I know that it is a true fact that Net Generation will run quickly to a cell phone to find the answers to a question they may struggle with, and Baby Boomers will rack their brain until they have found the correct answer. My students constanly run to their cell phones if we are having a classroom disscusion about something we have previously went over or if they want to prove me wrong.
A flipped classroom is something that I will definitly be trying with my students, because giving them the opportunity to actually do a little research outside of the class and then being able to come to class and actually be excited about the content of the subject will allow me to keep them engaged.
I also like it because most of what we do is hands on but if they actually research some of what we do it will motivate them more. My students loove a challenge.
I also like the idea that technology can provide a method for students to interact with each other outside of the classroom as well as their teacher.
