What is Flipped Learning? Flipped Learning is an instructional approach where students are introduced to learning materials at home (e.g., through videos, readings, or interactive tools) and then engage in deeper, hands-on learning activities in the classroom.
Hands-On Activity: Flipping a Lesson Task: Break into subject-specific groups (e.g., Math, Science, English). Each group selects a topic they commonly teach.
Collaborative Learning: Show examples of group-based activities like debates, experiments, or storytelling tied to pre-class materials.
How to Flip the classroom?
Clear and Engaging Pre-Class Materials Short, high-quality videos or interactive presentations.
Technology Integration: Tools like Padlet for brainstorming,PHET simulation , Blooket or Jamboard for collaborative problem-solving.
Visual and Auditory Stimuli Incorporate engaging visuals, infographics, and multimedia during class. Play background music to set a positive atmosphere during hands-on activities.
In-Class Active Learning Collaborative Activities: Group discussions, debates, or peer teaching. Team challenges, puzzles, or escape room activities based on pre-class materials.
Hands-On Projects: Experiments, role-playing, or problem-solving tasks. Building models or creating presentations.
Differentiation and Personalization Offer tiered activities to cater to different ability levels. Use learning stations where students can choose tasks based on their interests or needs.
Real-Time Feedback and Interaction Use formative assessment tools during class. Incorporate peer feedback sessions.
Connection to Real Life and Fun Relate content to real-world scenarios to make it relevant. Incorporate humor, stories, or cultural references.
Student Ownership Encourage students to take the lead in discussions or activities. Let students create content, like videos or presentations, as part of their learning.
Reflection and Q&A Activity: “Exit Ticket” Write one thing they learned, one question they still have, and one idea they want to try immediately.
