Flipped Learning

A video that may help, this video gives a great explanation on what this topic is and how to apply it to the class room. Flipped learning is when a teacher creates the lesson before hand, like by creating video, teachers may also use like a power point, and posting for the students to watch the day before so then when they come in the next day they already know the lesson and the teacher can help the students who did not understand as well.

This way of teaching gives time for more one on one learning, discussed on Techsmith.  On the website Flipped learning Turning learning on its head, is give a lot of information about what flipped learning is, by others blog post, there is a range of information given on these peoples post that will help one understand what its is, the post on it also give other web sites that may help someone. On the web site Flipped learning Network, it discuses what the goals of flipped learning is, professional learning opportunities, it also has peoples comments on how to use this kind of learning for different courses. A great tool to learn how to flip a class room is the edted website, gives a well drawn out video on how to use the tools to create a flipped lesson. I also  found another site that discusses how flipped learning was created.

With this kind of learning there are going to be the disadvantages and advantages. With the disadvantages there is a chance some low income families are not able to access the information that is posted online. Also some students may not have the drive to participate outside of class. The advantages of this are, that you are able to utilize class time to support the lesson. Also students are able to work at their own pace. The teacher is able to identify which students do not understand the subject as well.

Would I use this inside a future classroom? Yes, I would. The reason I would use this is because I wish to be a science teacher. By using this method for this subject it would give more of an opportunity to have more experiment, and project time, for students to comprehend the lesson.
