About this Article:
This article is about maximizing class time by using
technology to give information and as a result, have more class time to spend
actually doing the actual fun learning activities. This article gave different
scenarios on how teachers used technology to help reduce the instructional time
and increase activity hands on time. The method is called flipped learning.
"Lower-level cognitive information should be moved out of the group space
and into the individual space where students can consume data at their own pace
and interact with the content in a manner that meets their individual
needs." The method is basically transformed into a center of learning
where students are applying, analyzing, and creating content, rather than
simply acquiring information.
Reflection:
I personally loved this method. I thought it was very
informative in a way that not only myself can benefit but my peer teachers as
well. We are becoming a technology based generation so being able to use it for
instructional time would help significantly. The only downfall about the
flipped method is yes it does help lower level learners but typically the lower
level are in lower socioeconomic families and the schools they attend cannot afford
the high technology. So how can we help the lower income school? Any ideas?
