Case Study: The Flipped

Classroom
It is today we must create the world of the
future. Eleanor Roosevelt

Carynn Kanow
EDUC 515

Abstract

The flipped classroom is defined and justified. Benefits
and drawbacks are discussed. A summary of the results of
the case study are reviewed. Questions and
recommendations are addressed. A video is included that
shows why a teacher implemented a flipped classroom.
The Flipped Classroom
Students watch and listen to lessons for homework
Class time is used for tackling problems, working in
groups, collaborating, creating
Lessons can be made by the teacher or linked to
premade lessons on the Internet (e.g. Khan Academy,
YouTube, Edmoto, Wiki, TED)
Can be used in all subjects

Why the Flipped Classroom?
Teachers reflect and rethink teaching and teaching
methods
Inspires change in students and teachers
Motivates students
Improves the quality of interaction between teacher
and students
Pros of the Flipped Classroom
Higher student engagement
More interaction and face-to-face time
Meet the needs of students through differentiated
instructional activities (in the classroom)
More time in class for review and remediation
Students can skip parts they already know
More parent involvement
Cons of the Flipped Classroom
Students can not ask questions during homework
session
Getting students to buy into the concept
Determining how to handle students who do not watch
the videos
Creating and/or finding quality videos for each session
(time)
Technology difficulties (glitches)
Summary
There is a lot to think about when deciding if and how to
implement a Flipped Classroom. Many of the drawbacks can be
eliminated with solutions if you are willing to put in extra time
and make changes along the way. Without much long term
research, the case study concluded that although teachers see
benefits with the flipped classroom, it has not been studied long
enough to see if it has positive results on standardized testing.
However, this lack of data from standardized testing should not
deter teachers from utilizing technology and the flipped
classroom. Innovative teachers will find ways to make this work
and get the results they need. Flipped classrooms should be one
method teachers use with our 21
st
century learners!


Questions??
What do you do with students who dont have access
to a computer at home?
What do you do with students who repeatedly choose
not to watch videos at home?
Will the flipped classroom concept only work with the
same type of student learners?
How will I ever have time to create quality videos for
my students?
Recommendations
Teachers must not forget about the assessment piece in
order for the flipped classroom to work.
Teachers must know what the students are and are not
learning
The data from the previous night should drive the
instruction
Recommendations
Apps can be used in the Flipped Classroom
*Explain Everything, Show Me, Educreations,
Doceri
Include links in your video for deeper thinking or
further learning
Find a way to assess with a link in video
