The Flipped Classroom:
What is a flipped classroom?
The flipped classroom is a model of learning where students watch content-related videos on their own time, freeing up classroom time for questions and discussion, group work, experiments, and hands-on and other experiential activities. The Flipped Classroom has jumped onto the education radar in recent years as a way to potentially change pedagogical and instructional practices by utilizing emerging technologies. Technology has become a tool that we use daily. It’s not entirely technology that is transforming classrooms, it’s also how we are using the technology to accomplish this transformation.
Flip Your Classroom with Blogs:
What you are doing right now can transform your classroom! Yes, blogging is definitely a way to engage your students and get them involved in the learning process. I’m considered to be old school (grew up with paper and pencil type of education), yet here I am writing a blog. This is something I never envisioned myself doing and that is proof enough for me that teaching with the help of technology has and is transforming education and I am very excited to be a part of that transformation!
