The document provides an overview of a training on flipping the classroom. It defines flipping the classroom as assigning instructional videos for homework and using class time for interactive activities and application of the material. The training objectives are to understand the advantages and potential drawbacks of flipping the classroom and to experiment with it. Advantages include students learning at their own pace and having more opportunities for engagement and collaboration during class. Potential drawbacks include students not watching videos and teachers spending time creating videos. The document shares results of a student survey that found mixed opinions and provides guidance on how to flip a classroom, including creating instructional videos and using learning management systems.

Classroom
• Changing role of teacher: sage-on-stage  guide-on-side
• Students must take responsibility for own learning
• At home: learning at own pace; can pause, rewind, and rewatch video lessons at any time
• In class: learning through interactive, hands-on application
activities and real-world problem solving; more student
engagement; active, student-centered learning; opportunity
for students to ask questions; more student collaboration;
more effective use of class time
• Videos available for students who miss class
• Research has shown that…
• Students prefer the flipped classroom
• The flipped classroom is as effective, if not more, than the
traditional classroom

6. Potential Drawbacks of Flipping
the Classroom
• Students may not watch videos at home and be unprepared
for in-class activities
• Time-consuming for teachers to find and/or create videos
• Cannot provide in-the-moment clarification or answer
questions
• Cannot monitor comprehension of lesson during instruction
• Not all students have technology available at home

7. Student Impressions
• Flipped/Mastery Educational Model: Student Impressions

8. Results of Student Survey
• Do you like “flipping the classroom” for your math lessons?
Why or why not?
• “I do like flipping the classroom because I find it easier to get my
work done by doing it in school. That way, I can ask questions if I
get stuck on a problem.”
• “Yes because I get to go at my own speed and can rewind
something if I don't get something and you can help my with
problems if I need in help in class.”
• “Yes, It's nice to be able to stop the lesson and think and then ask
questions later”
• “I do not like flipping the classroom because i cant ask a
computer questions (I have tried) it didn't work”

9. Results of Student Survey
• What do you like about flipping the classroom?
• “I like how it's easy to take notes at home. It's quick and if you
have a question, you can just ask the teacher tomorrow. Also,
when doing the work in class, you can ask questions as you go
through the problems.”
• “I like that I can rewind if I don't get something and you can help
me with problems in class.”
• “I think it is easier to do because if the homework is hard, we are
doing it in school so we can ask you”

10. Results of Student Survey
• What do you dislike about flipping the classroom?
• “I don't like how when learning the lesson, if you are unsure
about what is being said, you have to wait to ask your questions
until the next day. This causes a lot of unwanted confusion.”
• “I dislike that if I really don't get a lesson it's hard for you to
explain by video if I don't get one specific thing.”
• “Not being able to ask questions”

11. Results of Student Survey
• Would you want to flip the classroom for the rest of the year?
Why or why not?
• “I would want to flip the classroom for the rest of the year
because its easier. Like I said earlier, getting work done in class is
better because you can ask question as you go through the
problems. Also, taking notes is quicker when watching the video
than doing it in class.”
• “Yes I would because I feel it helps me more and is more
efficient.”
• “Yes, I think the pros are better then the cons”
• “i would not want to flip the class room for the rest of the year
because i cant ask questions to a computer”

12. HOW do I flip my classroom?
1. Create video lesson (Make it short! About 3-5 minutes)
2. Assign video for homework
• Optional: Assign fill-in notes for students to complete while
watching video lesson
• Optional: Require students to complete brief quiz/questionnaire
related to concepts taught in video lesson
• Optional: Require students to write blog response related to
video lesson
3. Allow first 5 minutes of class for clarification questions
4. Engage students in interactive application activities related
to concepts taught in video lesson
5. Repeat!
