Its been a long time since my last post and I realise that while there is always so much I can talk about in a blog, there are times when I really don't feel like talking. I guess that's a downside of doing a blog. You always have to have something to say and have the inclination to say it. A great place for extroverted introverts! Anyway enough about me. This post is about
the
flipped classroom and how to encourage student engagement in
your flipped
classroom. I know some of
you may in fact be flipping your classroom without realising that you were
doing it since the strategy of active learning during class sessions and having
students prepare beforehand is not new and is in fact good teaching practice.
The question is usually how do you get your students to prepare beforehand. The
article
The Flipped Classroom: Tips for Integrating Moments of Reflection By
Barbi Honeycutt, PhD and Sarah Egan Warren gives an interesting perspective on
flipped classrooms and student engagement. Also note that The
Flipped Learning Network is a professional learning community focused particularly on the use of screencasting in education.Please read and share your views.
