Technology will not replace teachers but teachers who do not use technology will be replaced.

One of my favorite quotes about technology in education actually dates from 1983. Dr. Ray Clifford made this statement many years ago, but it still holds true today.

What is it?

The flipped classroom is a model for teaching that moves most of the direct instruction outside of the classroom through video or some other form of instruction.

What we used to think of as teaching (giving direct instruction to students) becomes the "homework" for the class.

This frees up class time for differentiated learning, one-on-one help for students that need it, collaboration with peers, and hands-on learning. It's also great for inquiry-based and project-based learning.

Why Flip?

Don't we have enough to do already?
Yes, we already have a lot to do as teachers. We have to write lesson plans. We have to work long hours. We don't get paid very well. There's a lot to do as a teacher, but flipping your classroom might help.

Here's some stats that I hope will help persuade you to try flipping:

Of over 180,000 students surveyed, 3/4 of them said that the flipped classroom would be a good way for them to learn, with 32% of them strongly agreeing with that statement.

Already, students are more engaged than they are in a regular classroom.

what's holding us back?

The biggest issues facing teachers right now are:

!. Training on how to create videos
2. How to best use videos in the classroom
3. Finding high quality videos
4. Student access at home

HOW IN THE WORLD

CAN I FLIP MY CLASSROOM?

2 FLIPPING TECHNIQUES

CREATE CONTENT OR CURATE CONTENT
The content you use in your flipped classroom can either be something that you create or something that someone else has created.

You don't have to create everything, although you probably should.

CURATING IS EASY...

AND SO IS CREATING!
Everybody can curate content. And it doesn't have to be video content.

You search the Internet for your content. You watch Twitter for content that other people are posting.

Use hashtags on Twitter to see what others in your content area are doing or creating.

Search YouTube for content videos.

Where do I find Content?

Here's some places to find content:

1. YouTube
2. Twitter
3. Pinterest
4. RSS Feeds
5. News sites

Find content and link to it in your Learning Management system.

If your students are on Twitter, have a hashtag for your class and tweet out the link.

Use Remind101 to text out the link to students and parents.
