Flipping Your Classroom --> Components of the Flipped Classroom
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Flipped learning involves purposeful pre-class preparation, engaging learning materials, accountability for student preparation, and meaningful in-class activities that focus on application, analysis, and problem-solving.
A flipped classroom allows student-centered learning, where students will think deeply about the content. A flipped classroom allows for time, face-to-face, to problem-solve, work collaboratively, or practice specific skills.
The model supports a shift from instructor-centered teaching to student-centered learning, where classroom time is devoted to active learning, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
This approach encourages students to take a more active role in their learning and provides opportunities for deeper engagement with course material.
Prerecorded short lectures and short quizzes should help to free more time in the classroom for students' questions and other activities.
Why is this the 3rd time I am receiving the same prompt of "post what you have learned"? There aren't even pointed questions during this course? Does anyone even read these comments? Do they even count towards completion of this course? Do our answers matter at all? This course is very uninspired.
The components of the "flipped classroom" have been repeated ad nauseam throughout this course already. Technology, student retention, student centered classes, flexibility, professional development, restructured learning environments, et cetera, et cetera. Once again, I do not see these concepts as mutually inclusive to the "flipped classroom" method and I feel you can incorporate these concepts into a traditional class with little effort. At the end of the day, the quality of the course is on the instructor and the curriculum, not the medium in which these are presented. A bad instructor is boring, ignorant, and lazy; whether that be in person or online changes nothing.
It is important to make pre-recorded lectures short (10 minutes or less) lectures so to keep the students’ full attention for a period of time and not create a boring environment
Ptre-recorded lectures should be in short sections in an effort to keep the attention of the students.
Pre-recorded lectures should be <10 minutes and it’s essential to carefully balance what happens online and in the classroom by considering the course objectives.
The flipped classroom approach allows students to be accountable for their learning, and teachers can be available to guide and direct the students to be successful.
LMS will implement the flipped classroom.
Pre-recorded lectures should be <10 minutes. You need to be adaptable and know that many different things can be done to make flipped learning successful.
I plan to create intentional pre-recorded content and use class time for interactive activities to push students to think critically and collaborate with their peers.
Our LMS (Canvas) can help me flip the classroom by recording lectures and adding reading material to modules that students can work through before coming to class.
Flipped classrooms are the way to go. It gets the information to the students at their own pace and then you can use their new knowledge to expand what they know in the classroom setting.
There are several LMS systems to help implement the flipped classroom.
Our software package has licenses with use only on campus. I have made short <15 minute videos with activities they can review at home, then do them in class. I guess I'm already using the flipped classroom(!)
The F2F component has so much more flexibility to meet student need with the online lectures being required homework (unless of course students don't do their homework).
I learned that flipped classroom will allow for more time during class to clarify the muddy points and apply the information in real time.
