What is it?
Flipped classrooms are a model of teaching where lecture and homework are reversed. Students take control of their learning by watching videos and studying course material outside of class. They come to class prepared to attack difficult problems, work in groups, research, collaborate, craft, and create.
Why do it?
1. Cultivate Deeper Learning
* Students gain control over learning.
* Videos offer students the opportunity to rewind and review difficult content.
2. Implement Active Learning Strategies
* Place classroom empahsis on higher-order thinking skills.
* Utilize class time for think/pair/share, role playing, jigsaw, peer review, discussion, gamification, collaborative learning, case-based learning, peer instruction.

How do I do it?
Start simple – choose one lesson to flip.
Determine your learning goals – what do you want students to master?
Plan the lesson
*What will information be covered in the “at home” assignment – video lecture, premade instruction
*How will you use the extra class time – project, group work, gamification, labs
Create the lesson
*Develop a vodcast or use one that is pre-made
*Upload it to make it accessible to students
Sell it to your students
*Explain access at home – how to log on or pull up the video
*Explain access issues – allow time in labs for students without access at home
*Explain assessment – ticket into class, notes at home
Get feedback
*Students will be a wealth of information. They use technology all the time. Be sure to listen.
