The flipped classroom model is transforming traditional teaching by shifting lectures and direct instruction to home or online, allowing class time to focus on interactive activities, discussions, and problem-solving.

I’m curious to hear from fellow educators:
How have you integrated flipped learning into your lessons?
What tools or platforms do you use to deliver content outside the classroom?
What challenges did you face in getting students or parents on board?
What positive changes have you seen in student engagement, participation, or understanding?
Do you have any tips or best practices for making flipped classrooms successful?

Let’s share insights and help each other make the most of this innovative approach to teaching!

Flipped learning is an instructional approach and a type of blended learning that reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content, often online, outside of the classroom. In a flipped classroom, students engage with new material at home (via videos, readings, or other digital content) and then apply that knowledge in class through activities, discussions, and problem-solving with the teacher's guidance.
Flipped learning has positive impact of both learners and teachers.

types of flipped Learning

1. Video Based Flipped learning :

This is where video is assigned to learners with infused question to drag comprehension through online platforms like edpuzzles, Flipgrid,playposit,nearpod etc..
# 2. Games Based Flipped Learning:
This is where educational games like kahoot,Blooket,padket,Games based learning to engage learning whiles learning and understanding new concepts.
#3 TextBook Based Flipped Learning:
This is where student are been assigned or asked to read some articles, novels or even passage to get familiar and join the class with sufficient background.
4. # Research based Flipped Learning:
This is useful for new topic , here learners are made to do small or sometimes intensive research before coming to the class.
5. Project Based Flipped Learning:
This is where learners are assigned small project before the actual content in the class, learners are made to have first hand experience of the project before actually meeting in the classroom.
6. # Blog Based Flipped Learning :
This is where the teacher update his or her blog daily as learners follows and read content from there, learners are prepared enough before coming to the school.
7. Group Based Flipped Learning:
This encourages collaboration and health competition among students, learners are made to join the class after group discussion and outcomes.
8. # Faux Flipped learning:
This is aim at replacing the tradition homework with digital tool like laptop or online assignment and after learners are done one to one interaction is done by the teacher
Here leaners can work with his tablet or laptop.

*It is the best way to become more comfortable using digital tools and online resources.

• It can free up time for labs, debates and real life applications.
  What do you think about it? Do you use this method in teaching? Is it fruitful?

@MARIY0b647d9a23 Thank you for starting this meaningful conversation! I’ve been exploring the flipped classroom model by sharing short video lessons. It’s a powerful approach that helps shift the focus of classroom time to interactive discussions, group work, and deeper understanding of the content.

However, implementing this model in a rural area of Pakistan comes with its own set of challenges. One of the biggest hurdles I faced was the lack of internet access for many students. Additionally, digital literacy is very limited among both students and parents, which made it difficult for them to engage with the content outside the classroom.

Despite these challenges, I found that gradual training and consistent communication helped a lot. I started by using low data materials, like WhatsApp audio messages and printed guides, to ease the transition. Over time, as students became more familiar with the idea, their participation and confidence improved significantly.

My biggest takeaway is that even in resource-limited settings, with creativity and patience, the flipped classroom model can be adapted to benefit students. It's all about taking small, practical steps and building digital awareness in the community.

I prepared a short video explaining the water cycle and shared it with my students on WhatsApp before class. They watched it at home and came prepared with questions. During class, we had group activities where students created diagrams, explained each step, and solved quiz questions. They were more active, confident, and collaborative. This method saved class time for interaction and deeper learning.

I’ve recorded short lesson videos and shared them via WhatsApp and Google Drive. Students review the content at home, and we focus on practice and discussions during class.

Have you tried flipping your classroom? What tools help make it effective?

How flipping my class turned passive students into problem-solvers?

@Ridafatima95
Yes, I agree. Using digital tools makes learning more engaging and saves time for practical activities like labs and debates. I use this method in my teaching, and it’s very effective and helpful for students.

@Samuel-Atta-Okoh
Great explanation! You’ve clearly highlighted the concept and different types of flipped learning. It’s an innovative approach that truly enhances student engagement, promotes independent learning, and makes classroom time more meaningful and interactive. Thanks for sharing such useful insights!

Thank you for raising this valuable topic!

I’ve integrated flipped learning by recording short video lessons and sharing them via Google Classroom or WhatsApp. Tools like YouTube, help deliver content outside class. Initially, some students and parents struggled with the shift, but regular communication and simple instructions helped ease the transition.
In class, I now focus more on discussions and hands-on activities, which has greatly improved student engagement and understanding.The flipped model truly makes learning more active and meaningful!

@Ridafatima95
Absolutely, I agree!

The flipped classroom is a great way to get comfortable with digital tools while making learning more engaging. By shifting instruction outside class, I’ve found more time for labs, discussions, and hands-on activities. Yes, I use this method, and it has been very fruitful—students come to class better prepared and more involved. It truly enhances understanding and encourages active participation.

I had a very positive experience with the flipped classroom model. The parents were very cooperative, even though the children had limited resources like mobile phones and laptops. Still, they managed to access the required links by going to their relatives’ or friends’ houses and using their devices.
The next day, when they came to class and discussed what they had learned, I saw significant improvement in them. When I started teaching the same topic using traditional teaching methods, I noticed that the students who had already studied the content beforehand took notes more responsibly and came prepared to discuss the topic. This repeated exposure increased their understanding.

@DEXTE176e4f8265 That sounds like a great approach! Sharing the video beforehand clearly helped students engage more actively in class. It's a smart way to make learning more student-centered and effective

Flipped class room is time saving more engaging an interactive session with students.we can enhance creativity through creativity.

@Ahlam Flipping my class really changed how my students engaged with learning. Instead of just listening in class, they now come prepared and ready to think. Watching short videos or reviewing notes at home gives them time to absorb the basics at their own pace. Then, in class, we solve problems together, discuss ideas, and work through challenges. This shift made even my quiet, passive students more active they ask questions, help each other, and actually enjoy tackling problems. It gave them ownership and confidence, and turned my classroom into a space for real thinking, not just note-taking.

How far is "Creativity" skill important for school children?

Re: Flipped Classroom Implementation: Share Your Experiences!
I have applied Flipped Classroom approach to my teaching. I record my lectures and upload videos on my youtube channel youtube.com/gelccmatiari and ask students to watch videos on my youtube channel before coming to class. Moreover I've created whatsapp group of my class where I share videos of my youtube channel. The students watch these videos and come to classroom prepared. In classroom they take part in group work, pair work, discussion and presentation. This approach has enhanced students engagement and interest in learning. I've faced some challanges. These challanges include some students don't have access to internet and digital tools so they can't watch my videos, second challange is second language problem. Videos are in second language that is english so some students face to understand words properly. I comeover these challanges by making my videos shorter and understandable by using simple words so as students can understand. I've encouraged parrent's support and providing offline options.

@DEXTE176e4f8265 Nice idea this the best use of flipped classroom. In this method we can save our time by sending things as a homework.. I'll try this idea

Feeling like your classroom time could be used more effectively? Ever wish you had more one-on-one interaction with your teacher? Let's dive into the flipped classroom model and see how it can revolutionize learning!
In a nutshell, the flipped classroom reverses the traditional approach. Instead of lectures happening in class and homework done at home, students engage with learning materials (like videos or readings) before class. Then, classroom time becomes a dynamic space for discussion, activities, problem-solving, and deeper understanding! 🧑‍ <0xF0><0x9F><0x91><0xAB>
Think of the benefits:

• Learn at Your Own Pace: You can pause, rewind, and rewatch learning materials as many times as you need! ️ No more feeling left behind!
• More Active Classroom Time: Class transforms from passive listening to active participation! You get to apply what you've learned, ask questions, and collaborate with peers.
• Personalized Support: With the basic content absorbed beforehand, teachers have more time to provide individualized help and address specific student needs.
• Deeper Understanding: By actively engaging with the material in class, you move beyond just memorization to a more profound grasp of the concepts.🧠
