To Flip or not to Flip? - Aaron Sams http://flippedlearning.org/Page/1

What is Flipped Learning?


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.

No fundamental change in the way we teach
Blackboard - OHP - PowerPoint - Interactive Whiteboard

Required Curriculum - Content Delivery (in class) which is easy & Practice (at home) which is hard
Flipped is where the easy part is done at home and the hard part in class

Other models
Thayer Method (1817 - 1833)
Keller Personalised Instructions
Inverted classroom

Flipped Learning - leverages on new media,
content delivery (at home) & (in school) practice, aplication, creation
At home - focus on remembering and understanding of the Bloom's Taxonomy of thinking

Creation vs Curation

Balance of Content Relationships, Curiosity

multiple ways to assess students' understanding - Universal Design Learning
Teachers' content mastery is key.


Lesson Design Cycle
What lends in direct instructions? What lends itself to inquiry?
