The Flipped Classroom Explained with Learning to Surf Analogy

This video is a simple explanation of the flipped classroom for educators and students. It has been filmed in Hawaii in August 2016 during my holidays. Feel free to use it as an educational resource for your students.
Video script
Aloha! This is Jorge Reyna from the beautiful, sunny city of Honolulu in Hawaii; we are going to be learning about the flipped classroom. We gonna be using an analogy to explain the concept behind. If you are an educator or student, we encourage to watch this video.
Imagine you are going on holidays, and you decide to learn to surf, so when you go to the surf school you have three different choices:
The first choice is a lecture. The second choice is a lecture and practice at the beach, and the third choice is a pre-made video available a week before you start your lesson. So, you can engage in your own time, and you can practice the different positions at home, so you already have some knowledge when you go to the practice, and the instructor will help you to masters the posture.
So, which option you think you are going to learn better?
Option one which is a typical transmissive lecture, option two which is the lecture and the practice or option three which is a pre-made video that you can engage a week before the lesson.
Yes, you are right, option three, and this is what the flipping classroom is about. The key component of any flipping classroom intervention is called active learning.
