Flipped Classrooms

Recently I met with a retired teacher/administrator/many other education titles and we talked about differentiating instruction. She used a concept called the flipped classroom in a school where she was the principal. She explained that using a video camera the teachers created lessons for low achieving students to watch at home so the students would be exposed to the material before the rest of the class, so as to give them a jump start on the learning. I researched other schools using the flipped classroom and there are some interesting web sites explaining the concept like http://www.edutopia.org/blogs/tag/flipped-classroom.  or
videos at http://flippedclassroom.org/.  Check them out, not sure how I feel about the flipped classroom but it is worth looking into.

  1. I liked the infographics about differentiating instruction and applied those concepts in my ARPP comments about your problem statement. Also, the flipped classroom can be differentiated for readiness or learning styles for all students. It's a very powerful strategy.

  2. Hey, Green and Grey Classroom, what’s happening? I haven’t seen any recent posts. You might update with posts about your literature review.
