The document defines the flipped classroom model as one where traditional lecture content is delivered at home via video and class time is used for applied learning activities. It explores how this changes the instructional landscape by making the home the lecture space and class the collaboration/problem solving space. Potential benefits discussed include allowing students to work at their own pace and enabling teachers to spend more one-on-one time with students, though concerns about the digital divide and lack of interaction are also raised. The document provides resources for implementing flipped learning and encourages teachers to reflect on how it could enhance their lessons.

2. What Is a Flipped Classroom?

3. In this session, we will
• Define "the flipped classroom."
• Explore how this concept changes the
instructional landscape.
• Reflect on ways that "flipping" can enable
student success.

4. Some Definitions
• The flipped classroom changes the place in
which content is delivered (Valenza, 2012).
• Basically the concept of a flipped class is this:
that which is traditionally done in class is now
done at home, and that which is traditionally
done as homework is now completed in class.
But as you will see, there is more to a flipped
classroom than this (Bergmann & Sams,
2012).

6. The Changing Educational Landscape
• The home becomes the lecture space. The
hundred+ year-old frontal teaching model flips.
• The class becomes conversation space, creation
space, space where teachers actively facilitate
learning.
• Class time is freed up for interactive and applied
learning, activities that inspire critical thinking,
exploration, inquiry, discussion, collaboration,
problem solving.
-Valenza, 2012

13. How Can We Make It Work?
(Gerstein, 2011)

14. Reflect
• Think of your favorite
lesson? Could it be
enhanced by flipping?
What would your
students gain? What
would be lost?

15. Take Away
• Reflecting on pedagogy.
• Rethinking how
teachers reach
students.
• Inspiring teachers to
change the way they’ve
always done things.
• Motivating teachers to
use technology.
(Herz, 2012)
