The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid transition to online learning environments, underscoring the importance of digital pedagogy and effective utilization of online tools. This presentation describes a course teaching unit, carried out in a teacher education college in central Israel, that aims to develop techno-pedagogical skills in different disciplines, fostering independent and collaborative learning. The unit constituted modelling for the flipped classroom strategy using constructivist teaching. The teaching unit is part of the course, "Teaching and Learning in Innovative Environments". This course facilitated practical techno-pedagogical knowledge acquisition over a semester, incorporating Moodle-based asynchronous and synchronous activities. A flipped classroom model, integrated with the Jigsaw method, was employed to promote collaborative group work and shared knowledge construction. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the presentation analyzes student-teachers' journals to uncover insights into the learning processes, outcomes, and efficacy of the flipped classroom approach in fostering collaborative learning. The unit was applied with 35 student-teachers from different disciplines online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The teaching method of the unit is described through the humanist theoretical lens, while highlighting the teaching and learning processes, the content knowledge, the techno-pedagogical environments and the learners' reflective insights. This process consolidates pedagogic models of teaching and learning methods according to a humanist, constructivist approach in an online learning environment.
