In my class I use YouTube videos as well as show them a demo on each and every lab we do.
I am new to flipping the classroom, but I figure it will take a lot of planning and time to deliver a learning experience that the student will enjoy.
I learned the different steps to do a reverse salon. Additionally, different methods and strategies and their management.
I am a new instructor also, I am passionate about making sure my students get the right information and will make sure they understand information before i move forward by making them feel comfortable about learning what is front of them. The methods given I'm sure will become a valued asset to better myself to be a better instructor for each one .
I've learned what a flipped classroom environment is and how to implement it in reality. I'm not sure if I can actually do it, but it is definitely something I'm going to look at more and see if there are a few instances in which I can utilize this format.
Comment on Dulce Cazares's post: I like to use Kahoot.com for they to create questions for their peers and lead the process for a certain topic. This often gets them engaged to learn the material better to be able to teach it
I think this concept would enforce the theory of the classroom being a community and safe space for the students. I think it would be a challenge for some instructors as this is a new way of thinking and concept to grasp.
Comment on Brandalyn Harper's post: I like the way you described taking more of a hybrid approach to integrate the flip. This is what I was thinking when I considered how I could implement this with my instructors. One thing at a time!
While it seems at first glance that this method may be too much of a challenge due to the time needed to be spent outside of class, it really should not affect the students' schedules much. If you take away the time they need to spend on homework, you can substitute that time for the reading, etc. ahead of class. It will take some time to transition, but it seems like at a minimum, a hybrid of traditional class time and flipped could be fairly easily achieved.
I will be asking my instructors to find a way to incorporate an activity in place of a portion of their lecture to see how students respond. I really believe that adding "interesting" things to class keeps students engaged, active, interested, and persisting. Who wants to go to class for four straight hours of death-by-powerpoint? I know I don't!
Does anyone have experience with a successful transition to a flipped classroom in a two-year, non-traditional learning environment?
I've been teaching for a while; however, I like this method because it allows the student more interaction with each other and learn together as well as more time to apply what they've learned singularly and collectively as a whole.
Many of my instructors have struggled to get students to do assigned reading outside class. I think that including some mini-assessments along the student's path through the material would help them to know they are on course and persist in finishing their reading assignments. I also like the idea of posting videos (created or curated) to help students understand what they are reading outside class.
I have learned the different steps that can be used to work the inverted salon. In addition, the different methodologies and strategies and the management of each of them.
This method is very useful as it enables students to better use their time and resources to do progressively more each year.
I am fairly new to academia. The flipped classroom goes along with active learning for students which I truly feel benefits the students. I like the 3 steps. It is clear and organized and it allows me to look at existing material I am teaching and break down a topic into these 3 steps to foster this flipped classroom. The only issue I see with this is having the students engage in step 1. Doing the necessary work at home. Sometimes I have difficulty having students read case studies at home so when they come to class we are prepared and ready to talk about interventions etc.
I have been doing this already in one aspect, I have been assigning reading outside class and quizzing on the reading PRIOR to my Lecture. I did not know it had a name, but my goal was to increase participation in outside reading, and having a quiz on the reading materials prior to lecture was a way for me to assess their engagement with the reading.
I have applied some of these techniques to my classroom, but was unable to fully flip due to students not having consistent computer and internet access at home. If that were available, I would enjoy utilizing the flipped classroom, because I think it would be very beneficial for students and teachers.
This is a fabulous approach and one that I am seeing more of in classrooms. I would like to work on turning my class 100 % and will enjoy the benefits for both the students and myself.
This method would be useful and I believe would create more interaction that is needed in today's society. We are used to using technology so often that some forget how to have a face to face conversation and I think this would help in that aspect.
I hope to flip the classroom to keep my students engaged.
