I look forward to producing video lectures for my students.
I believe this style of teaching is a better fit for the younger students we see in our schools today. By utilizing technology and reorganizing the order of the learning it is likely to get more engagement from students. I think this will be helpful for some of the students who struggle the most with the more conventional forms of teaching. Using technology in this way increases the chances that students will be dialed into the content.

start small and do step by step process when implementing
The importance of facilitating.
Flipping the classroom is a more modern, hands-on approach to learning. Students often learn better through practice. It is absolutely possible to remain the instructor but also let the students learn through conversation, peer-to-peer collaboration, and technology at their own pace.
Unfortunately we are severily affected by technology restrictions at our facility. Inmate network must be very tight in order to limit any possible security breaches. I cannot even show youtube videos due to the restrictions, so although there are some very good ideas in these lessons, I struggle to find work around solutions.
"New and Shiny" concepts really are recreations of former concepts, with a small twist. I do like the idea of variances in how to deliver content. Students must OWN their education, not just expect to be "spoon-fed" information. This method has great appeal to creating more student engagement, which I will definitely support.
Never get stuck in a teaching paradyne. utilize every tool in your posession to make your class as exciting as possible.
An instructor must be fully committed when deciding to flip the classroom.
This will be a collaboration between instructors and the administration to be sucessful. Ialso understand that there must be motivation on the students part. Overall it sounds like a win win situation
Instructors do not need to flip the whole class at once can start in stages.
Flipping a classroom (FC) is an innovative instructional strategy that is designed to engage students in a fleixble, blended learning environment with the purpose of enhancing the learning process. FC must be carefully planned and implemented and teachers involved must invest time in professional development. Some teachers who have never used any kind of technology or delivered blended instruction would naturally feel challenged with this new method of pedagoy; however, evide-based research has shown the engagement and collaborative nature of FC enables higher levels of learning in Bloom's Taxonomy markers with the engaged students. The students are given more control of their learning and the teacher is no longer the provider of information but rather a facilitator in the classroom and it becomes an expert guide. There should not be excuses used to prevent or procrastinate to adopt FC once committment to use this learning strategy is made; rather there should be a cause analysis study conducted to enure all stakeholder are well-equipped and trained and that tehcnology will suppor the learning. Teachers must prepare to adopt FC; they should not expect FC to transform them.Teachers will need to transform their teaching style by adopting FC and not the other way around. There are several emerging platforms to enable the pre-recorded lessons which should not be kept short (betwwen 5-15 mins max in length). There are always new and improved platforms or tools being used. Some fo the ones discussed in the lesson are Melot, Khan Academy, TeacherTube, Digital Learning Commons, etc. The latest used platforms include Edpuzzle , Quizizz , Google Classroom , Padlet , and others.
Flipped classroom is not the answer to all as it has some barriers like other pedagogical instructions.
Professional development is a component in order to start implementing the Flipped method. Instructors must be transformed first prior to the engaging to the method of teaching.
Proper training and professional development are necessary in implementing an effective flipped classroom.
I learned that with a flipped classroom, the students' role change from passive participants in the learning process where they are served by instructors to a role of active engagement.
Both students and instructors must understand the positive values of the flipped classroom. Instructors must the time to find the right material to use with the on line learning for the students. They must also act as the expert in the course in the classroom portion.
Schools are sharing a significant amount of curricula, resources, and learning materials. There is a growing variety of open content from various organizations and schools, and in many parts of the world,
its design is for flexible learning and adding more time for hands on
Transistioning to a flipped classroom takes a lot of relection and discussions of feedback for all involved. Learning to utilize the process to its fullest capacity and refining the way the instructor can deepen the content students absorb and how to implement it best while engaging them to their fullest commitments
