Flipping the Classroom
“Flipping a boring lecture from
the classroom to the screen of
a mobile device [is] the same
dehumanizing chatter, just
wrapped up in fancy clothing.”
Flipping the Classroom
“I'll be honest. I get very nervous
when I hear education reformists
and politicians tout how "incredible"
the flipped classroom model, or how
it will "solve" many of the problems
of education.
It doesn't solve anything.”
Flipping the Classroom
The Flipped Classroom and Blended Learning is NOT:
•
•
•
•
•

An online course.
A synonym for online videos.
About replacing teachers with videos.
Students working without structure.
Students spending the entire class staring at a
computer screen.
• Students working in isolation.
Flipping the Classroom
The Flipped Classroom IS:
• A class where all students are engaged in
their learning.

One reason that the flipped classroom, and more specifically, flipped learning are growing, is because
groups of educators are working together to reflect and improve on the model.
Flippedclassroom.org: Join close to 15,000 educators having conversations about flipped learning. There is
a group for every conceivable type of educator. We have groups for primary teachers, math teachers,
college professors, english teachers and administrators, just to name a few. If the group you are looking for
isn’t there, start it.
Flippedlearning.org: The nonprofit organization Aaron Sams and I started in 2012 to help teach educators
how to flip their classes.
#flipclass chat on Twitter. One of the most dynamic groups of educators on twitter is the #flipclass chat
group. Follow the hashtag #flipclass and learn from an amazing community of educators. And every
Monday night from 8pm-9pm Eastern time join in on a moderated chat time.
Blogs
There are many excellent blogs about the flipped classroom. Here are a few that I read on a regular basis.
Flipped Learning Journal: A great group of flipped class educators who are working together to flip. The call
this Co-Flip. The idea is to find other teachers to flip with who may be in a different state. They have
excellent blog posts and topics.
jonbergmann.com: I hope my blog continues to help and inspire you.
Flipping with Kirch: Crystal Kirch is one of the most reflective educators I know. Very thoughtful about her
practice. She is a high school math teacher in California.
My Flipped Classroom: The blog of 5th grade teacher Delia Bush. She has great thoughts on her
transformation to flipped learning
