Learn more about what it means to flip your classroom, what tools you can use for flipping and how students respond. Get tips about managing this transition and share your own ideas about how you have flipped in your classroom.
In addition to hearing about Alexis’s experiences, find out how you can connect to other educators that are trying this in their classrooms. There are great websites and resources that can help you on your journey.

I truly enjoy today’s presentation by Alexis. I loved the idea of having students preview lessons and build their background knowledge. I find this very useful for ELLs and students who have a hard time following in class. I can’t wait to use it in my classes. I am thinking I can record some videos for math classes in Spanish. That way, if a student is having a difficult time understanding a concept in English, he will be able to check out the video and continue with the lesson. I also think that flipping the classroom gives students an opportunity to reinforce what has been taught or when a student is absent (in our case due to court or room restriction).
Those are great ideas! I can really see how video lessons would help ELL students. Let me know if you need any help!
I really think that putting these videos in the hands of the students will be empowering. It gives them control and fosters a sense of responsibility for their own learning.
