Blended Learning: Flipped Classrooms

The Flipped Classroom model is perhaps the poster child of using video for instruction at school. It is also widely regarded as another implementation of blended learning.

If you are unfamiliar with the idea of a flipped classroom, it reverses the teacher-student interactions found in a typical classroom. Instead of lecturing to students and having them start a task that they later have to complete at home without the teacher's assistance, the students watch an instructional video of a standard they are learning before coming to school.

This methodology gives the teacher more time in class to work one-on-one with students who need it or with small groups of students. Watch the videos below to better understand what that looks like in practice.
