Flipped Classroom

A flipped classroom is one where students are introduced to content at home, and practice working through it at school. In this blended learning approach, face-to-face interaction is mixed with independent study via technology. Students watch pre-recorded videos at home, then come to school to do the 'homework' armed with questions and at least some background knowledge.

The concept behind the flipped classroom is to rethink when students have access to the resources they need most. If the problem is that students need help doing the work rather than being introduced to the new thinking behind the work, then the solution the flipped classroom takes is to reverse that pattern.

The following two technology resources can support the Flipped Classroom approach, Screencast-0-Matic, and SnagIt for creating instructional videos.
