What is the best use of teacher face to face time? Videos or other resources are used to pre-teach concepts freeing up teacher face to face time for more individualized learning. No more lectures!
A flip classroom hears more from the students.
Higher end of Blooms happens in collaborative learning. Lower end of Blooms happens in independent learning.
Students first interaction with information does not come from the teacher.
Identify what is good direct instruction.
Front load direct instruction (videos etc) whenever possible. Videos are helpful to parents for home support.
PD: Front load videos for teacher learning.
Embed inquiry to raise student interest and motivation and then front load videos to build background knowledge.
Flipping is just not about using videos - it is flipping the role of teacher and student with the learning process.
I really like the concept of the flipped classroom . I think we should find a couple of teachers that are willing and ready to move in this direction.
