Education Technology_Flipped-Learning Toolkit: Flipping the Non-Flippable Classes

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?
