What is the Flipped Classroom? By: Crystal Kirch
A classroom that uses videos/podcasts as instructional tools to help time-shift the instruction of concepts so students receive the most support (teacher and classmate presence) when they are working on the heaviest cognitive load (actually solving problems and working on understanding/using the content by themselves). (Crystal Kirch) Definition of a Flipped Classroom
Thoughts on the Flipped Classroom • Creating a "Flipped Classroom" is a constant work in progress • Using this ideology has the ultimate goal of increasing student understanding and ownership of the content. • This may look a little different in every class, this may look a little different every year… • We must constantly strive to find ways to help support our students in their learning and help them to develop into reflective, responsible, and self-directed learners!
Flipped Classroom vs. Traditional Classroom Traditional Classroom Flipped Classroom • Teacher teaches lesson in class • Students take notes. • Students receive some guided practice in class. • Students go home and complete problems independently for homework • Teacher teaches lesson at home (usually via video or podcast, but this can also be done through students reading articles, textbooks, looking at pictures, models, demonstrations, etc). • Students come to class ready to apply, discuss, and make connections with the content. • Students receive support, help, and clarification from the teacher as needed.
