What a Flipped Classroom Model does
Students get the lectures at home at their own pace,
communicating with peers and teachers via online
discussions.
Concept engagement takes place in the classroom with
the help of the instructor.
Educational technology and activity learning are
two key components of the flipped classroom.

How it got started
2007: Teachers Jonathan Bergman and
Aaron Sams at Woodland Park, CO, started
using software to record PowerPoint
presentations.

They recorded and posted their live
lectures online for students who missed
class.
The lectures started spreading.
Flipped
Classroom
Bergman and Sams were asked to speak
to teachers around the country about
their methods.
Teachers began using online videos and
video podcasts to teach students outside
of class, reserving class time for
collaborative work and concept mastery
exercises.

Only 69% 31% don’t
of students
who start
high school
finish four
years later.
An average of 7,200
students drop out of
high school each
day, totaling 1.3
million a year.
What is driving it?
The availability of online video and
increasing student access to technology
has paved the way for flipped classroom
models.

Worked
• Teachers created three
videos a week.
• Students watched the 5 to
7 minute videos at home
or in school if they did not
have access at home.

labs or interactive
activities to illustrate
concepts.

MISCONCEPTIONS
Flip Misconception #1
Implementing the Flipped Learning
method makes me, as the teacher, much
less important.
The teacher becomes a facilitator in the classroom. The
teacher interacts with students, meeting the unique
learning needs of every student.
Flip Misconception #2
Videos have to be assigned as homework.
Videos are often used by teachers flipping their classroom
but any learning tool can be used.
Flip Misconception #3
Most of my kids do not even have internet
access at home. There is no way they can
watch all of this video.
If students do not have Internet access at home, access to
information can be provided by flash drive, CD, DVD or
checking out a computer. Also, students can access content
within the classroom, library or public library.
Flip Misconception #4
Where is the accountability? How do I
even know if kids are watching the
videos?
Assignments can be accompanied with discussion boards,
questions or short exercises. If students did not watch the
videos, they can do so in class while others work on
activities.
Flip Misconception #5
As a teacher, I don’t have the time or the
expertise to produce all of the videos
required to teach like this.
Yes there is some up front work but there are many tools to
help record lectures and much of your current content can
be modified to use. Students can create lessons too!
Creating Content
• Audacity Record your lesson and save as a
wav or mp3 file
• Knovio Record yourself with your
PowerPoint and link to your presentation
• Record your lesson with SMART Recorder
• Jing Record up to 5 minutes of onscreen
video or capture an image of your screen
• CamStudio Free software to record all screen
and audio activity on your computer
