Flipped classroom is an innovative methodology which flips the «classic» timings of teaching by moving the preliminary study of contents to the home (relying mainly on digital resources) in order to focus energy and time at school on the construction, re-elaboration and consolidation of knowledge. This approach enables real customisation of teaching, encouraging the inclusion of all pupils, allowing competence goals to be met and the correct use of digital tools and the Internet to be taught. The book illustrates the principle the method is based on with practical suggestions and tips (e.g. how to make or choose an effective educational video, how to manage an online platform etc.) and it presents 9 flipped classroom projects for lower secondary school related to the Italian, History and Geography curricula.

Each project comes with:

  • general presentation and presentation of objectives («What we are going to do» and «What we want to achieve»);
  • guide to carrying it out («Work phases, planning and resources»);
  • table of implementation of and instructions for the authentic task set («Teacher’s worksheet» and «Pupil’s worksheet»);
  • metacognitive tools («Worksheet for individual reflection on the project»);
  • assessment material («Assessment index» and «Self-assessment check-list»);
  • detailed references to online resources, videos and apps.
