This document summarizes an Erasmus+ project called "Let's flip together" that involved 16 teachers from 8 European countries implementing flipped learning in their classrooms. The project had objectives of promoting authentic communication, peer learning from diverse backgrounds, technology use, engagement, collaboration, content creation and sharing resources. Teachers used an online twinspace to research flipped learning techniques, experiment with different materials, and publish collaborative e-books outlining their experiences. Students interacted online and worked on a module about food. The project resulted in positive student outcomes and the teachers achieving their goals of flipping instruction.

15. …..so
“ Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to
your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious
class-time for what previously, often, was done in
homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups,
researching, collaborating, crafting and creating.
Classrooms become laboratories or studios, and yet content
delivery is preserved”
