(Infographic from http://www.knewton.com/flipped-classroom/)

Flipped Learning is a method of teaching that turns the traditional classroom model on its head. A Flipped classroom switches the teaching method- delivering the content of a lesson online outside of the classroom, and using the classroom time to embed the learning. Click here for an infographic on the main features of Flipped Learning.

The following video shows a Flipped Classroom in action, with pupils using a range of personal mobile devices to support and demonstrate their learning.

There are thousands of apps and online tools available to download and use on mobile devices, but which are the best, and how can you use them with pupils?

This blog contains a section on Device Neutral Assignments, allowing staff and pupils to select a tool that will work on their device to achieve a task.

As the use of mobile devices for learning evolves in Falkirk Council, we’d love to hear about the latest and greatest apps and tools you are using with pupils, and share the best tools to support staff and pupils.
