Introduction to the Flipped Classroom
In the flipped classroom model, students learn the material at home through videos, readings, or lectures and then come to class to engage in interactive activities, discussions, or problem-solving. This shifts the focus from passive learning to active participation.
Best Suited For:
Flipped classrooms work well in subjects like math, science, or literature, where class time can be used for deeper exploration and application of concepts.
Technology to Enhance Flipped Classrooms:
- Edpuzzle for interactive video lessons.
- Kahoot! for real-time in-class quizzes.
On-the-Go/Travel-Friendly Solutions:
- YouTube or Google Classroom for mobile-friendly lecture videos and materials.
AI-Proofing/Flaw:
AI may assist students in watching lectures or completing homework quickly. However, true learning in the flipped classroom happens during class activities, where students demonstrate understanding. In-class assessments and discussions that showcase critical thinking are essential to ensuring AI doesn’t undermine the model.
