"When you flip, don't flop" - Making Flipped Learning Work for You: Simon Thomson
Abstract:
When we "flip" our classrooms it can be a daunting experience. There is a shift in emphasis from the "teacher" as knowledge provider (Sage on the Stage) to a more equal participatory relationship (Guide on the Side). This talk will explore the use of the "flipped classroom" model as a way of making best use of people, time and technology. Using the 4E framework (Thomson, 2012) as an approach for technology enhanced learning conversations, the session will explore how the flipped classroom can enrich the paedagogic experience for learner & teacher.
Simon asks: In the spirit of the topic, please visit this short web article prior to the session http://www.thedailyriff.com/articles/the-flipped-class-conversation-689.php
What is particularly interesting are the comments that accompany the article (scroll down to see them) which present some interesting perspectives. Whilst reading the article & the comments please have the following questions in mind:
- What does the flipped classroom mean for the students? (Positive & Negative)
- What does the flipped classroom mean for the academic? (Positive & Negative)
- What potential does the flipped classroom offer?
- What are the limitations of the flipped classroom?
