  • the flipped-classroom technique has also garnered criticism from some who believe that flipping is simply a high-tech version of an antiquated instructional method: the lecture
  • "My concern is that if you're still relying on lecture as your primary mode of getting content across, … you haven't done anything to shift the type of learning that's occurring," said Andrew Miller
  • "That's not how all of us learn," he said. "Just because you flipped your classroom doesn't mean your students will watch the videos. How are you engaging your kids?"

  • "Everyone initially thought that [flipping] was an innovative way [to teach] because we're so rooted in this idea that students don't like homework," he said. "However, when you step back a little bit, what you're looking at is simply a time-shifting tool that is grounded in the same didactic, lecture-based philosophy. It's really a better version of a bad thing."
  • 2. Be thoughtful about what parts of your class you decide to “flip” and when.
  • Tips for Flipping
  • "It's a thing you do in the context of an overarching pedagogy," not the pedagogy itself, he said.
  • 1. Don’t get hung up on creating your own videos.
  • What's the best use of your face-to-face instruction time?
  • 4. Address the issue of access early
  • 5. Find a way to engage students in the videos. Just having students watch videos instead of listening to lectures doesn’t guarantee that they will be more engaged. Requiring students to take notes on the videos, ask questions about the videos, or engage in discussion about them will help ensure that they watch and absorb the material.
  • mastery-based model
  • made adjustments to the flipped classroom, moving from what they call the "traditional" flip to the "mastery based" flipped classroom.
  • 3. If possible, find a partner to create videos with. Students enjoy hearing the back-and-forth conversation of two teachers, especially when one teacher plays the role of mentor while the other plays the role of learner.
  • work through the material at their own pace
  • "For students who had not been challenged in the classroom, this was an opportunity for them to just fly," she said. "For others, it was an opportunity to take the time that they needed to move slower. And for some, self-paced became no pace," and teachers had to step in and create deadlines.
