What does the classroom look like?•Individualised learning•Peer teaching

▫Jigsaw methodology▫1:1 discussion with teacher

•Small groups when needed•Technology rich but NOT the focus

Dr Renner’s guidelines• The expectation of spending time doing homework should

be clear • A flipped class implementation does not have to be “all or

nothing”• Students do not automatically prefer cooperative group

work, nor do they intuitively know how to work in a group successfully

• Teachers do not have to create all of their own content for a flipped class

• Lecturing is not bad pedagogy, but it should not be the primary or sole means of instruction

• Pre-testing in K-12 classes warrants further study• Students respond to multiple means of representation

Cons1. Students don’t need more screen or

computer time!2. Students don't need more homework!3. Access to mobile devices and the internet

can be inequitable4. Market forces will allow content producers

to get richer!

Flipping a libraryWhat is flipped?

1. Space - from a focus on resources to focus on learning

2. Information access – from a focus on class or groups of students and IL to a totally individualised at point of need focus

3. Learning – from a focus on teacher selected content and skills outcomes to student selected

4. Skill vs knowledge – traditionally we have focused on skills or literacies – what should out focus be?

So what is the question?

"This above all: to thine own self be true"
