The Good, The Bad and

Preventing the Uglies

WHAT IS FLIPPING THE CLASSROOM?

Students watch short lectures at home, with the ability to slow down, rewind or review a lecture while taking notes.

WHAT IS FLIPPING THE CLASSROOM?

Concept engagement takes place in the class period with the teacher as facilitator.

Students work cooperatively to be successful in understanding concepts.

THE GOOD

Less time required for homework. Students have the ability to review a lecture

as many times as needed and at their own pace.

Taking notes becomes easier. Students work cooperatively to help each

other understand the concept through the use of in-class exercises or discussions.

More time available for the teacher to help students that need assistance the most.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

There is no single model for a flipped classroom.

Provides pre-recorded videos followed by in-class exercises.

Can include on-line quizzes and activities.
