I have heard of traditional learning, online learning, and technology integration, but I have never heard of a flipped classroom prior to this week.
A flipped classroom is essentially flipping where students learn and where they have practiced what they have learned. Traditionally, students will sit through lessons in the classroom and they will practice and apply what they have learned at home on a homework assignment. In flipped classrooms, students will watch a lesson at home and when they come to school they will practice what they have learned. This approach allows for much greater differentiation in the classroom. Students can work at their own pace to fully understand a topic. Students can then receive greater support and feedback from their teachers as they are working. This greatly decreases the amount of frustration that students face when working. Flipped classrooms have been proven to lessen the amount of students who fail their classes as well as decreasing the misbehavior in classrooms. Overall, I think that flipped classrooms are extremely interesting. I think that they can be extremely beneficial when correctly implemented. I would like to try using the flipped classroom approach in my own classroom one day. I may start by trying the approach with a couple of lessons. If it goes well and I see that it benefits my students, I would love to use it more often. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about flipped classrooms this week.
