It is important to remember that the flipped classroom is not all about pre-recorded lectures, videos, and technology. It’s about learning. A properly designed flipped classroom doesn’t replace a teacher, but gives the instructor and his/her students more flexibility in a restructured learning environment.
be patient with technology use it were needed doesnt take place of humans
students watch pre recoreded lectures and asked questions to assess their understanding.
instructors during In Class time can ask probing questions, assign groups to discuss content and Why it is the answers and the flexible blended learning enviornment becomes a great assett to allow for more Student centered learning while the instructor's professional skills can be offered to deepen what they learned online.
So,to be honest, I thought that this course will be something boring but actually absolutley not :) I found a lot of very interesting and helpful informations, tips and tricks. I like the idea that students can watch the pre recorded vidoes and educators ask them to take notes, when they come back to class educators can collect their notes and review the top 3 notes as they listed important. Initiate a discussion about these notes and even asking them, why they thought that those informations are crucial. So they can't just watch the videos and think, they are completed a lesson. I learned that a Flipped Classroom not going to replace the instructor but giving more flexibility to the students and the instructor as well and in a Flipped classroom is not all about technology and pre recorded lessons, is about a student centered environment.
There are many ways to flip the classroom and many tools available to utilize in terms of software and storage. Developing the customized flipped classroom that best suits our own individual audience is imperative for the student centered learning engagement.
There are many ways to make flipping classrom work for you. Opend discutions, debates, etc are just a few examples of how you can incorporate a great idea to the classroom.
I like the approach that there is not The flipped classroom, but A flipped classroom. For me, in particular, this is good to remember. It helps me remember that every instructor and every level of learning my adapt it in the way that works best for them, even if that is adding things slowly so that it is easier to assimilate for all the stakeholders.
Flipped classrooms add some changes for sure.
I think the flipped model is very unique and engaging, and I'm glad I was able to learn about it and methodology for implementing it. There are some aspects that'd I'd like to incorporate in my courses, specifically supplemental materials for students to look into and return to discuss in person.
Reply to Brad Kerr's post: Truly, the pandemic has certainly revealed the disparities between what students have or don't have access to.
Student "access" to the pre-recorded lecture material is very hard to guarantee. My biggest question would be how much time do you spend going over what should have been watched at home while other students are eagerly waiting to move on and get more in-depth with the material. I love the idea of a flipped classroom but there are a lot of logistical headaches if you truly are making sure each student has equa accessibilit.
There are many factors that go into flipping a classroom, for one is the amount of technology and reliable internet the students have available. Therefore the effort needs to be student-based learning to allow them the opportunity to absorb the content at their pace.
Components of the flipped classroom include technology, but also the instructor's ability to introduce the content so the students understand what they are looking for, or taking away from it, the ability to monitor that students are actually viewing the resources outside of class, and the ability to assess what they are learning. Instructors muswt also understand how they will run the classroom portion and plan activities that will actually take the knowledge and comprehension learning of the pre-recorded lectures or other resources to the higher application level.
I'm really liking this module. It gives me a lot of ideas on how I can attempt to engage my students rather than bore them to tears. I remember sitting in those seats, it was difficult! I wasn't engaged in the least. I want to give my students what I was never given myself.
Flipping the classroom will improve the learning process for students allowing them to think more deeply about the content. In addition, placing students in groups while completing homework keeps students engaged and stimulates critical thinking.
Each instructor needs to find the correct version of flipping the classroom.
The multiple options motivate me!
Flipping the classroom is a fundamental strategy that when used correctly should eleviate learning potential for the student. Utilizing the different techniques of Flipping a classroom can also address individual student issues such as maiting focus and attention. And bottom line, if it is good for the student's learning, then it should raises the learning of the class as a whole as well!!
I learned that the flipped classroom is more student centered.
I appreciated the information about the various learning theories and models that informed and validate the use of the flipped classroom. It helped to solidify for me the sound reasoning for using this method and the many advantages to implementing it in the classroom.
