When we “flip” our classrooms it can be a daunting experience. There is a shift in emphasis from the “teacher” as knowledge provider (Sage on the Stage) to a more equal participatory relationship (Guide on the Side). This talk explores the use of the “flipped classroom” model as a way of making best use of people, time and technology. Using the 4E framework (Thomson, 2012) as an approach for technology enhanced learning conversations, the session examines ways in which the flipped classroom can enrich the pedagogic experience for learner & teacher.
