A Quick History Lesson (according to Wikipedia) Some of the earliest work in this field was done by Eric Mazur at Harvard, who developed Peer Instruction in the 1990s. Professor Mazur found that computer aided instruction allowed him to coach instead of lecture, he wrote….. "As a result, my teaching assistants and I can address several common misconceptions that would otherwise go undetected."[9] He concludes, "I believe that we are just seeing the beginning of the process and the computer will soon become an integral part of education. Computers will not replace teachers, but they will certainly provide them with an important dynamic tool for improving the quality of education." Flipped Classrooms
A Quick History Lesson (according to Wikipedia) J. Wesley Baker presented the paper "The classroom flip: using web course management tools to become the guide by the side" in 2000 at the 11th International conference on College Teaching and Learning. It has been quoted many, many times since, with the catch phrase "become the guide on the side" instead of the "sage on the stage" – the mantra of the classroom flipping movement. Baker presents the model of classroom flipping where teachers use online web tools and web course management programs to present instruction online as the student "homework" assignment. In class, then, teachers have time to move more in-depth with active learning activities and collaborative efforts with other students. Flipped Classrooms
A Quick History Lesson (according to Wikipedia) In 2004, Salman Khan began to record videos at the request of a younger cousin who felt that if the lessons were recorded she could skip through parts she had mastered, yet replay other parts that were troubling her to learn. Khan’s model is to essentially provide tutoring on a one-to-one basis. Recently, Khan Academy videos have been used by some educators as part of their flipped teaching strategy Flipped Classrooms
A Quick History Lesson (according to Wikipedia) Jeremy Strayer's doctoral dissertation "The effects of the classroom flip on the learning environment: a comparison of learning activity in a traditional classroom and flip classroom that used an intelligent tutoring system" in 2007 considered the flipped or inverted classroom in the university setting. The author taught Statistics and Pre-Calculus courses in which he videotaped himself giving introductory lessons that he then assigned for homework. Students then did engaging project work in class, and the courses involved use of in-class activities as well as Blackboard interactive technology. The author believed that students would control when they watched the video, thus they would be most likely to be alert and able to take in new information. Flipped Classrooms
A Quick History Lesson (according to Wikipedia) Woodland Park High School chemistry teachers Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams are driving forces in flip teaching in secondary education since 2007. Bergmann believes that the biggest impact of flip teaching in his classroom is to increase human contact Flipped Classrooms
It’s setting an specific learning goal, providing the resources, including feedback, outside of the classroom.....incorporating support, communication and accountability. This becomes the foundation for a well planned deeper classroom investigation, application and/or practice. These learning goals can be based on a concept, a skill or just an introduction regarding the existence of topic....a teaser. John Venner Flipped Classrooms The flip is more about what the classroom environment is transformed into. For me, it’s a project based, student led environment, in which my role allows for students to select topics, products, and ask deeper questions, often through collaboration or tapping into experts through research. The “flip” provides the content knowledge needed for students to participate in class. Chad Evans

Reflection If, like me [Ramsey Musallam ], you are interested in using aspects of the flipped classroom to address an issue in your practice, I encourage you to reflect on the following steps first: Step 1: Identify your current or desired teaching style. Step 2: Ask yourself this question: Given my style, do I currently use class time to teach any low level, procedural, algorithmic concepts? Step 3: If yes, begin by creating opportunities for students to obtain this information outside of the classroom. (more) Step 4: Include a system that encourages reflection and synthesis of homework-based instruction (Click here and here for ways to make instructional videos more interactive and reflective).
