(Tucker, 2012).

3. Why flip anyway?
 Increased Class Sizes
 Not enough Class Time
 Was addressing the entire group instead of
individual needs
 Students getting stuck at home and just giving
up

4. The main course:
 Every flip lesson is centered around a video
covering the basic material. For my class, this
is the vocabulary and problem examples. It is
the lecture portion of the lesson.
 Students can go back for seconds or thirds!
 Extra resources if you don’t get it
 Ability to rewind and hear it again
 Students that move quickly can go on, while
students that move slower can take their time
without others waiting.
