Intro to Flipped Classroom • Sal Khan – TedEd Talk regarding Khan Academy • Flipped Learning.org – several teachers attempt to define “flipped learning”
Pacing in the Flipped Classroom • Traditional Flip • All students are on the same content at the same time – for example – watching the same video for homework every night.. • Flipped Mastery • Students are allowed to move through the content at their own pace with certain deadlines for tests/units, etc.

Flipping in the high school (YHS) • Chemistry, Advanced Placement (AP) • Videos as homework • Students filled in notes • Completed Google forms Responses • Allowed for hands-on, collaborative learning in class
Flipped Learning in YCS • Kindergarten – math / language arts • Fifth grade – social studies • YMS – science & math classes • YHS – chemistry, AP chemistry, AP biology, AP statistics, Spanish II, III & IV, Economics, ICP (portions), Anatomy & physiology (portions)
Things teachers like about flipping • Students engage with lecture more without distraction from their peers • Takes away boredom in class and frees up time for other activities • No more “stand and deliver” – quickly discuss topic/video and students move onto lab or activity • Class time is devoted to students applying knowledge and correcting student misunderstandings
Things teachers like about flipping cont’d • Puts ownership for learning with students • Allows for more opportunities to work with struggling learners in the classroom • Allows for more face to face time with students to ask questions and check for understanding • Students helping other students – cooperative learning
Dislikes about the flipped classroom • Takes a lot of time to set up a good flipped classroom • Students who you know are not watching the videos or who are not 100% focused when they are not monitored • Students who never adjust to the videos or who have limited internet access at home • None
