Hey, guys! This week was another crazy week....lots of assignments due! We learned all about flipped classroom this week. Honestly,I love it!! I will totally use it in my classroom. I would like to use it in correlation with traditional classroom settings. There are some things I feel need to be taught in the classroom. After doing my research, I had no idea that there was so much controversy over the subject. It seems like older teachers and some parents are saying NO WAY!! While others are jumping on the bandwagon as a great source to utilize for students. I like the fact that my students can be observed at home by their parents. **No more parent teacher conferences about why little Billy says he isn't being taught**
Yes, there are some difficulties with not having internet at home but most school systems are solving that actively. If I need to, I will download the audio files to an MP3 player and let them listen that way. If you truly believe in it, you can make it work.
There is so much research to do before you start this in the classroom. I think integrating it over a few years it a great way to start.
I thought this assignment was so fun! I love creating content through technology. These technology courses are tough, but are by far my favorite. I am uploading my flipped classroom video....I hope you enjoy! **You will have to download the file**
