Take the instruction & content out of class time
Present instructional videos beforehand
The flipped classroom describes a reversal of traditional teaching where students gain first exposure to new material outside of class, usually via reading or lecture videos, and then class time is used to do the harder work of assimilating that knowledge through strategies such as problem-solving, discussion or debates. (Vanderbilt University, Center for Teaching).verts traditional teaching methods, delivery instruction online outside of class.

Videos have to be customised for your student needs – active learning. Videos are an extension of the teacher and created by them (not like the Khan Academy). Backbone of the flipped classroom, but it’s the flexibility the videos provide that’s the main benefit. They allow teachers more time to develop extension activities in class to enrich the student experience.
Replacement for teachers - Role of teacher more important than ever. Teacher active all the time. Work with every student, every class.
Easy. Hard to break old paradigms and cultural differences in educational models.
Teacher holiday. Constantly interacting, inspiring, encouraging with their students. Time to create materials.
Replacing homework with videos. It’s about students using videos when and where appropriate for their learning journey. However it might minimise homework as they will us their classroom time more effectively.
The silver bullet. Does not solve all that is broken in education. Just one tool to increase student learning. Inflexibility, lack of classroom time and student-centered classrooms are all problems that the flipped classroom helps solve.
One size fits all teaching approach. You develop a flipped classroom that works for you and your students. Some teachers get their students to watch videos in class but it can also e at home or anywhere else. We also get the students to create the videos themselves.
