4. The Story of Flipped Learning
• Humble beginnings in Woodland Park,
Colorado in 2006 by Jonathan
Bergmann and Aaron Sams
• Aaron discovers a site where
PowerPoints could be recorded with
voice and annotations and then
recorded to a video file
• What began as selfishness to save
them time, became a model for other
educators.

5. The Story of Flipped Learning

6. Vocabulary as a Foundation
• Podcasts/Vodcasts
• Blended Learning
• Reverse-Instruction
• Flipped Classroom
• Inverted Classroom
• Direct Instruction (DI)
• Project Based Learning (PBL)

7. Ask One Question
• Where in the learning cycle do my students
most need me face-to-face?
Lecture?
Practice?
Discussion?
Application?
Assessment?
Remediation?

8. Then ask …..
• What can I remove from class by using
technology to increase the value of fact-to-face
time?
Lecture?
Practice?
Discussion?
Application?
Assessment?
Remediation?

9. Do NOT Ask ….
• Where can I put a
video in my lesson?

10. Remember:
“Technology does not drive change -- it
enables change.”

11. Things to Remember:
• Do not make a video simply for the sake
of making a video
• Pedagogy must drive technology

15. Participate in an activity that allows for
greater engagement in f2f. Often is DI
through technology: video, screencast,
podcast… Do not be limited to lecture.
Home may not work for you.
In-class video/technology
that allows for less whole
group DI is an option.
Yes! Student
centered, ownership,
flex-pace
Engagement: One-on-one with the
instructor PBL, Collaboration,
Inquiry Driven, Mastery Learning,
UbD, Hands-on…
… and peers,

…24/7 access

(Bradtke/Jaeger)

16. Purposes for Flipping
• Students learning at different
paces (slow, medium, fast)
• Students missing important
pieces of information from
class even though they were
"present”
• Students absent (sick, sports,
etc) and missing critical
lessons
• Students not completing
homework fully or correctly at
home because they "forgot"
how to do it from class (or
simply copying from a friend)
• Teacher spending most of
class time going over problems
and not giving students a lot of
time to practice on their own
with support
• Teacher spending many extra
hours tutoring and re-
explaining to students who
didn't "get it" in class

19. Student Benefits and Goals
• Being absent (sick, extra-
curriculars) and missing content
– can access anywhere,
anytime
• Lesson being taught too fast to
comprehend
• Getting stuck on homework
problems with no support
• Being bored because content is
too easy
• Forgetting old material and
having no way to re-access it
– Being an active, responsible
learner
– Working and collaborating with
classmates to deepen
understanding
– Being in charge of their learning
and their success in the class.
– Working with concepts they
need more support in
understanding
– Managing their time to meet
given learning objectives
Don’t have to worry about… Can focus on…

23. Ways to Begin Your Change
• Focus on materials where students do
not need you to be present
• Record live for one year
• Go all-in
• Flip one unit per term
• Create a single lesson

24. Ways to Begin Your Change
Consider a single lesson to start:
• If you want to have students work on problem-
solving skills, perhaps model problem-solving in
your screencasts.
• If you want to guide them through a book
reading, perhaps create an online version of the
lecture to help cue their attention to the important
ideas

25. Ideas for Videos to Make:
1. A lecture (can use pre-recorded ones) *
2. Video of you demonstrating how something
works in real life
3. Video of a lab procedure
4. Guided problem-solving
5. Homework solutions
6. Pre-lab activity
7. Exam review

26. Tips for Creating a Screencast
• Keep it short
• 5 minutes for elementary
• 8 – 15 minutes for grades 6-12
• 15 – 20 for college
• Always include an assignment, on-task
requirement (WSQ)
• Allow thinking
• Add a secret question

27. Address the Needs (Bradtke/Jaeger)
• The need – absent students – class question
• Solution – Showme video for instruction

28. Address the Needs
(BradtkeJaeger)
The need – teacher feedback
Solution - video grading session for written work

Video Already Created!

31. Review:
Three Key Elements of the Flipped
Classroom:
1) Quality instructional videos
2) Engaging class activities
3) Robust assessment

32. Strategies for
Using Videos at Home

• Notes (WSQ)
• Brainstorming
• Graphic Organizers
• Classification
• Notes

34. How to Flip
1) Choose your topic
2) Create or find a screencast
3) Share content
4) Day After - Plan activities or center work

35. Screencast Tips and Ideas
What is a screencast?
Per Wikipedia:
A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen
output, also known as a video screen capture, often
containing audio narration. The term screencast
compares with the related term screenshot; whereas
screenshot is a picture of a computer screen, a
screencast is essentially a movie of the changes over
time that a user sees on a computer screen, enhanced
with audio narration.
