At the time, online video was still new but the two thought it a good idea to help students who miss class and or need review, especially those who spend much time bussing to and from school. They began to record their live classes with screen capture software and posted the lectures online where students could see it on a computer to download it onto their iPods. At first it allowed them to direct students to videos instead of reteaching material in class. Soon they found that even students who had attended class reviewed the videos, including before exams.

and where they learn, a learning culture where students actively participate, focus on taking maximum advantage of class time, and an education who constantly observes and provides feedback. According to Sams, “Students can take these anywhere, even on a bus to a soccer game. They can get their chemistry lesson and they essentially have a pause button for their teacher. They can pause, write down questions and come prepared.” It also allows the student to move at their own pace and not letting them move on until they demonstrate mastery of the current concepts.

Since then he has spoken at conferences and trained teachers at schools, districts and universities in various parts of the United States, Canada and Europe. Sams does not take credit for the term “flipped classroom” stating along with
Bergman that the term arose in the media.

It was Sams’ idea to record all lecture and dedicate classroom time to questions, exercises and active lab work, which is the center of the notion of flipped classroom and the two teachers did so for the 2007–2008 school year for all their chemistry and
