Approach and implementation
3 workshops carried out with appr. 30 participants per session. Four main questions in focus: how to select what is to be flipped? How to create videos? How to create formative quizzes? How to plan the subsequent lesson? Great interest and several teachers have already started. Another three municipalities involved right now. Great interest even outside the workshops. One article published and attention given in local radio stations. Presentation of the project to all heads of schools in Region Skåne, which resulted in additional participants.
