Flipped Classroom

I think having a Flipped Classroom would be a great way to implement the instruction in a new way. If I were to implement this in my future classroom, I would make it fun. I would have the students play an interactive game to go along with their Math. I would have the students make up a cute story book to go along with a Language Arts lesson. Another way I could use a Flipped Classroom as a performance assessment. The students could record themselves explaining their research topic and make their own tutorial and teach the rest of the class. Students would get creative and be highly engaged in making their movie and lesson fun. Students love to create things and they love technology so why not integrate the both concepts together? I love flipped videos and I think it is a great way to have the students reflect on the material and learn more about it one on one. By having the students summarize they are retelling the material which is on the lower level of Bloom's. When the students arrive in the class they can discuss the topic and give their opinion on the matter. The teacher will then be able to address more higher level thinking activities to promote connections and be able to analyze and compare the material with other concepts. This is directly aligned in the Common Core Standards and is aligned with the new PARCC assessment for Language Arts and Math.

  1. A flipped classroom is a great way to get more teacher student interaction, which leads to being able to make your classroom more enjoyable to the students. I think that making a classroom fun is a great way to keep your students involved and interested, I hope that a flipped classroom would be able to help you with that, it sounds like you have a lot of good ideas.
