Flipped Learning Classroom – Concept, Ideas and Examples

Please don't hesitate to write an email for suggestion, ideas, advice, support, critics and even training workshop for teachers. My email address is [email protected] What is the Flipped Classroom? Conceptually, the flipped classroom inverts the traditional learning experience. Lectures are shared outside of class time for individual review as homework, and classroom time is reserved for students to complete assignments and activities. The principal goals of flipping are: To make the classroom an active learning environment To enable students to learn at their own pace, and To give the instructor more time to teach each student individually, rather than the class as a whole. The traditional classroom format requires teachers to spend a significant amount of class time presenting information, typically simply standing in front of a room delivering a lecture or lesson. Students sit and (to one degree or another) scribble down notes, passively receiving information at whatever speed the instructor presented. Later, after students have left the classroom and lost easy access to their teacher and peers, they are then challenged to attempt to apply the day’s lesson in individual homework assignments. Good teachers, of course, work to read their classes’ levels of comprehension in real-time during lectures, and make adjustments to find the right speed at which to teach the average student. Likewise, attentive instructors monitor students’ understanding of the subject as demonstrated in homework, and curve the classroom to cover what will be most valuable for most students. However, many educators (and parents) today have begun voicing concerns that this “teaching to the middle” can only ever be a one-size-fits-all approach, and will nearly always fail students at the top and the bottom. And that’s what makes a flipped classroom so promising. By shifting passive lecture material to the at-home setting, students are given the chance to review those materials in the time and place that works best for their own needs, and to go back over important or unclear details as often as needed until they’re well understood. This, in turn, helps students to ensure they have all the foundational information they need in order to participate in interactive learning discussions and activities that push them to apply what they have learned. Then, with in-class time reserved interactive discussion and learning, teacher-guided activities push students to put the lecture materials into practice. This classroom time may be dedicated to group work, comprehension tests, in-depth application of the subject matter, or just open time for individual assignments, all with the added benefit of having a teacher and fellow students nearby to respond when questions come up. #flippedlearning , #flippedclassroom , #education , #teachingandlearning , #activelearning , #studentengagement , #digitallearning , #blendedlearning , #teachingstrategies , #teachingmethods , #teachingtips , #educationalvideos , #teacherresources , #teachinginnovation , #teachinginspiration , #teachingideas , #teachingpractices , #teachingcommunity , #teachingmoments , #TeachingMastery, #TeachingExperiences, #teachingjourney , #teachingprofession , #educationreform , #studentmotivation , #teacherlife , #educationsystem , #teachinggoals , #TeachingObjectives, #TeachingEffectiveness, #teachingskills , #teachingpedagogy , #TeachingLeadership, #TeachingDevelopment, #educationalleadership , #StudentGrowth, #teachingandlearning , #teachingsuccess , #TeachingReflection, #ConceptOfFlippedLearning, #FlippedClassroomIdeas, #FlippedLearningExamples, #FlippedInstruction, #technologyineducation , #studentcenteredlearning , #studentcenteredlearning , #selfdirectedlearning , #flexiblelearning , #collaborativelearning , #FlippedLearningBenefits
