Target instruction to address the source of their errors or confusion.

Engage learners in higher-level thinking (discussions of what-if scenarios, problem solving, analyzing a topic, summarizing key ideas.

Assess student understanding of the most essential points of the topic.

Challenge students with more rigorous examples, problems or tasks.

Help students who need it with assistance and more practice.

Don’t show the video outside of class and then inside class. That defeats the purpose of flipped learning and it wastes valuable instructional time.

# data[].attributes.body
If students don’t have to demonstrate that they’ve watched the video, they won’t. Have them take notes and turn in notes for credit. Use formative assessment tools like a google form or even flocabulary that matached the concept. Give surprise quick quizzes.

# data[].attributes.body
Choose videos that are short and sweet! Anything longer than 10 minutes and your students will stop watching. Find 1 - 3 videos that really match your concept.

Not sure where to begin “flipping”?  Choose a topic your students struggle with. Show a video that explains this concept and then use class time to answer their questions, have them teach each other, or tutor small groups of students.

The educator in the flipped classroom is more demanding in a flipped classroom, than in a traditional classroom.  The PROFESSIONAL EDUCATOR in the flipped classroom setting are the ones that are continually observing, providing feedback, and assessing their work continuously. A traditional classroom teacher is always reflecting, but a flipped classroom professional educator kind of take all of the pressures of a traditional classroom but remain the essential ingredient in the classroom.

With anything there are pros and cons.  The first drawback of a Flipped Classroom is that is may cause a divide.  For many of the flipped classrooms out there -- the content is usually provided before class so some students might view it at home or on their own time.  Or even within the class, but if the student does not have the  access to the technology, a computer, internet access, or anything that the student can not access the content, it's going to cause a tension for the those students who access it at home versus those who do not have access to it outside of class.

It relies on preparation and trust. A Flipped Classroom is where the teacher has to prepare a lot for the activities within the classroom as well as the classroom that is in the digital sense.  However, since the students have the most control of their learning it requires a lot of trust between the students and the teacher, because the students have to listen, watch, and sometimes rewatch a few times in order to understand a concept.  It's up to that student oblige to their end of the deal.

More screen time instead of people time. There are some who believe that if every teacher starts flipping their classrooms, students will spend hours in front of a computer watching the lectures. One may argue that this has the potential to cause serious problems to student’s learning processes, as not everyone may be as adept to learning through a computer.

Another benefit of a flipped classroom is developing a LEARNING CULTURE.  That just means that the in the traditional classroom the teacher is front and center in the classroom and that the teacher is primary source of information. The Flipped Classroom flips that teacher centered learning, that means that the emphasizes is of the learner-centered model.  The students dictate their learning and explore the topics in greater depth, and the students often feel very involved in their learning which provides a deeper meaning to the students.

# data[].attributes.body
Flipped Classroom or Flipped Learning as some call is a 21st century approach to teaching.  By definition Flipped Learning is "Flipped Learning is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students
as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter."
This can be done in the k-12 classroom and most commonly seen in the collegiate classroom.

To counter common misconceptions and bring clarity to discussions about "Flipped Learning," the governing board and key leaders of the Flipped Learning Network (FLN) announced a formal definition of the term. They also released the Four Pillars of F-L-I-P™ and a checklist of eleven indicators that educators must incorporate into their practice. The group of experienced flipped educators also draws a distinction between Flipped Learning and a Flipped Classroom.

While often defined simplistically as "school work at home and home work at school," Flipped Learning
is an approach that allows teachers to implement a methodology, or various methodologies, in their
classrooms.

To counter some of the misconceptions about this term, the governing board and key leaders of the Flipped Learning Network (FLN), all experienced Flipped Educators, have composed a formal definition of "Flipped Learning." Explicitly defining the term may dispel some of the myths repeatedly promulgated by teachers, the media, and researchers.

These Flipped Learning leaders also distinguish between a Flipped Classroom and Flipped Learning. These terms are not interchangeable. Flipping a class can, but does not necessarily, lead to Flipped Learning. Many teachers may already flip their classes by having students read text outside of class, watch supplemental videos, or solve additional problems, but to engage in Flipped Learning, teachers must incorporate the following four pillars into their practice.

The Four Pillars of F-L-I-P™ and the definition were written by the FLN's board members: Aaron Sams, Jon Bergmann, Kristin Daniels, Brian Bennett, Helaine W. Marshall, Ph.D., and Kari M. Arfstrom, Ph.D., executive director, with additional support from experienced Flipped Educators.

INTENTIONAL CONTENT Teachers who flip their classroom are continually thinking about how they can use their flipped learning models to help students build conceptual understanding. This happens because the students (as stated earlier) are essentially in charge of their learning, they know when they haven't made. The educators are the one providing the content in such a that it allows students to explore on their own, which allows the teacher to be the one that is being able to roam around the room and correct anything that needs to be be corrected. Which allows for more intentional content being delivered to the students and the teacher may be able to be more readily available to work with students one on one or in small group.

Some of the benefits of a flipped classroom are a FLEXIBLE ENVIRONMENT.  What does that mean?  Well a flexible environment is exactly what it means.  That the environment around the classroom will be tailored to the needs of the students.  This means that the teacher (or professor) has already done the planning and teaching and has put it on a platform that the students can access.
Teachers will physically rearrange the way that they teach in order to accommodate needs of a lesson. This offers more time for group work, or independent study of concepts that the individual student may struggle with. Usually the educators that "flip their classroom" are very flexible with their timelines and will facilitate the needs of student learning.

Different Ideas for Flipping Your Classroom

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Share lectures with video before class, and dedicate class time to activity and discussion. At first, the flipped classroom sounds fairly straightforward.

Looking closer, however, it soon becomes clear that from this basic premise springs many unique and interesting forms.

We are highlighting 16 examples of flipped classrooms in action, teaching students ranging from elementary scholars to doctoral candidates. Most surprising in all those examples? The sheer amount of variety - everything from teaching styles, information resources, student interaction, and more is tailored to the needs of the coursework.

Flipped Classroom Examples

Many of the examples illustrate unique models of how a teacher can invert their class. Is one of those flipped concepts right for your classroom? Let's take a look at each:

1. The Standard Inverted Classroom

Students are assigned the "homework" of watching video lectures and reading any materials relevant to the next day's class. During class time, students practice what they've learned through traditional schoolwork, with their teachers freed up for additional one-on-one time.

2. The Discussion-Oriented Flipped Classroom

Teachers assign lecture videos, as well as any other video or reading related to the day's subject - think TED Talks, YouTube videos, and other resources. Class time is then devoted to discussion and exploration of the subject. This can be an especially useful approach in subjects where context is everything such as history, art, or English.

3. The Demonstration-Focused Flipped Classroom

Especially for those subjects that require students to remember and repeat activities exactly - think chemistry, physics, and just about every math class - it is most helpful to have a video demonstration to be able to rewind and re-watch. In this model, the teacher uses screen recording software to demonstrate the activity in a way that allows students to follow along at their own pace.

4. The Faux-Flipped Classroom

The faux-flipped classroom is perfect for younger students for whom actual homework might not yet be appropriate. This flipped classroom model instead has those students watch lecture video in class - giving them the opportunity to review materials at their own pace, with the teacher able to move from student to student to offer whatever individual support each young learner needs.

5. The Group-Based Flipped Classroom

This model adds a new element to help students learn - each other. The class starts the same way others do, with lecture videos and other resources shared before class. The shift happens when students come to class, teaming up to work together on that day's assignment. This format encourages students to learn from one another and helps students to not only learn the what the right answers are but also how to actually explain to a peer why those answers are right.

6. The Virtual Flipped Classroom

For older students and in some courses, the flipped classroom can eliminate the need for classroom time at all. Some college and university professors now share lecture videos for student viewing, assign and collect work via online learning management systems, and simply require students to attend office hours or other regularly scheduled time for brief one-on-one instruction based on that individual student's needs.

7. Flipping The Teacher

All the video created for a flipped classroom doesn't have to begin and end with the teacher. Students too can make use of video to better demonstrate proficiency. Assign students to their record practice role-play activities to show competency, or ask each to film themselves presenting a new subject or skill as a means to "teach the teacher".

Keep in mind that every classroom is different, with different levels of access to technology, different levels of motivation on the part of the students, and different technological know-how on the part of the instructors. In addition, teachers must re-learn how to act as the "guide on the side" rather than the "sage on the stage"-and that takes time.

However, whenever the shift does occur, many experts believe the benefits of the flipped classroom are well worth the effort. According to LearnDash, 9 out of 10 teachers noticed a positive change in student engagement since flipping their classroom (up 80% from 2012), while 71% of teachers indicated that grades of their students have improved since implementing a flipped classroom strategy.

The Practical Guide to Flipping Your Classroom

Take a deeper look into the flipped classroom evolution, including the foundational strategy and early results that have so many teachers excited, in our white paper, The Practical Guide to Flipping Your Classroom.

In it, we discuss the five most important flipped classroom technologies schools should consider when researching or implementing the inverted classroom, including:

How to make videos easily available, consistently and securely

How to enable teachers to record video in any location

Ensuring instructors can record anything, no matter how complex

Ensuring students can watch videos anytime, anywhere, on any device

Ensuring students can find any topic in any video when needed
