A flipped classroom is something we hear about today and how we can shape
our classroom, but in reality it is not flipped classrooms but flipped
learning. There are many complaints about doing it because the term has
been used wrong. Teachers has been using flipped classrooms since the 1950s,
but never really called it that all it is, is using more modern technology in
classrooms. A class is where to get help and home is where they practice and
that is the same as a flipped classroom just with more modern technology used.
The video system in a flipped learning environment is not to give instruction,
but to create engagement in the student’s deeper learning. We need to learn how
to apply flipped learning well in our classroom and not just put all lectures
in video because if they are boring in class then they are more boring on
video. We need to be able to use the flipped learning style in the right way
because in each classroom the flipped learning will look different. A
flipped classroom, flipped learning, is not different from a traditional
classroom it still contains the same important elements relationships, content,
and curiosity.
As a future educator I have always wonder why flipped classroom or in this article
flipped learning? I myself am behind on technology and am not a fan of it, but
if that what is takes for my students I would consider it. I would use some of
the concepts that a flipped learning environment has and mix it with a
traditional classroom setting. I would try to implement both concepts and it is
a worthwhile talking about it because we are in a modern world where most of
the students are growing in knowledge with technology. It is very important topic because our students need the best of learning and gaining knowledge and we should adjust to our students needs in order for them to strive.
