The flipped classroom model is a blended learning strategy used to present various topics, vocabulary, and instruction online. Students watch videos at home where they can control the pace of their learning, then they come to class prepared to apply that information in collaborative student-centered activities.

Instead of simply consuming information, we want students to think critically about that information. Design lessons that encourage students to ask questions, analyze the information, and discuss concepts with peers to begin making sense of the information they are receiving from the videos away from school. There are a variety of ways to do this.

Step 4: Add Questions to Get Students Thinking Critically

Open-ended Questions

Teachers can design open-ended questions to get students thinking more deeply about the information presented in the video. These open-ended questions are a great way to begin discussions in class the day after students have completed this assignment.

Multiple Choice Questions

Teachers can also create multiple-choice questions to see how well students are understanding and retaining the information they are watching. This is a quick way to assess students as they watch the video. It is also a good incentive to keep students attentive as they watch.
