=Welcome to the Kent County Flipped Video Repository!= Here you will find a variety of videos that can be used to 'flip' your instruction. These videos have been created by local educators in Kent county. We hope that you find these videos helpful. //**More description...**//

Flipped Classroom Model
In the traditional model of classroom instruction, the teacher introduces new material during class and students practice what was taught at home. This works well for students that completely understand the concepts in class, but those students that do not fully understand the material either struggle to complete the homework or do not complete it. When these students come back to class, they are frustrated, not only with the teacher, but also with themselves. In order to assist these students, the teacher uses class time to help them better understand the material from the homework. While this is going on, the students who already understand the concepts are not learning. Realizing this problem, two teachers ( Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams ) came up with a new idea. Instead of delivering new content in class, they decided to create instructional videos that students would watch at home. When students returned to class the next day, they would practice the concepts that were introduced in the videos. This simple idea of 'flipping' instruction had such a positive impact on student learning that it quickly spread and is now being replicated across the globe.
