Flipped Classroom Emily Wagner Marlington High School

Flipped Classroom Idea � A flipped classroom inverts traditional

teaching methods. �  Instruction is delivered outside of class and

the “homework” is moved into the classroom.

� The “traditional” form of lecture does not cater to all learning styles.

� Research at the University level �  Senior Project

Flipped Classroom Benefits � More time for students to engage in

practice � More time for teachers to help clear up

confusion on a particular concept � Great for students who missed class!

Flipped Classroom Benefits � Pause and Repeat!

�  Students can view these videos at their own pace

� Great study tool before the test! �  Intimacy of their own room for the first

time � Science

�  Pre-Lab Component

Types of Recording Software

� Recording the videos are time intensive but definitely made easy with the following pieces of software: �  Smart Recorder �  QuickTime �  Camtasia

� Microphone � Smart Tablet

Smart Recorder �  Smart Board Tools �  Open Recorder

Problems Encountered � Pilot

�  Not a lot of student participation when it wasn’t checked for a “grade”

�  Learning how to successfully watch the videos

� Time it takes to make and edit the video

Student Feedback � A student survey was done at the end of the

school year and here are some comments from them: �  What was something that you liked about the

videos? � “I liked that I could pause when I wanted to take

notes” � “I liked how it was like a lesson in school and you

explained it like you would in class” � “It was like one on one with you, it was much easier to

learn”

Student Feedback

� Most students agreed that this should be done next year but not take place of regular note-taking all of the time.

� Some students asked for a video to help them review for a test!

Things to change � Amount of videos � Have a certain number of videos required

throughout a given time period �  More than one night to do these if possible

Questions?

Time to practice � Think of a concept that you could use

more time outside of class � Come up with a script � Make a short PowerPoint or SmartBoard

Lesson � Record and Edit using Camtasia Software.
