(Unless, of course, a student read ahead in the textbook or another form of material.) During class, students would take in the lesson and ask what questions they could within the limited time provided. The teacher would then instruct them to solve some questions or complete some tasks at home and bring them the next day, only to provide them with feedback a day or later. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Take into account the possible classroom interruptions and the varying ability of each student to follow along. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Before the class, teachers prepare the lesson based on what portions of the material are more important and should be stressed on. They then proceed to present the material and educate the students by focusing on those areas they &#8211; the teachers &#8211; feel are most important. In some, if not many, cases, students easily understand those portions and struggle with other relevant portions of the lesson. Questions are asked &#8211; within the limited time available &#8211; and teachers prepare to go over the parts that still seemed unclear the next time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Teachers also grade and correct the homework and any classwork after class and try to provide students with important and helpful feedback as soon as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flipped_Classroom\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Flipped Classroom<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-request-a-free-demo\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3CqQlKT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class='mb-text'>Create Free Account<\/span><\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_it_Began\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">How it Began<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-42\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.skolera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/back-to-school-183533_1280.jpg\" alt=\"flipped classroom \" width=\"244\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skolera.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/back-to-school-183533_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/skolera.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/back-to-school-183533_1280-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skolera.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/back-to-school-183533_1280-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/skolera.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/back-to-school-183533_1280-1024x687.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px\" \/>In 2004, two science teachers at Woodland Park High School were facing a problem. With some students participating in sports and other activities, and with some schools in their district requiring more time for transportation, the teachers, Jonathan Bergman and Aaron Sams, had to find a way to deliver the material to the students in an effective and efficient way. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Bergman and Sams stumbled on a software that allowed users to record PowerPoint presentations with audio. <em>The two teachers began recording presentations and sharing them with the students. Students would watch these PowerPoint presentations before class, then discuss them and conduct the experiments and assignments in class. And thus the idea of flipped classroom blossomed. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_is_Today\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">What it is Today<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Flipped learning and flipped classroom have developed quickly since Bergman and Sams shared videos of PowerPoint presentations to their students in 2004. Teachers can now share videos of themselves explaining the lessons, add notes and diagrams while presenting the material, and attach documents and files along with the video. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><em>The concept itself involves students getting a grasp of the material before class by watching the presentation and preparing any questions they may have. The class is where they ask those questions, get a more complete understanding, and put the new knowledge and skills into practice.<\/em> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">The age-old problems of interruptions and time lost are handled with hands-on activities, practice, and classwork. Complete understanding is ensured via those activities and tasks, and the teacher can correct any mistakes and provide feedback immediately.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.skolera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pc-1207686_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"519\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skolera.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pc-1207686_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/skolera.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pc-1207686_1280-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skolera.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pc-1207686_1280-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/skolera.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pc-1207686_1280-1024x680.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">This does, however, require students to actually watch the presentations or lectures outside of school. <em>There are a few issues that arise: <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It requires students to have internet access outside of school.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It relies on students to actually take the time outside of school to watch the videos<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teachers will have to know how to record a lecture or presentation and upload it to the platform they wish to use<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">If the students are reliable and have the required devices and access, and if the teachers are willing and able to create videos of their presentations and lectures, then it\u2019s only a matter of whether or not the teacher or school is willing to make the change. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LMS_Virtual_Classrooms_and_Flipped_Classrooms\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">LMS, Virtual Classrooms, and Flipped Classrooms<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Two major tools that have helped advance the growth and implementation of flipped learning are learning management systems (LMS) and virtual classrooms. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">LMS provide schools with a platform on which teachers can upload and share files and content with their students.
