Flipped Classrooms

What is a flipped teaching?
Ramsey Musallam, defines "flip teaching" as "leveraging technology to appropriately pair the learning activity with the learning environment." This flexibility is why technology has the potential to be so transformative in education.

The goal of a flipped classroom
Have students be able to:

  • question
  • problem solve
  • think outside the box
  • create innovative solutions 


The problem with flipped classroom
  • Many of the flipped classroom examples are passive ways of learning. The teacher gives the video and the student only watches it, and they only engage in lower thinking of Bloom's Taxonomy.

How to improve the system
  • Create online discussions 
  • Hold a debate
  • Make collaborative group work
  • Take advantage of ready to use content
