As we learned in the flipped classroom model, the instruction takes place at home online with either pre-recorded videos by the teacher or other pre-made instructional videos, and the learning is applied in class with the teacher face-to-face. But what if students don't have access to the internet or devices at home? This is where the Faux Flipped Classroom model is being employed. The faux flipped classroom still employs the use of online instruction, but it's done in the classroom opposed to at home.
Below are two examples of how a fourth grade teacher from Florida and a second grade teacher from Texas used the faux flipped model in their classrooms.

Things to consider when implementing a faux flipped model
Length of the video- Keep your learner's attention span in mind. Keep the video short and focus on one objective. This recommendation comes from the pioneer of the Flipped Classroom movement Jon Bergmann.
Don't abandon your learners- Although you can find instructional videos through a variety of resources, your learners still want to hear from you.
Make your students accountable for their learning- This is imperative! Part of students driving their learning is being able to account for their learning. Both videos above show how this can be done.
Start slow- This model requires a tremendous amount of thought and preparation. Perhaps starting with a few units of instruction the first year of implementation and adding on each year would be beneficial.
