�  Opened fall 2012

�  PBL curriculum and approach

�  3 themes: �  Digital citizenship �  Green futures �  STEM

�  Creating…Communicating… Collaborating…

�  Brian Bennett- The Flipped Classroom is a mindset, not a method

� Aaron Sams - There is

no such thing as THE flipped classroom

�  Just videos

�  An online class

�  Replacing teachers with

videos

�  Students working

without structure

�  Students working alone

�  A means to INCREASE

interaction and

personalized contact

time between students

and teachers

�  An environment where

students

take responsibility for

their own learning 

�  A classroom where students who are absent due to illness

or extra-curricular activities such as athletics or field-trips,

don't get left behind.

�  A class where content is permanently archived  for

review or remediation.

�  A class where all students are engaged in their learning.

�  A place where all students can get

a personalized education

1. Video introduces topic, class time

expands on it

2. Video interlude introduces a problem or

a challenge

3. Video introduces homework

4. Video prompts reflection

5. Students teach with video

Create an engaging, interactive

environment that is student- centered.

Make the best use of your face- to-face time with

your students.

Practice, application, and

working with content is done inside of class.

Focus on deeper meaning

and connections, not

just basic rote memorization and practice.

1.  Started with the end in

mind

2.  Kept it simple

3.  Connected, connected,

connected

4.  Used other available

resources for videos
