The flipped classroom is not a new idea, but it’s one that continues to grow in relevance as teachers search for ways to maximise contact time, build learner independence, and make every minute in class count. In our recent Deep Dive Wednesday, we explored how the flipped classroom model, supported by TeacherMatic, can transform teaching and learning.

What is the Flipped Classroom Model?

At its core, the flipped classroom turns the traditional approach on its head. Instead of delivering content in class and assigning practice at home, teachers provide core content before the lesson. Learners come to class prepared, ready to use that time for collaboration, discussion, and problem-solving. Crucially, it’s not “just homework.” Homework tends to be about practising something already taught. Flipped learning is about preparation, equipping students to make the most of valuable classroom time. In this model, teachers act more as facilitators than lecturers, guiding learners through activities that demand deeper thinking. A Brief History The model was popularised in the mid-2000s by Jon Bergmann and Aaron Sams, who began recording their lectures for absent students. Over time, flipped learning grew alongside digital tools, video content, and interactive resources, opening up new opportunities for active learning both in and outside the classroom.

Maximising Classroom Time

The flipped model aligns perfectly with Bloom’s Taxonomy. Lower-order tasks such as remembering and understanding happen at home, while higher-order skills like analysing, evaluating, and creating happen in class. This frees up precious contact time for learners to work together, apply knowledge, and deepen their understanding through real problem-solving.

The Benefits

Teachers and students alike see real value in this approach:

• Maximised classroom time for activities that matter most.
• Greater collaboration and engagement, with learners working together in class.
• Support for differentiation, as students can learn at their own pace before class.
• Stronger formative assessment, as teachers can use class time to check understanding and address gaps.

Why Use AI in Flipped Learning?

This is where TeacherMatic makes a real difference. One of the biggest challenges for teachers is creating and curating resources to support flipped learning. With over 150 generators, TeacherMatic can instantly create quizzes, worksheets, and resources that are tailored to your learners’ needs. Better still, you can export these straight into Microsoft Forms, Google Forms, Kahoot, or your LMS. That means less time spent preparing and more time focused on teaching.

Bringing It All Together

In our live demo, we showed how quickly teachers can create a flipped learning resource using TeacherMatic. The result? Tools that are simple to set up, engaging for learners, and adaptable across subjects.

Final Thoughts

Flipped learning is all about making the most of your time with students. With TeacherMatic, teachers can save hours of preparation while giving learners richer, more interactive classroom experiences.
