Reflections on FlipCon12. The Flipped Class Conference is over, and I have been home for a few days and have read through my notes and the notes, tweets and blogs of others. I am still reflecting on much of the information, ...

During our August 16th #LangChat, our participants discussed the prospect of “flipping” a world language classroom. Simply put, the “flipped” model has students learn new information – which would normally be presented during an in-class lecture – on their own at home, often through readings or videos. Class time is then spent practicing and enforcing the new material through discussion and activities.

After many questions and much prompting (and frankly some jealousy over some other teachers' videos), I have made a video about my how I came to the flipped classroom. It is nothing super fancy, but hopefully it answers ...

We need to change the vocabulary. The term “flipped classroom” has an implication of isolated instances or a single mode of instruction … sort of like, “If you do x, y and z, then you have a flipped classroom.” I want to lay out major themes that can be found in all instances of flipping. Flipped learning as an idea encompasses a variety of individual practices that are tailored from class to class, by teachers, to meet the needs of their students. The practices and methods teachers use vary, just as traditional teaching methods vary from class to class. However, there are philosophical parallels between any two classes that promote flipped learning.

Directors and co-founders of Flat Classroom started creating global collaborative projects in 2006. Since then 1000's of students and 100's of educators across 25+ countries have been part of a series of projects, many live events, and a dynamic online network. But wait! Being flat does not always mean going global. The Flat Classroom is a pedagogical approach to teaching and learning that starts with connecting the teacher to the class and then looking beyond. The Flat Classroom mission is to provide support, encouragement, strategies and pedagogy for classrooms globally to learn how to connect and sustain collaborative working modes. Teachers who want to inspire learners through intercultural awareness, enhanced digital citizenship skills and attitudes and connected learning will find useful tools and resources through attending this session. In this session we will: Share pedagogical approaches to connecting and collaborating in the classroom K-12, and beyond!Explore Flat Classroom ProjectsBrowse tools and resources available for global collaborationShare stories of connected learningCome to an understanding of what a Flat Classroom is and how any teacher can flatten their classroom walls now Websites / URLs Associated with This Session: http://flatclassroomproject.net http://flatclassrooms.ning.com http://flatclassroombook.com

"One of my goals today was to make a "flow chart" of how my flipped class works to help students understand the expectations and what they are supposed to be doing. Here's what I've come up with so far! If you go to the live document, most of the boxes have links to external docs that describe the step in more detail."

The term "Flipped Classroom" is being thrown around a lot lately in both positive and negative light. I think the term is a bit ambiguous and does not fully do justice to all that is being done under the guise of the Flipped Classroom. My colleague, Jon Bergmann, and I have a book coming out soon that I hope brings clarity to what most of us mean by "The Flipped Classroom." In the mean time, I hope to shed some light on some of the confusion, critique, and hype.

Too often the conversation surrounding the flipped classroom focuses on the videos- creating them, hosting them, and assessing student understanding of the content via simple questions or summary assignments. I wish the conversation focused more on what actually happens in a flipped classroom. If we move lecture or the transfer of knowledge online to create time and space in the physical classroom, how are we using that time to improve learning for students? What is our role as the teacher in the flipped classroom? How are we maximizing the potential of the group when students are together to design collaborative, creative, student-centered activities and assignments? This is the part I want to hear more about!

We're hearing a lot of talk about education in these back-to-school days, but a few conversations rise above the din.

Flipping the classroom involves finding or recording videos and screencasts (narrated recordings of your computer screen) that students watch before class time. Instead of (only) lecturing during class time, students can watch lectures and videos from home, and then during class do more interactive activities such as practicing problems, collaborative learning, active learning, formative assessment with classroom response systems, and the like.

Like most education fads, flipped learning has just enough sense in it to make it appealing and to give its advocates a sense of superiority that sometimes convinces people they must be right. But like most fads, it ignores a lot of the reality. It is possible to innovate in education, but most of the time, smart, dedicated people are already doing what you want them to do—or there are good reasons why they aren’t.
