New twist in education: 'Flipped classroom' makes homework an in-school effort, puts lectures online
Thursday, January 05, 2012
The ‘flipped classroom’ concept sounds like a great change in the school system. Being a high school student I’m used to the normal setting of lectures and homework that night. If I had the resource of a video that I could watch multiple times, and a class spend completing the homework I can imagine the information would just click. There has been so many times where I have gone home and totally forgot my lessons, but with the flipped classroom format that would be eliminated. Innovations in teaching can change the way students learn forever. Just because the traditional classroom setting has worked for so long doesn’t mean it’s the most effective way. This revamp that some teachers have embraced comes at a time where technology is becoming even more of a staple of our everyday lives, so therefore why not embrace a teaching strategy that revolves around technology.
