19. #1. A teacher records
a short video of
himself, delivering the
same (or adapted)
content, as he would
present in class.
10-15 minutes
#2. A student watches
the video at home and
prepares for
tomorrow’s class,
taking charge of his
learning.
#3. In class, students
work in small groups
or on personalized
assignments to
develop better
understanding and
solve problems.
The Basic Structure
20. Why Flip?
Students take
active approach
and learn more
deeply.
Flipped learning
helps students
stay engaged.
Knowledge gaps
become clearly
visible.
Group work
encourages
knowledge sharing.
Students are saved
from the homework
struggle.
23. 1. Prior to every World History class, John
now records 10-minute long videos that his
students can watch at their own pace to
prepare for the class time.
2. The pleasure that he gets from delivering
the mini-lectures exactly the way he wants is
greater than his fear of cameras. And to be
fair, he does really dislike the demanding eye
of a camera lens.
3. Thanks to the flipped classroom model,
he is also able to involve external World
History experts and engage students
through real-life stories.
This is John.

24. 4. John supplements videos with brief online
quizzes and games to get immediate
feedback on the points that his students
missed or found unclear, collecting crucial
data about each student’s individual level and
pace of learning.
5. Using the quiz results, John is able to
design personalized classroom assignments
that assist his students with grasping the
essential information, and memorizing the
dates and events.
6. He finally feels that his students are
starting to appreciate the depth and intrigue
of the multi-layered World History.
This is John.
If John can do it, so can you.

25. A Few Tips For The Future…
Parents often struggle alongside children.
By moving homework into the classroom,
you’re saving their time, too. Remember
this if an extra argument is needed to
justify your decision to flip.
Sometimes you’ll just want to check
whether your students watched the videos
at all. Try asking a couple of basic
questions, like: “What was the colour of my
shirt?” or “Which example I showed was
most helpful to you?”
26. Why Not?
Because how will I
know if my course
design is
effective?
Because how will I
control, who’s
watching the
videos?
Because…
TECHNOLOGY??
27. Okay. We get it. It’s stressful, and you don’t
want to fail.
