By: Emily D. Ibajo

What is Flipped Classroom??

Flipped classroom or flipped learning is a methodology, an approach to learning in which technology is employed to reverse the traditional role of classroom time.

Several teachers now have already stated using the flipped classroom model in their teaching and some are still thinking about how to do it.

Flipped learning or flipped classroom is a learning concept that has been making some huge uproar within educational circles for the last couple of years. Flipped classroom is not a new concept as some would argue but only the advance of technology particularly the mobile and handheld gadgetry brought it to the surface and gave it more prominence

A flipped classroom is sometimes the best teaching/learning model some teachers have to use with  their students. The use of technology in a flipped classroom should never be regarded as a supplicant of the teacher but only a complimentary element that increases students learning outcomes.

what is the difference between Flipped classroom and traditional classroom???

Flipped Classroom also "allows teachers to reflect on and develop quality and engaging learning opportunities and options for internalization, creation, and application of content rather than just fluff or time filling assignments."

Flipped learning is much more than just watching videos as homework or about teachers creating videos as homework for students, it is rather a learning process that engages students through real and authentic action.

Flipped Classroom shifts the learning responsibility and ownership  from the teacher's hands  into the students'.

 Students tend to perform better when they control when, where and how they learn.

Teachers no longer dispense knowledge but rather guide and direct while students are the real active learners 

 Teachers create animated videos and interactive lessons and lectures and students access them at home in advance of class even. In this way all students can re-watch the video tutorials whenever they want.

 Classroom time can be geared towards data collection, collaboration, and application.

Class becomes a place for students to work through problems, advance concepts, and engage in collaborative learning.

The purpose is to maximize learning through capitalizing on the classroom instruction time.

Students watch lectures at home at their own pace and communicate with peers and
