1
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,580
Now, before we tell you more about these
three schools and three models,

2
00:00:06,580 --> 00:00:09,710
we do think it's important to mention
this term flipped classroom,

3
00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:11,990
because you probably have heard
about this before.

4
00:00:11,990 --> 00:00:14,910
In many ways flipped classroom
is the easiest way to get in to

5
00:00:14,910 --> 00:00:17,949
the blended learning movement.
So let's take a moment to just

6
00:00:17,949 --> 00:00:20,729
look at a definition of what
flipped classroom means.

7
00:01:01,669 --> 00:01:03,880
So, the essential idea 
of the flipped classroom is simple.

8
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,000
Basically, what used to be done in
the classroom is now done at home online

9
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,290
and what used to be done at home
through practicing problems

10
00:01:11,290 --> 00:01:14,080
is now done in the classrooms
so that the teacher can actually

11
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,570
guide the students.

12
00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:18,900
So in this graphic before you,
what you see on the left hand side

13
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:21,720
is that students,
represented by the blue dots,

14
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,760
are actually in the classroom
with their fellow peers

15
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,360
and you see that teacher
at the front of the room in the red.

16
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,810
And they're working
on practice and projects.

17
00:01:28,810 --> 00:01:30,660
And then on the right hand side
of the screen,

18
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:33,280
that represents students at home
and that's where they're doing

19
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,460
their online learning.

20
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:37,190
Now, we're not diving deep
on flipped classroom,

21
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:39,980
because we actually think it's
a great beginning into blended,

22
00:01:39,980 --> 00:01:41,960
but we don't want people
to just stop there.

23
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:45,290
It's an entry point to the idea
of making learning more personalized

24
00:01:45,290 --> 00:01:48,370
and better using time,
but as you start practicing

25
00:01:48,370 --> 00:01:50,710
in your setting the different
ideas of blended learning,

26
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:53,750
don't think that's the end game.
Really push yourself to think

27
00:01:53,750 --> 00:01:55,290
and be creative
and take some risks

28
00:01:55,290 --> 00:01:58,290
around how kids can have
more agency in a learning process

29
00:01:58,290 --> 00:02:00,550
and now we can differentiate
for each student's needs.
