This document discusses the flipped classroom model of instruction developed by Aaron Sams and Jon Bergmann. It summarizes that the flipped classroom transfers ownership of learning to students, personalizes learning, and allows teachers more time for deeper learning activities. Teachers are advised to start slowly by flipping just one lesson or concept at a time. The document also promotes the use of collaborative websites like Edmodo for posting assignments, discussions, quizzes and connecting students globally. It provides an overview of how to set up an Edmodo teacher account and student group.

Flipping the Classroom Video Overview
Teaching for Tomorrow

3. • Transfers the ownership of learning to the students
• Personalizes learning for all students
• Gives teachers time to explore deeper learning
opportunities and pedagogies with their students
(Project Based Learning, etc)
• Makes learning (not teaching) the center of the
classroom.
• Maximizes the face to face time in the classroom

4.  Think of the flipped class as another technique
in your arsenal
 Don’t flip a class – first flip a lesson.
 Start with a lesson student’s struggle with and
make a video. What do I constantly have to
repeat?
 Keep the videos short. 1-2 min per grade level
 Make it a center in your classroom
 Do one video a week or choose one concept to
flip
