you will store, present and archive them in ways that makes the most sense and engages your students.

# data[].attributes.body
The challenges for me are:

Students access to internet;

Teachers time to produce materials (teachers are using their family time, their "personal studios" for that.... teachers are overloaded with work at school!!)

# data[].attributes.body
I think that is not good that we all recording our video,… I think that is a waste of time. And quality can be questionable. It will be good that teachers and students can take a video from some video Database. Especially when student are not in school. Video is a good way of transferring knowledge.
I do not think that is "flipped classroom’" revolucionar method for future and for the creativity of our students. That is a kind of homework. And I will use it sometimes. Sometimes projects,…

# data[].attributes.body
For me the key challenges would be in the first place:

- to have a good internet connection.

in the second place:

- to have a very good knowledge of the apps and tools.

In the third place:

- To plan a good lesson.

I believe that flipping the classroom requires the following main challenges:

- teachers have to believe strongly in the new model

- schools have to provide computers and tablets if possible

- students and parents have to be involved

- the lesson plan has to forecast every single step

- learning materials have to be adequate to students' level and needs

I think that the main challenges are:

- students involved and working;

- Getting the parents involved;

- Good lesson plans;

- Having time to prepare the lessons,
