The document discusses the flipped classroom model of education. It defines the flipped classroom as inverting traditional classroom activities so that lectures are viewed at home via online videos and homework is completed in class with teacher guidance. The author then describes implementing a flipped classroom approach in their intensive Latin course. Key aspects included creating instructional and modeling videos for students to watch outside of class, using QR codes to provide links for in-class and out-of-home activities, creating fillable PDF homework assignments, and vocabulary PowerPoints. Student surveys found the flipped approach helped learning and provided sufficient practice opportunities. Suggestions for enhancement focused on maintaining the model.

inversion of the events that happened inside
the classroom so that they take place outside
the classroom and vice versa.

“We define the flipped classroom as an
educational technique that consists of
two parts: interactive group learning
activities inside the classroom, and
direct computer-based individual
instruction outside the classroom” (5).

STUDENT PERCEIVED PERFORMANCE OR

12. MY 'FLIPPED' LATIN CLASSROOM
• 15-week intensive Latin
course
• 22 students (10m/12f)
• Average GPA (self-
reported): 3.394

13. MY 'FLIPPED' LATIN CLASSROOM

14. FOUR TECHNOLOGIES I USED
1. Online Videos
2. QR Codes
3. Fillable .pdf homework
4. Vocabulary PowerPoints

15. ONLINE VIDEOS
• 2 different types
• Instructional
• Modeling
• Length: 5-7 minutes
• Accessible 24/7 via YouTube
and Class website

16. QR CODES
• "Quick Response Codes"
• 2 different uses
• In-Class
• Out-of-Class

17. QR CODES:
IN-CLASS
• Used to provide links to answers.
• Encouraged cooperation and
independent learning in learner
groups

19. QR CODES:
OUT-OF-CLASS
• Used to provide links to Online
Modeling Videos.
• Encouraged independent
learning outside of class
• Provide scaffolding outside of
class

20. FILLABLE .PDF
HOMEWORKS
• Homeworks posted to class website in
advance as fillable .pdfs
• Learners allowed either to print and
turn in during class or to email
completed .pdf to instructor
• Instructor annotated .pdfs and emailed
them back to learners

21. FILLABLE .PDF
HOMEWORKS
• Benefits:
• Creation of a digital archive of all
students' work
• Higher percentage of homework
completion
• Drawbacks:
• Increased time to create homeworks
• Increased time to grade homeworks

22. VOCABULARY
POWERPOINTS
• PowerPoints created to go through
vocabulary with learners in class
• Small number of words (5-7 words)
presented each class
• Collaborative activities and translations
focus on the vocabulary words for each
class
• PowerPoints posted online

23. VOCABULARY
POWERPOINTS
• Benefits:
• Allows for a connection to be made
between the L2 word and the
semantic concept, not with a L1 word
• Using images that evoke strong
emotions or are relevant to learners
are best
• Online access to PowerPoints allows
for independent review

Nothing, I think you're doing an awesome job teaching this
class, and I couldn't see it getting any better.
I am doing well. I enjoy class and think you are doing a very
good job teaching me Latin. Spending time reviewing the
material at home is critical for success.
