Instead of all direct instruction lessons occurring in the classroom and worksheets being done for homework, the opposite occurs in the flipped classroom. The flipped classroom changes the classroom from a teacher centered, lecture driven classroom to a discussion driven, work session with individual student needs being the focus. The flipped classroom uses technology to deliver content in a format where students can work individually, and at their own pace. Students then work collaboratively on activities with teacher guidance. We use the flipped lessons as a springboard into deeper discussion, investigations, and activities. Come see how I use it in my classroom and why my team and our students love it.
