Flipped Learning
What kind of learner am I? I am very visual and auditory. I can picture exactly where something will be in the book (even if I can't remember the text). I also remember how things were said.
That being said I do not think I would have benefited from flipped learning. I was the youngest of 4 siblings and growing up there was always some club or sport to get to and I did not have as much time to do homework. That isn't to say my homework didn't get done, or I suffered for it, the time just did not exist. I would not have had time to sit and learn and read a lesson to prepare for the next day, I would not have absorbed it.
I think now a days kids and families are so rushed that it may be a beneficial idea to have flipped learning so that kids will have to take a step back from everything to really think about school and to have that kind of focus.
Nice job, Ann! What if you flipped your classroom and one of your students didn't have a computer? How would you handle that? :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great question. I think before embarking on this type of classroom I would have had to discuss the ideas with the parents or families at home. There could potentially be a lending or borrowing system through the library, or even at my school, it is available to rent for a short time. If parents were not all in, I think it would be difficult to implement this type of learning.
DeleteI completely agree!
DeleteYou bring up an interesting point. In fact the same point you bring up is one of the reasons people are supportive of flipped learning because you can 'do' your homework anywhere if you have a smartphone.
