FLIPPED LEARNING ON THE MOVE!!
When I think of flipped
learning, I always think back to the phrase “When the going gets tough, the
tough should get going.” Education is always about finding innovative ways to
help our students as much as we can. The same concept applies to the idea of
flipped learning. I think flipped learning is a creative way of delivering
knowledge to our students. It is a way of teaching our students utilizing
technology to it’s limits. We are currently applying some of its concepts now,
but in a limited way of course. Flipped learning runs along smoothly with the
notion that our teachings should be student centered.
But with any new ideas,
doubt always stirs up. I agree with the article on how it fights off criticisms
of the idea, but it does bring uncertainty. There is the idea of accountability
or the students not even caring on the given subject matter. They could care
less because the teacher isn’t there. This is just a heads up on criticism
facing flipped learning. I have my own personal belief of how this might work.
It falls totally on the teachers to make it work for their students. We tend to
say a lot about determination and commitment, but I believe that this is where
we should put these concepts into action.
