Instructional Ideas

• Before launching this approach, survey your class members to determine what technology they have available outside the classroom
• Providing learners with reading or response guides for materials viewed at home offers a focus for their attention and accountability for the materials
• Use the video to launch a department or school-wide discussion of this instructional technique

Classroom Considerations

• Instituting flipped classrooms throughout the school requires a whole-staff conversation about the amount of time students will be spending on homework for an individual class
• The flipped classroom approach assumes that all learners have access to the required technology outside of school
• Having trouble getting the video to play smoothly? Clicking the blue HD letters in the lower-right corner will play the video at a lower resolution and decrease buffering time

Pros

• Graves uses examples drawn from his own experience to explain the advantages of the flipped classroom approach

Cons
