"El flipped classroom o clase al revés o invertida es una estrategia metodológica que está de moda, que llama la atención de docentes, familias y alumnado y que está extendiéndose por las aulas de manera exponencial, por lo que podríamos hablar de un "boom" de esta estrategia. Sin embargo, también pienso que hay alguna confusión sobre qué es y, sobre todo, sobre cómo es. Como dicen sus iniciadores, los estadounidenses Bergmann y Sams, no hay un modelo de clase al revés, porque se trata de una estrategia que debe adaptarse a las condiciones del aula teniendo claro que hay que utilizar un enfoque diferente del proceso de aprendizaje. Por eso, el flipped classroom es mucho más que utilizar un vídeo para sustituir la tradicional clase magistral del profesor, es mucho más que hacer las actividades en clase en vez de en casa y es mucho más que utilizar las tecnologías más recientes y de moda. Es, además de todo eso, otras muchas cosas que consiguen demostrar que se debe y se puede aprender y enseñar de otra forma mucho más motivadora, personalizada y eficaz, por lo que deberíamos hablar no sólo de flipped classroom sino, sobre todo, de flipped learning y flipped teaching. Es, en definitiva, plantearse el aprendizaje y, por tanto, la enseñanza de otra manera y con un enfoque que dé protagonismo al alumnado, que lo ayude a ser crítico y, sobre todo, autónomo, para que esté preparado ante la incertidumbre y ante lo inesperado. Para el futuro."
