2. What if
• You could give each student the
individual attention they need?
• Your students could have you repeat
yourself as many times as they need
to- without you having to repeat
anything?
• You have real time results on how
your students are doing at any given
time?
• You could get your students to fully
participate in and be responsible for
their own learning?

3. What is this wizardry?

4. It’s Flipped Learning!
Traditional Face to Face Class
room Flipped Classroom
• Lecture takes place outside of class
time
• Students do work during class time
• All of the class time can be devoted to
discussion, projects, or exercises.
• The teacher is a coach and advisor
• Lecture takes place during class
time
• Students do homework outside of
class time
• There is very little time to have
discussion, projects, or exercises in
class
• The teacher is the “sage on the
stage

5. What are the downsides of the
flipped model?
• Flipping requires a lot of preparation
• Students sometimes resist taking control of their
own learning
• There may not be the kind of tech support needed
to fully support a flipped model
• The instructor may need to learn new skills
• Students may resist doing the lecture portion at

6. What are the upsides of a flipped model?
• The flipped model allows for individualized learning. Students who already
understand the concept can move on, students who need more help can watch
the lecture and practice as many times as they need to.
• The teachers can really focus on individual students and groups rather than
spend their time lecturing
• It’s a lot of work for the teacher on the front end, but once the course is set up
and the students know what to expect, the teacher does not have to do a lot of
prep work
• It is easy to add real time check ins via quizzes and other work to be sure the
students understand the concepts
• Students take ownership of their own learning, which is powerful experience for
them
• Students go from passively listening to an instructor to being an active learner
