8. Origin of the concept
2 chemistry teachers started making
videos for their absent students in 2007,
Students (all of them) liked them so
much that it started a concept!

9. A definition
Flipped Learning is a pedagogical approach in
which direct instruction moves from the group
learning space to the individual learning space,
and the resulting group space is transformed
into a dynamic, interactive learning
environment where the educator guides
students as they apply concepts and engage
creatively in the subject matter.

13. My definition
Concept which allows teachers to share resources
with their pupils and to collaborate easily with
teachers from umpteen countries,
which gives the students an opportunity to study
at their pace, to study differently depending on
their learning styles (different types of resources
are offered),
which permits them to work in groups and help
each other, build their own learning and go further
than they would have in a traditional class.

14. Flipped classroom
On eTwining
Research/experimentation – 1-year-
Project in 17 schools/8 countries,
 Each partner experimented the flipped
classroom and shared their resources,
communicated online,
 Collaborative e-book – our conclusions,
the strengths and weaknesses of the
concept, the issues we faced, how we
overcame them.

19. Homework vs. classwork
HOMEWORK SCHOOLWORK
Studying 5 texts/videos
in groups of 4 students
maximum (reading and
listening skills) while
making notes.
Different documents 
leads to information
gap in class.
Sharing information on
a topic (each group
gives a short talk), the
peers ask
questions/interact.
Alternately, each group
can write a short article
on
Fodey (speaking,
writing skills).
