Flipped Learning
What is the best use of students’
class time?
“It was there that I first witnessed the processes of analytical and inductive teaching...
It stimulates students to that democratic give-and-take which he must meet in real life.”

ED TECH
Through the Ages...
Thomas Edison (1922)
The MOTION PICTURE is destined to revolutionize our educational system and will supplant textbooks, [obtaining] 100% efficiency.
The PORTABLE RADIO RECEIVER will be as common in the classroom as the blackboard… TEXTBOOKS OF THE AIR!
William Levensen (1945)
There won’t be schools in the future...
The COMPUTER will BLOW UP THE SCHOOL.
Seymour Papert (1985)
Revolutionary technologies DO NOT guarantee revolutionary advances in education.
Despite
Ed Tech’s Rapid Evolution...
Reliance on teacher- centered instruction persists.
Students: DO NOT TOUCH!

Flipped Learning's Guided Principles
“Flipped Learning is not about flipping the 'when and where' instruction is delivered…it's about flipping the attention away from the teacher and toward the learner.”
Jon Bergmann & Aaron Sams, Co-Authors of "Flip Your Classroom: Reach Every in Every Class Every Day"
Intentional Content
Direct instruction (ex. lecture) is evaluated and, if considered an effective learning tool,
shifted online
via video.
I DON’T ALWAYS USE DIRECT INSTRUCTION
BUT WHEN I DO, IT’S WHEN STUDENTS NEED IT MOST.
Intentional Content
Other tools (ex. games and simulations) are thoughtfully curated and leveraged to maximize learning.
Intentional Content
Carefully consider the value of each video.
Not everything is best taught via lecture.
Intentional Content
Using other educators’ videos can be useful, but...
Intentional Content
CREATING YOUR OWN builds a more
trusting and
meaningful
learning
relationship
with students.
Professional Educators
Reflective in their practice
Collaborate to improve their craft
Welcome constructive criticism
Accept controlled classroom chaos
Join a community of CONNECTED & REFLECTIVE educators.
Professional Educators
“In the Flipped Learning model, skilled, professional educators are more important than ever.”

We need to move
away from

STUDENT USE of technology to collaborate, create, and
solve problems in real-world
contexts.
