I am fascinated by this concept and have some components already in place. I am struggling to find the most interactive and engaging learning methods for the F2F.
Using many new tools and technologies allows this format of learning to be even more effective.
pre-recorded lectures need to be short and to the point... 15 minutes or less
no flipped classroom experience is the same... mix it up
Promotes student-centered learning.
I learned techniques that can be used like SMART board and whiteboards to help implement objectives, rather than only focusing on prerecorded videos or lectures.
I really like that the flipped model allows for students to learn at their own pace - which is different for everybody - and that they get to be more involved with the material.
Overall, I like the fundamental concepts of this model, but I do see barriers with varying technologies in each student's home and varying levels of accountability and responsibility within the students.
Student centered methods is a great concept. It forces them to participate in lessons and allows their peers to assist them when needed. Students can collaborate to reach the destination. Students are sometimes reluctant to ask the Instructor if they are not following or missed something. they seem to be more comfortable asking their peers so focusing on getting the information to those listening can be beneficial to assist.
As a little behind in the newer technologies, good to see the course list TechSmith and SMART Technologies as starting points.
Flipped classrooms are more engaging than traditional F2F instruction.
Technology has a huge influence on the flipped classroom
once again the flipped classroom can be so advantageous to any instructor it is just a matter of lining the course objectives with the online videos and making sure that the student comprehends the material before they can move on. I also see an opportunity to due some sort of case study project that is done remotely and thendiscussed in class to solidfy the learning out comes of each item.
Pre-recorded videos should be no more than 15 minutes to keep the student engaged.
The components to consider in an effective flipped classroom are a) enduring adequate professional development of all instructors involved , b) proper access to technology sources, (software and hardware) to deliver pre-recorded lessons, c) theoretical frameworks that lend themselves to the style of a flipped classroom d) it must work around the concept ot student-centered learning to have a face-to-face (F2F) component for the instructor to facilitate and ensure the correct concepts are learned by the student in a collaborative and engaging environment.
There are 4 components of the Flipped Classroom
Professional development
Intentionally provided content
Flexible blended learning environment
Reconstructed Learning Environment.
I also learned that technology needs a human touch for it to work effectively. Than even though there is endless selection of technology, teaching should not rely on that one component.
This module was very imformative. It provided a great deal of information on how to structure and prepare a flipped classroom.
Technology is an integral part of the flipped classroom; more of a crutch, to help garner the learning experience
I learned that there is not "the" flipped classroom, but "a" flipped classroom. The concept is an adaptable method.
Wiith the internet there is a wide varity that can be used for the videos and new information for the online learning.
A flipped classroom is good for certain courses.
The multiple technologies available for recording and flipping the classroom are designed to make it interesting and convenient. The student love having the opportunity to listen to the lectures over and over. I plan to develop more activities for class times.
