Flipped Classroom
It was the first time this week that I got introduced to
this new way of active learning. I found it very interesting and enjoyable, and
I wish I had more seminars using this method. What I really enjoyed is the
fact that you can be anywhere, and all you need is internet access and a sofa
where to stay comfortable. On the other side, you have your friends and your professor
that can respond to your questions any time. Through videos you have the
possibility to learn about your lesson in a different way, plus through comments
you can express your opinion, or ask questions as well. I am very enthusiastic
about using this method in my future as a teacher.
First of all, using this method of online classroom in my
opinion has a lot of benefits, and I find it very helpful. I think, that by using this method we can help students work on their
own space and pace. What I find also as an advantage of flipped
classrooms is that through videos or online texts we give the opportunity to
students to learn about the content before attending classes, as well as to
reflect on them using different projects or assignments. This reflection can be
achieved by asking our students about the content of the texts or videos that
they were presented to. In this way, as teachers we get a feedback from our
students whether they got the gist of the lesson that they were presented, or
if they have any questions.
Moreover, as technology is growing every day we should be
aware that we use technology to make classes as funnier as possible. I think
that I can use flipped classrooms by including different apps to make the
classroom organized , to maintain students motivation, to save time and what is
more important to make them communicate with one another. Firstly, I would apply
Google classroom so that students get to know the lesson before they go to classrooms.
Secondly, I would also be enthusiastic about applying Edpuzzle on my classrooms,
as a new way through which I can check whether students have seen posted videos,
how often they have seen them, or if they have understood the content of it. Padlet,
can be another interesting app that I can use, where students are provided
with the opportunity to cooperate with each other and also to increase their
productivity. The last app could be Quizizz, through which I can provide the chance
to my students to enjoy their class through various games, and what is more
important to make them enjoy their time.
All in all, using flipped classrooms can be very helpful and effective. As the opposite of traditional teaching, here students learn about
their lesson before they attend classes, so there is more time left for activities and group works.As future teachers we will have more opportunities to
focus on students’ questions or problems. As a teacher to be I am really passionate about
using this method in my classes, and I believe also that my pupils will be excited
about this method. What about you guys, do you find it a good method to apply at your classes?
Thank you for reading my post.

I agree up to a point...Each of us must make a kind of organisation when it comes to flipping classrooms because not all the students find then comfortable!
I am as enthusiastic as you are about having my flipped classroom in the future.The video at the beginning of your reflection explains quite well what a flipped classroom looks like.Your reflection is well organized because you have began with listing the benefits of using this method in the classroom and then you have shown the ways that you will make use of this model in your future career.I do agree with you for using Google classroom,Edpuzzle,Quizizz because of their great advantages,which you have mentioned in your reflection.
ReplyDeletei think this was a great help... :)
ReplyDeleteI just read carefully your post and I saw you have mentioned the positive things this method has however we should not admit the struggle we faced last time .I do agree that the more we see things from good points of view the better we will do in the future .Such a positive reflection ,though.As for the question you should read my post and i have already answered there about applying this method or not.
