How can you implement a flipped classroom?

Learning Objective

At the end of Unit 4, students will understand how to flip their classrooms.

Mini-Course

Through this mini-course, we have discussed all aspects of the flipped classroom except how to actually do it. This unit will teach you how to do just that. To do this, I have included three videos. Each does a great job at detailing how to flip a classroom. This is the most important part of this mini-course, so make sure you take notes on how to do this. The videos are posted below.

Conclusions

As I stated before, this is the most important unit. Students can fall in love with the idea, but they need to understand how to actually implement a flipped classroom. The videos show you exactly what you need to do and how you need to do it. What is also important to remember here is that all of the other units come in to play in this unit as well. Without proper understanding of what the flipped classroom is or why it is beneficial, your class could succumb to failure. My best advice here is to understand exactly what you are getting yourself into and make sure you implement it properly.
