A flipped lesson is where students watch an online lesson for homework to learn basics of the next day's topic. In class, teachers work with students on practice problems to reinforce concepts. This allows students to ask questions as they learn and teachers to provide individual guidance. The idea originated from teachers who recorded lessons for absent students but found recorded lessons helpful for all students. Some parents complained students should learn at school, but others praised the individual attention students received in class.

2. What is a Flipped Lesson?
• Students watch an
online lesson for
homework to learn the
basics of tomorrow’s
topic
• Teachers work with
students on practice
problems/prompts/topics
during class time

3. Why a Flipped Lesson?
• Students can ask
questions as they
happen, rather than
thinking of them at
home and waiting until
the next day
• Teachers can be a
“guide-by-their-side” for
students as they • Changes up the
practice concepts
monotony of the day-
to-day routine

4. Where did the idea come
from?
• Two Colorado
Chemistry teachers
wanted to tape and
post lessons on line
for absent students to
view
– Found that even
students who missed
class were using the
lessons to review or
reinforce

5. How will it go over?
• When tried in my
classroom, I had some
angry parents and
complaints
– “[Student] can’t ask
questions during the
lesson.”
– “But we send them to
school so you can teach
them there.”
• Other parents and students raved about
it, and loved the in class attention to
individual help for students
