Hello Everyone!
I recently came across this photo and I really wanted to share it! My encounter with the flipped classroom model in my Teacher's Education has been very enlightening. The Flipped Classroom allows teachers to work alongside students while they do their work in the classroom, rather than lecturing them and sending them home to do their work by themselves.
Kathleen Fulton (2012) listed the following as advantages of the flipped classroom:
(1) students move at their own pace
(2) doing “homework” in class gives teachers better insight into student difficulties and learning styles
(3) teachers can more easily customize and update the curriculum and provide it to students 24/7
(4) classroom time can be used more effectively and creatively
(5) teachers using the method report seeing increased levels of student achievement, interest, and engagement.
As a teacher in the 21st Century, what a great idea to film lectures, upload PowerPoint slides and create online forums! Students can go home and learn the material before coming to class, thus allowing for group work, communication and more active forms of learning. Also, the flipped classroom allows for teachers to figure out what individual students are struggling with, thus accommodating for everyone's individual needs.

This video explains the benefits of the Flipped Classroom very effectively!
There has been many studies that show the Flipped Classroom is extremely effective in assisting at risk students (This was retrieved from the link listed above:The Flipped Classroom)
