check out the information provided by the flipped learning network!  This site provides a great definition.  The network has also created the four pillars of flipped learning.  Use this information to create meaningful and engaging lessons.  Students love using technology, but what makes the flipped learning experience work is that students use technology independently at their own pace.  Students also love working collaboratively in the classroom solving real world problems.  Please drop a comment below and let me know what you think?  Do you think the flipped learning model is right for your classroom?

Hi Beau,

I use to use pre-recorded video's which were recorded by another instructor at Del Tech because it was required by the administration. At first I was against it because I didn't understand the importance. Soon after the implementation, I found it was actually one of the best things for students. Having the videos readily available for them to review what was taught in class help them tremendously. My students loved that they were able to revisit the concepts by watching the videos over again. I haven't actually recorded any flipped classroom videos but I am an proponent of using it to help students take their education to another level.

Thanks for sharing this website about Flipped classrooms! I definitely see the benefits and advantages of adopting a flipped learning model in my classroom, especially with teaching math. However, I think it will take some time to establish these new norms for the classroom and for homework. I believe that a flipped learning model will allow for more rigorous activities and problem-based learning in the classroom, but that relies on students doing the required work at home beforehand. In theory, it would be great for students to listen/watch instruction and do the note-taking at home because it does not warrant as much thinking. Then, students can apply those skills in the classroom with real-world problems and rigorous activities with the guidance of the teacher.

This infographic is awesome. I have been looking for some really good flipped learning resources and this looks amazing. I can't wait to poke around this site and see what else might be useful. I will definitely be sharing this with my colleagues as a way to think about and present flipped learning. Thanks!

Beau,

Thanks so much for the awesome resources on flipped classrooms. I have trying to "think big, but start small," when it comes to technology integration within my classroom. This applies to using flipped classroom concepts too. I am starting small by video taping and recording screencasts of lessons, directions, and lectures for my students to watch at home before working on a specific activity. As your resources detail, there are plenty of other ways to go too!
