Flipped classrooms
1. Have the tasks and techniques I use in class
become rituals and ends in themselves?
Do I need to shift preoccupation from running
a successful task to optimising learning?

5. Where did it come from?
✤ 2007 Jonathan Bergman and Aaron Sams discovered software to record
PowerPoint presentations.
✤ They recorded and posted their live lectures for students who were absent.
✤ The online lectures started spreading.
6. What is it?
✤ " almost any class structure that provides prerecorded lectures followed by in-class
exercises"
✤ "Short video lectures are viewed by students at home before the class session, while in-
class time is devoted to exercises, projects, or discussions."
Educause
✤ "A reversed teaching model that delivers instruction at home through interactive,
teacher-created videos and moves “homework” to the classroom."

8. InTraditional classrooms…
✤ students get the information at first hand from the teacher, regardless of the
method used.
✤ Student would practice and get the expansion at home
✤ Flipped classes gives it more of a student centred approach.
9. ✤ At the moment of planning.
✤ it's tempting to aim our class at the middle
of the group.
✤ Susan Purcell suggests to not do this
✤ frustrating for all, ones will get bored, the
others lost
Why?
10. What are we asking students to do?
✤ Be in charge of their learning
✤ Take decisions and make choices
✤ To enable us to trust them
11. What do we have to do?
✤ a shift of attitude:
✤ learners are capable of more than we typically ask of them
✤ a change of focus of teacher energy:
✤ moving from preoccupation with the mechanics of activity, task and material
towards making the learning itself visible;
✤ tweaks in technique:
✤ well-tuned interventions and higher skill sets of classroom management.
12. What do we have to do?
✤ Plan ahead
✤ When the process is more difficult than the introduction and the teacher's
aid could mean the difference between succeeding and failing, shouldn't we
give it a go?
14. What is the real essence?
✤Students at home watch videos prepared by teacher before the class
✤Students do the practice and expansion in class with the teacher
16. Off to the students
✤ Give students the link and tell them to watch it before coming to class.
✤ Give them links to extra online material so they can have some instant
feedback
✤ most books have extra online exercises
17. In class
✤ In class we become assistants.
✤ Most books come with expansion so they can do it with you there and ask
questions when they get stuck.
✤ Revise what was shown
✤ Weaker students will feel more comfortable and even participate more.
20. A Few tips
✤ Start with learning goals
✤ Use rich imagery an direct language
✤ Make videos that revel what students know
✤ Keep videos short. Maximum 7 min
21. Pros
✤ Students control speed and when
✤ Promotes student-centred learning
and collaboration
✤ Lessons and content are more
accessible (no more excuses)
✤ It can be more efficient
✤ Create or exacerbate digital divide
✤ Relies on preparation and trust
✤ Significant work on the front end
✤ No naturally a test-prep form of
learning
✤ Time in front of screens instead of ...

23. Keep in Mind…
✤ It's just one MORE method.
✤ You do not have to get married!
✤ You will always have those reluctant students.
✤ It's meant to help and not complicate, but all new things take time.
