What is it? Traditional Class Flipped Classroom Lectures are given in class Homework is assigned to practice new skill Flipped Classroom Lectures are assigned for homework Students may pause, rewind, and view as many times as they need Students come to class with prior knowledge Students are able to practice new skills with the aid of their teacher So, in a traditional class lectures, and new concepts are given in class, and then students are sent home to practice the new skill by themselves. In a flipped classroom lectures recorded and assigned for homework, and students may watch them as much as they need to understand the concept, and then they come to class ready to actively learn with the aid of the teacher.

Tips For Success Start Small and learn from mistakes One Class One Unit One Subject Don’t try to flip all your classes in all subjects at one time.
