Why flip the classroom

Advantages — Differentiation — Students can «rewind» and listen to the explanation several times — Gives the teacher more time for guided and independent practice in the classroom — Home-school link

Challenges — Need to plan teaching — Aims and objectives have to clear — Teacher has to talk clearly — Online: requires access to the Internet — Other options? — Save film in different formats that can be downloaded onto the students’ personal devices or as DVD

The process — Plan the lesson — Determine the objective of the lesson — Record the video — You can choose to write a script — Keep it short and to the point — Edit the video — You can remove mistakes, add call-outs — Publish the video — You can upload your video on an LMS or even on YouTube (make sure that you have not used copyrighted material)
