Jody Oliver's List: Flipping the Classroom

The flipped classroom model encompasses any use of using Internet technology to leverage the learning in your classroom, so you can spend more time interacting with students instead of lecturing. This is most commonly being done using teacher created videos (aka vodcasting) that students view outside of class time.

The flipped classroom is where students watch the video lesson and learn the material at home then come to school and have class time to work on problems where the teacher and fellow students are available to answer questions.

I don't know about your students, but so many of mine, coupled with Senioritis, were DONE after state testing. (The well had run dry, no blood from a turnip -- all those sayings applied!) With just a few precious weeks left in the school year, what do you do to keep the kids energized and onboard with learning?

Welcome to a "flipped classroom" at Byron High School--where the lectures are homework, and problem solving with the teacher is class time.

Teachers, administrators, and the just plain curious and concerned are asking the same thing: What is so great about the concept of the flipped school? This is just one essential question from which many other have arisen. In this CNN article, Greg Green, a Michigan high school principal, dutifully answers a few of the most common ones.
