This class will look at how flipped training can be used in the fire service. Flip teaching/training (or flipped classroom) is a form of blended learning which encompasses any use of technology to leverage the learning in a classroom, which allows an instructor to spend more time interacting with students instead of lecturing. This is most commonly being done using teacher-created videos that students view outside of class time. These methods are also referred to as backwards classroom, reverse instruction, flipping the classroom, and reverse teaching. In flip teaching, the student first studies the topic by himself, typically using video lessons created by the instructor or shared by another educator. Once in the classroom, the student then tries to apply the knowledge by solving problems and doing practical work. The instructor will answer the following in this presentation: what is flipped learning and how do you actually flip the classroom; how does flipped learning apply to the fire service; and how does one actually flip a fire service classroom.
