FLIPPED LEARNING

When I heard about flipped classroom I got confused because I did not know about the topic. But when I started reading I could understand that I was in a flipped classroom. I learned that the interaction is the key element when flipping the classroom. Students get information, they read and at the time of the class, they already have previous knowledge about the topic and it gets easy for me as a teacher to get deeper into the learning material. I also learned that students have to play and active role while preparing their homework. As a teacher, I have to motivate the students, build courses, create practices so the students get started with the information they have and the I can give feedbacks. 

I believe teaching isn’t only about giving knowledge or delivering content to the students. It is also equally important to make sure the students have understood and have an active learning experience. When technology is everyday speaking to people at all ages, the old traditional ways are no longer working anymore.

I have understood that there are many benefits when flipping the classroom and that they can affect the classical setting of it. All the tools are the teacher's to use, for the best delivery of instruction. In this case students are passive and whoever see the classroom get to know that students are anything but passive. It sometimes impact in the way that they look for more information and get passionate about the subject they are learning.

When students listen to lectures at home, solve any task and apply this knowledge inside the classroom. They do not get so frustrated. When they don't understand a new concept, they can ask questions and get immediate targeted answers.

The time: the time that is spent in the classroom sometimes is not enough for all the task like conversation that can be supported from exploring subjects in a deeper manner

The flipped classroom is very demanding, more than the traditional one. Teachers need to identify the individual learning needs of students, making sure they all use the class time to engage with the learning process. It can be more difficult compared to the traditional teaching method. It also come with a set of rewards that can be impacting in the particular teaching experience:

1.    When students come to class well prepared: there is no need to address content related questions.

2.    As soon as lecture is done, it can be reused as many time as I want.

3.    The flipped classroom give me the freedom to decide how much time to spend with each student.

4.    Offer more transparency for parents who know exactly what their kids are preparing for a school. This is a way parents and teacher get in better communication.

Students can watch video lectures at their own pace, and it also gives them the freedom to apply the knowledge gained.

The flipped classroom inspires me to offer a versatile and engaging way to share learning content, while putting more control into students' hands regarding their own learning processed
