The Flipped Classroom

This week in ED 307 I learned about Module 2: The Flipped Classroom. A flipped classroom involves the lesson being taught outside of the classroom. The time in the classroom will be spent on activities and discussions. The main goal of a flipped classroom is to enhance student learning and achievement. Class time is spent on student understanding rather than on lecture. I made a video explaining what a flipped classroom is and the benefits of a flipped classroom. 
Flipped classrooms are becoming more and more popular today. There are many benefits for both students and teachers. 

Benefits for students:

  • personalized learning
  • self-paced learning
  • better prepared
  • 21st century skills
  • more engaged

Benefits for teachers:

  • saves time
  • better support for students
  • more class discussion time
  • more transparency for parents
  • students are more engaged

My Thoughts

The first time I heard of the flipped classroom strategy was in high school. I never was actually taught using the flipped classroom approach, but I had a teacher explain how she was going to try it the next school year. 
I think flipped classroom is a great strategy. I do not think it should be used for every single lesson, but I am excited to try it out! Before this module, when I thought of a flipped classroom I thought of students watching a video lecture at home. Although this is very common, I learned that there are many other ways students can view a lesson. There are class discussion boards, interactive assignments, animated videos, etc. I do not think I would like having a completely flipped classroom. If I feel like the traditional classroom setting will better benefit the students than a flipped approach, I will do that. I want to always use strategies and approaches for the benefit of my students.
