2. What is a flipped classroom?
• An inverted
teaching model
that delivers
instruction at home
through interactive,
teacher created
videos.
• "Homework" tasks
move to the
classroom
3. Why flip my classroom?
• Teaching was getting stale, I needed something new and challenging
• Students learning at different paces
• Important information not being digested even though students present
in class
• Students absent (sport, performances, sickness)
• Students not completing homework (a constant battle I have always had
teaching physical education)
• Extra time spent re-explaining concepts to students who don't
understand
4. What convinced me
to flip my classroom?
• Flip Your Classroom: Reach
Every Student in Every Class
Everyday - Jonathan Bergmann
and Aaron Sams
• Crystal Kirch:

• Khan Academy
• Apple iPads!!!
5. What my flipped learning looks like across the
week
• Creation of 4-10 minute
screencasts every week,
uploaded to YouTube for
students to access
• Interaction with students
via Facebook on a daily
basis
• Planning of practical
tasks for EVERY lesson
7. What my "theory"
lessons look like now
• 0-5 minutes: students straight into
small group discussions about the
latest video
• 5-15 minutes: each group poses a
question (based on the video
content) to the remainder of the
class that attempt to answer it
• 15-30 minutes: teacher designed
focus questions
• 30-60 minutes: practical based
activities (usually outside the
classroom) allowing students to
apply concepts to real world
situations
8. Challenges of the
flipped classroom
• Student buy in
• Student access to technology
• Your own confidence around
using ICT
• Time to create resources
• Ensuring students engage with
the learning style and digest the
information / videos / content
you provide them with
9. Ensuring student
engagement with videos
• Don't start flipping without full
student understanding and buy
in
• Teaching students how to
watch videos properly
• WSQ sheets to complete while
watching the video at home
(watch, summarise, question)
• Tracking WSQ sheet completion
10. Summarising flipped learning
• Not a solution to the worlds problems
• My classrooms are far from stress free
• Students digest teacher created content from home at their
own pace
• Concept engagement takes place in the classroom, with the
support of peers and teacher
• Every student is thinking, writing, interacting, reading,
listening, and speaking - EVERYDAY!!!!
