What are Flipped classrooms?
•Flipped, inverted or backwards classrooms
•Flipped or reverse teaching
A classroom where
• Students learn content at home via teacher prepared
podcast/vodcast
• Classroom time is dedicated to collaborative work, exploration
of academic interests, one-on-one time with teacher
• Teachers become instructors, coaches, advisors
• Students own their learning
www.CTDInstitute.org
Origins of flipping
In 2007, faced with increased student absenteeism at a
Colorado rural school, Chemistry teachers Jonathan
Bergmann and Aaron Sams decided to:
• Use alternative ways to deliver content
• Offer students out-of-school opportunities to catch up
with content
www.CTDInstitute.org
To reach out to the absent students, Jonathan &
Aaron used narrated PowerPoint presentations
as an alternative content delivery method.
These presentations were saved on Flash
Drives and/or burned on CDs and given to
students.
Next, they used video capture software to
record classroom lessons and upload the videos
to YouTube.
The flipped classroom was thus born.

Principles of flipped classrooms
1- Students are the center of the learning process.
2- Students’ interests and inquiries guide their own learning
goals.
3- Content delivery is based on principles of Universal Design
for Learning (UDL), including:
alternative ways to deliver and access content
alternative ways to demonstrate knowledge acquisition

Issues for Teachers to Consider: Exploring the
Pros and Cons &
Investments in Time and Effort
www.CTDInstitute.org
1- Flipping needs… upfront work
Planning, creating and developing new materials and activities
Recording lessons in a podcast or vodcast format
Preparing web-based hand-outs, and curating websites to be used as
resources
Uploading of all files in condensed format takes time
Production of podcast/vodcast materials and resources need to
comply with the IDEA requirements
Identifying possible production difficulties with the use of IEP
prescribed software and applications available only at school (screen
readers, text-to-talk, etc.)
www.CTDInstitute.org
2. Flipping needs re-thinking Materials and activities to enhance content delivered via
podcast/vodcast
Classroom activities to offer pathways for
individual content exploration
development of collaborative projects
Teacher’s role in the classroom as
Facilitator
Mentor
Students’ role in the learning process as
owners of their learning process
www.CTDInstitute.org
Things to know
1. Flipping isn’t about the newest technology or web-based tools
2. Flipping changes the classroom structure and how teaching is organized and content delivered
