The critical argument for flipped learning and later school start times in 1000 pixelated words. #touche #edushift

ReplyDeleteListening to a lecture is better than giving it. #naptime
ReplyDeleteTravis Retzlaff "Flipped" classrooms only work if students actually do what they need to do outside of class, and I've found that to be rather unreliable.
ReplyDeleteGood point, one style doesn't fit all educational needs. For those with the resources and support it's a great model for everyone involved.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Cobb The concept is, instead of lecturing to students when they're in class to introduce material to them, they get that introduction by reading on their own outside of class and then use class time for homework, interactive groupwork, or experiments. It's good in theory and can work if the vast majority of students actually are diligent about reading before class, but that hasn't been something I've observed most students do often enough for "flipped" to work. I've used the concept a little, but mostly to mix up my class sessions and avoid monotony.

8am classes only have the latter 3 stages.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a lad, I considered registration successful only if my first class began at 10 am.
ReplyDeleteLOL. True observation. I have to teach an 8 am seminar again next semester :P
