The History of the Flipped Classroom

• 2006 – Three high school chemistry students needed a tool to help students catch up on missed classrooms

• Found Camtasia (a screencasting tool) and started recording their lectures and posting them on YouTube

• Word got out and the rest is history– Flipped Learning Network

60 Minutes

What is it?

Traditional Classroom• Teacher delivers content

using, chalkboard, whiteboard, or interactive whiteboard in front of the kids

• Homework is completed at home

Flipped Classroom• Content is delivered

through a video, podcast, animation, song or other form of media

• Homework is completed in class with the teacher

Have you heard of Khan Academy?

Flipped vs. Balanced Approach

Flipped• All lecture delivered online• Class time is dedicated to

inquiry based learning

Balanced• A little bit of both

– Some of the content is flipped– Some of the content is

traditional

Why do it? Pros and Cons

Pros• Students can revisit your

lecture at anytime• Students are more

responsible for their own learning – they need to be prepared for class

• Frees up classroom time to focus on in-depth hands-on inquiry based learning

Cons• Students may not have

access to a computer, television, etc. at home

• Creating the videos can be time consuming

• Developing activities for the classroom can be time consuming
